Welcome to Tiger Class

What a great Spring Term in Tiger Class! Well done to all the children for their efforts this term and many thanks to all of the Parents/Carers for their continued support. Mrs Wilcock is the class teacher for this year, supported by Mrs Stableford. 

During the Spring Term in English, we read the fairy tale 'The Pied Piper' and we worked towards writing our own fairy tales. Then, we wrote an information text about 'The Giant's Causeway'. During Summer 1, we will be exploring stories with a dilemma and we will be reading 'The Suitcase Kid' by Jacqueline Wilson. Following this, we will be writing a recount. 

For maths, we follow the Maths No Problem scheme of work and we began the Spring Term by looking at multiplication and division. During Spring, we also worked on graphs and fractions. In the Summer Term, we will be focusing on time, decimals, money, length, mass and volume. We would encourage parents/carers to be taking about the time with their children as much as possible in both digital and analogue forms. Mental maths will also take place daily. 

Our wider curriculum topic for Spring 2 focused on coasts. During our geography lessons, we explored how people live by the coasts and how the coasts can be helpful for powering the UK. During the Summer Term, we will be learning about The Anglo-Saxons. We will be focusing on what life was like for Anglo-Saxon people, the Picts and Scots, how Christianity changed Anglo-Saxon Britain and Sutton Hoo.

PE lessons will take place on Monday afternoons and Wednesday mornings. Please ensure your child has the correct kit (red Woodlea t-shirt, plain black shorts and plain black pumps). Outdoor kit is also encouraged (plain black tracksuit top, plain black tracksuit pants and trainers). 

Updates, letters and homework will be shared via your child's SeeSaw account. Details of how to access this can be found in the back of your child's reading record. We also have a class Twitter page, please follow us: @TigerClassWJS

Homework will be set on a Friday to be completed by the following Friday. It will be set online, through SeeSaw. Homework club will take place on Tuesdays after school until 4:15pm, where children will have the opportunity to access iPads and staff support. In addition to homework set, children must read at least 4 times per week. This should be a combination of books and Reading Plus. Books will go home on a Friday to be returned by the following Friday. Reading records must be signed by an adult.
