Welcome to our web page,  where you can find out lots of exciting information about our class and follow our learning journey throughout the year.

 

Class Information:

Reading Challenge

Every child will need a bookbag and will need to bring it to school everyday. The expectation is that all children read at least 4 times per week and will be awarded one sticker on their Reading Challenge card. If they read at least five times they will earn two stickers. Milestones earn prizes! 

All reading can be logged on our BoomReader online reading journal:

Key Stage 1 SATS

Mrs Harrop and Mrs Bradley are responsible for judging the standards your child is working at in English reading, English writing, mathematics and science, by the end of key stage 1. To help inform those judgements, pupils sit national curriculum tests in English and mathematics, commonly called SATs. They may also sit an optional test in English grammar, punctuation and spelling.
The tests are a tool for teachers to help them measure your child’s performance and identify their needs as they move into key stage 2. They also allow teachers to see how your child is performing against national expected standards. The tests can be taken any time during May and they are not strictly timed. Pupils may not even know they are taking them as many teachers will incorporate them into everyday classroom activities.
