Green Class 2023 - 2024

Green Class Teacher

Welcome to Green Class!

We hope that you all had a wonderful summer. The Green Class team are looking forward to welcoming the children back into school for a year full of exciting learning.

The staff in Green Class this year are Miss Munro, Mrs Degg and Miss Harrison.

We have lots of interesting topics planned this year where the children will build on a love of learning and have the opportunity to explore and challenge themselves in different ways.

This term, our topic will have a historical focus as we delve into The Stone Age (please see the Autumn Term plans for more information). We will use the book Stone Age Boy by Satoshi Kitamura as stimulus as well as exploring other texts relating to this fascinating time.

In Science, we will begin by learning about forces and magnets and the children will learn how forces impact their everyday lives. The children will also begin learning French this year – there really is lots to be looking forward to!

For other curriculum areas please see this term’s Medium Term Plan at the bottom of the webpage. There is also an Autumn timetable attached. 

Some housekeeping reminders:  

Snacks – Please send snacks in a small, named container or with their name written on the snack. Healthy snacks which do not contain any nuts please. Children can also bring money for snack.

Reading – Reading is such a huge part of your child’s learning journey. We will read with your child every day as part of a whole class guided reading session. Please continue to read at home with your child - 10 minutes a day really does make all the difference. Please record this in your child’s reading diary so we know they have read to an adult.

Spellings - Spelling rules and patterns are taught daily in class, there will be no weekly spelling test.  

Homework – In Green Class, the children will be given weekly homework on a Friday, which should be handed in on the following Wednesday for marking. There will be no homework set during the first week back.   

PE - PE this term will be on Monday and Wednesday. Please continue to send your child into school wearing PE kit on those days.   

Outdoor learning – Green Class will enjoy their outdoor learning sessions in Spring Term. When we do outdoor learning, we will send an email and text reminder. On these days, children will come to school in home clothes and bring wellies and waterproofs. 

Pencil cases - Your child will be given their own pencil case and equipment to keep in school. They will not need to bring in any further stationery.   

Please put your child’s name on ALL their belongings!  

If you have any questions then please see Miss Munro on the gate. You can also ring school on 01270 906120 or email me on amunro@peartreeprimary.co.uk

We look forward to working with you this term to support your child throughout the year ahead.

Many thanks,

Miss Munro and Team Green
