Welcome back!
Welcome back! We hope that you all enjoyed the Summer break and are ready for a new School year. The children have settled in well to St Piran Class these last two days and have enjoyed exploring their new classroom.
Meet the teacher
On Wednesday the 9th of September at 3:30pm and 5pm we are holding meet the teacher sessions at the School. Our session will take place in St Piran Classroom. Please come along to find out a bit more about what your children will be learning about this year and our routine in St Piran Class. If you are unable to attend either of these sessions please see me to arrange a meeting at a more convenient time.
Mrs Davis
Mrs Davis will be teaching the class on a Thursday afternoon whilst I am on my scheduled time out of the classroom. As a getting to know you activity your child will have brought home a brown bag which they need to fill with one or some of the suggested items. These bags need to be brought back by Thursday please and this will be the homework for this week. Next week I will set the first piece of homework which your child will bring home in their homework book. Please complete the activity with your child. Each activity is related to our learning from the week and should take no longer than twenty minutes to complete.
Reading
Your child will be asked to read and have their reading book changed at least once a week by myself or Miss Dix. If they have finished their book and would like to change it please feel free to change their reading book in the morning. Reading books are kept in colour coded boxes just outside of Penhaligon class. If you are unable to change their book please mention to one of the team that their book needs changing and we will provide the children with the opportunity to do so at a later point in the day.
Home learning
In St Piran Class ‘Home Learning’ is celebrated and the children enjoy showing their classmates the learning they have completed in their own time. If your child would like to bring in home learning to share please make sure that it is related to our current topic or our maths. At the moment we have one more week on ‘The Big Build’ focussing on construction and The Three Little Pigs.
PE Kits
Our scheduled times for PE are on a Monday afternoon and a Wednesday afternoon. Each child will need their own labelled PE kit in school on these days. We will be going outside for PE as much as the weather allows us, so please make sure your child has either trainers or plimsolls in their PE kit. As the weather turns colder children are also allowed to wear either dark tracksuit bottoms or leggings as part of their PE kit.
If you have any queries or concerns please do not hesitate to come and see us. You can also contact me on my School email address as included below or arrange an appointment to come and see me before or after School.
Many thanks
