Welcome to Canada Class
Class Teacher: Miss Pooley
Teaching Assistants: Mr Emmins, Miss Lester, Mrs Ryan and Mrs Woodward
We are an awesome class of Year 4, 5 and 6 children. Our values in Canada Class are learning, listening to each other, working together, trying our best and never giving up.
P.E.
Our P.E. days this term are Tuesday and Wednesday. Please ensure your child comes to school in their P.E. kit, which is suitable for outdoors (including appropriate footwear). Your child must also wear their blue federation hooded jumper. Children with long hair need to have this tied up for these lessons and any jewellery, including earrings, need to be removed.
For swimming, girls will need to wear a one-piece swimming suit, and boys must wear close fitting swimming trunks, no longer than mid-thigh in length.
Reading
Please ensure your child reads at home daily (either independently or adult-led), as this is vital for developing their comprehension skills, widening their vocabulary and supporting them with their writing. It is really important for children to re-read stories. Not only does this help with their fluency but also enables them to develop a stronger understanding of the story.
Books will be changed regularly at school and should be brought in every day to be checked by an adult. Children who read at home will receive two Westies per day as a reward. For each day your child reads, their name will be entered into the Reading Raffle, where they could win a book each half term.
Autumn Term Topic
This is Me!
This term, we will be learning all about “This Is Me”. We will explore what makes each of us special and unique, including our families, friends, likes, dislikes, talents and interests. Through fun activities, stories, art and discussions, children will have the opportunity to share their experiences, celebrate their individuality and learn about the similarities and differences between themselves and others. We will encourage confidence, kindness and respect as we discover what makes us who we are.
Other subjects
Cooking – We will learn how to prepare simple foods safely, follow instructions, explore different ingredients and develop important life skills.
Community Access – We will visit places in our local community, practise independence skills, learn how to stay safe and build confidence in different environments.
P.S.H.E. – We will explore feelings, friendships, relationships, healthy lifestyles and ways to look after ourselves and others.
Creative Arts – We will express ourselves through a range of creative activities, including art, music, crafts and sensory experiences, while developing our imagination and creativity.
