Green Class

Green Class is a year 3/4 class taught by Miss A Green (class teacher), Mrs D Irving (HLTA), Mrs C Duplessis and Mrs S Naylor (part-time TAs).

There are 30 children in Green Class, made up of 14 Year 3 children and 16 Year 4 children.

We have P.E. twice a week, on Monday (outdoor games session) and Friday afternoon (indoor dance or gymnastics), and the year 3 children go swimming on a Wednesday afternoon. Please make sure PE kits and swimwear are in school on these days.

This is Ollie the octopus. He is the Green Class mascot, and his tentacles represent our Learning Goals! Members of Green Class need to do the Learning Goals to get a sticker! After they have collected three stickers, Mrs Burrow or Mr Broadbent will exchange them for a large sticker, and put their name in the Good Learners box ready for the celebration assembly!

Our learning goals are...

Communication
Cooperation
Resilience
Perseverance
Enquiry
Pride
Respect

Topic

Brazil and the Rain forest!

Before we broke up for Easter, we had a very exciting visitor - Ella from Zoolab! She brought in lots of Rain forest creatures for us to meet! We enjoyed meeting and gently touching the millipede, the rats and the snake. We even had chance to look at a scorpion!

This half term, we will be using maps to locate rain forests, and compare Brazil to our country. We may even have time for a carnival!

Your child has been given their Mathletics and Bug Club passwords next week.
