Ali class
Welcome to Ali Class!
Here you will find our newsletters, photos of our topic work and any important information about our class.
Ali Class is taught by Mr Prosser from Monday to Friday. Please pop back regularly (and don’t forget to visit our Class Photos tab) to see what we have been getting up to throughout the year.
It is going to be another busy and exciting term with test weeks, and lots of learning taking place across the curriculum.
Our SATS-boosting term will have a greater focus on spelling, punctuation and grammar, reading and maths.
SATS boosting
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 but must be brought back to school each day as lessons will require them.
We are aware that this will be a very focused term and all we ask is for all children to try their best. If there are any concerns or anxieties around SATS, please do get in contact.
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 Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Homework: A homework grid for this term is attached below (if required).
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.
Regular practise on Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS) helps pupils to retain knowledge and helps them to utilise these facts in other mathematical learning. Please encourage your child to log in regularly - even if only for a few minutes each time.
