Speedwell Class Page
Welcome to the Speedwell Class!
We are Year 4 and Year 5.
Our teacher is Mr Ford.
Our teaching assistants are Mrs Hill, Mrs Slyfield & Mrs Bonanno.
In Speedwell, we start our day by having an emotional check-in to make sure we are all feeling ready to start our day. We have an opportunity to talk about feelings with a trusted adult when we don't feel ready. This is also a good time for us all to come together to start a new day.
In maths, we follow Whiterose, with Year 4 and 5 being taught separately. We use carefully selected books to hook and inspire the children’s writing, whether it is non-fiction or story writing. This is based on the Literacy Tree scheme of work.
Home Learning
In Speedwell Class, the children are expected to complete a number of home Learning tasks.
The first is Times Table Rockstars practice. This can be located at https://ttrockstars.com/ . We ask all pupils to do this 3 times a week. It does not need to be longer than 5-10minutes at a time.
The second is 5-10 minutes of reading 3 times a week. Children will be entered into our reading raffle when they read 3 times a week.
Home learning (Let's Discover) for year 4 and 5 can be found on SeeSaw and at the bottom of this page. Please upload any work onto SeeSaw to share with the rest of the class.
Parents will receive the child's individual log in details from their class teacher. We encourage all parents to access Seesaw as children's work, pictures and videos of activities are often uploaded on the site.
