Our Learning

Welcome to Turing class! Here you will find our newsletters, photos of our topic work and any important information about our class. Our class is taught by Mr Rourke Monday to Thursday. 

It's going to be a busy term! Our SATS-boosting term will have a greater focus on spelling, punctuation and grammar, reading and maths.

SATS boosting

As mentioned above, some of our lessons will have a focus on the forthcoming SATS tests. We don't want our children becoming overly anxious about this and if you do have any questions, please do not hesitate to get into contact.

SPAG homework will be given out on Monday to be returned by Thursday.

Maths homework will be given out on Thursday to be returned by the following Monday. 

Boosting packs will be able to be taken home to complete homework. However, please only do the pages that have been set to by either Mr Rourke or Mr Prosser. Please do not do anything extra.

We do ask that children take care of their packs as they will be taken home for homework, but must be brought back to school each day as lessons will require them.

Important Class Information:

PE Days: Tuesdays and Fridays. Children need to come to school wearing their PE kit.

Reading Books: reading books will be changed on Tuesday.

Homework: A homework grid for this term is attached below.

Reading: Please continue to listen to your child read daily, even for 10 minutes, and encourage them to complete the reading task in the reading journal. Books should be changed regularly. Comprehension texts will continue to be set for the children to complete regularly on Rockerbox at home. 

Times Tables: It is important all pupils are learning (and continue to practice) the timetables up to the 12 times table. These should be known by the end of year 4 but it is essential that the children continue to practice and recall these facts.
