Lewis Class

Mrs Jenkins and Mrs J Grady

Support staff: Mrs Riley

Welcome to the Lewis Class page. Our class is named after the very famous children's author, C.S Lewis, who wrote 'The Chronicles of Narnia'. The class have two teachers. Mrs Jenkins will be teaching  Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday morning and Mrs Grady will be working Wednesday/Thursday afternoon and Friday.

If you would like to see what we have been learning have a look at our class blog below.

English

This half term our class novel is ''How to train your dragon.' Children will complete high quality reading tasks including guided reading and all of their  writing in English lessons will be based on this book.  

Children will also complete spellings using our new spelling scheme which is accessible online. We will send home children's login details so that all the activities can be completed at home too. This will replace the spelling homework that we used to set. 

Home Reading

Children should read regularly every day. This is the most important homework the children have. Listen to your child read for about ten minutes and then ask them questions about what they have just read. It is also important that children experience a wide variety of reading books at home, as well as school. Books need to be returned to school every day as we will endeavour to hear your child read at least once a week and change the books when we do this. 

Maths

In Maths we follow the 'White Rose' scheme. Again, will will send home children's login details for the online 'My Maths ' homework which needs to be completed weekly. We will also be sending home times tables for the children to practise. 

Topic, Art and DT

In topic this half term we will be studying history and our topic is the Anglo Saxons. Our Science lessons are all about the human body and during art we will plan and create a sculpture using paper and cardboard. 

PE

PE will take place on Monday and Thursday. The children are expected to come to school in their PE kit on Tuesdays only. This includes:

• Black/navy/dark grey jogging bottoms or tracksuit bottoms
• White T-shirt
• School cardigan/ Jumper
• black trainers

Please can I ask that all parents ensure PE kit and uniform all have names written in them so that they don’t get lost.

Homework

Homework will be sent out every Friday and children will have until the following Friday to complete this. Homework will include online 'Spelling Frame' activities, online 'My Maths' work and reading activities. We expect children to be reading with parent/guardians several times a week to practise their skills.

We encourage the children to bring a water bottle into school in case they are thirsty through-out the day. It is really important that they are kept hydrated so it is so much easier if they have their own water bottle in school.

As your child’s teachers, we are here if you ever need us so please don’t hesitate to contact the school on 01254 702119. Lines are open 8am-4.00pm.
