September 2024

Welcome to an exciting year in Grasshoppers class!

Our PE days will be on a Monday and Friday, Gymnastics on a Monday afternoon and Paces on a Friday afternoon.

Please ensure that your child has the correct PE kit and appropriate footwear.

Reading

We regard reading as high importance at Peterchurch and encourage children to read at least 5 times a week and that this is recorded in their reading log and signed by an adult. Children who met this expectation will have an additional play once a week where children who need to catch up on their reading will have the opportunity to do so.

Times tables

Please ensure that your child practises their tables using TT Rockstars. In Years 5 and 6 times tables are heavily relied on in maths so the more confident the children are with these, the better! If you would prefer paper copies of times tables, I am happy to sort this for your child.

Spellings

Please ensure that your child practises their weekly spellings using Spelling Shed. The children will sit a weekly spelling test every Friday.

Please also ensure that your child has a bottle of water and coat in school daily.

Thank you for your continued support, If you have any queries, then please see me at the start/end of the school day, contact us via Dojo or through the school office.

Thanks,

Mr Carvell
