Welcome to Class 3!

Mrs Williams is the Class Teacher

A note from Mrs Williams…  Welcome back, I hope you all had an enjoyable Easter break.  It is lovely to be starting our new topic this week …POTIONS!  We begin with reading  Alice in Wonderland and thinking about Solids, Liquids and Gases in our ‘States of Matter’ Science topic. We have some exciting activities planned for this half term!

P.E. PE lessons will continue taking place on Fridays and will be delivered by the Lancashire Sports Partnership.

Swimming also continues on Mondays, the coach will leave for Tarleton Academy at 1.35pm and will return by the end of the school day.  I am very proud of everyone during these lessons so far, keep up the good work!

Spelling - St.John’s uses The Spelling  Shed which embraces the knowledge of patterns and rules as well as the  learning of spellings from the statutory words, common exceptions and personal spellings.  Your child will be taught spelling daily in class and bring home a pattern / rule to focus on each week. Their understanding will be assessed  each Thursday.

Reading— Thank you to so many parents that are supporting your child’s reading at home. Please continue to listen to your child read as often as you can and record this in the Reading Record book. Your child will read with me in a focused Guided Reading group on a weekly basis, as well as on a daily basis within lessons. Each child is responsible for changing their own book when needed, within the stage they are on. We are focusing on detailed understanding and comprehension of texts this year so please try to talk about the main events of the story / characters in the book / where the story takes place/ what will happen next etc.

Times Tables

Please encourage your child to learn their times tables as we practise them every week. The children will be given the opportunity to earn certificates as they progress. Please note it is important they understand the related division facts:

So : 2 multiplied by 5 = 10    so      10 divided by 5 = 2. 

Snacks

Named water bottles and healthy snacks may be bought into school—toast is available for 20 pence a day—online payment please.

If you have any questions or concerns, I am available to discuss your child’s  academic or social progress – just call into the office to make an appointment or email me -   d.williams@burscough.lancs.sch.uk.

Thank you, for your continued support,

Mrs Williams                                                                                                                                d.williams@burscough.lancs.sch.uk
