Elm

Our teacher is Miss Whitehead. All teaching assistants will work in all classes throughout the school. However, Mrs Want is based in Elm.

Our PE days are generally on a Wednesday and Thursday.

Geography
Why is our world wonderful?
We will be exploring the geography of the UK and the wider world by identifying key features of the UK, naming the oceans and locating them on a world map.

History
How have explorers changed the world?
We will be learning to create timelines, investigating journeys of exploration and comparing exploration in the past with exploration today.

Our PE days are generally Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Please remember to wear your PE kit to school on these days.

Please ensure you have a change of trainers for outside sessions.

- Your PE Kit (team coloured T-shirt, shorts and trainers, plus track suit type trousers and top during the winter months). - Your book bag, with reading book and any completed homework.
- Bottle of fresh WATER everyday.
- Outdoor shoes and a change of clothes for the school field in winter which can be put on over your school clothes and a coat.
- Warm hat and gloves during the winter.
- To know if you are a school dinner or a packed lunch.
- Sun hat and sun cream during the summer.


All stationery will be provided.

We all have been involved in a dialogue about the high expectations we have of all pupils. Effective feedback involves a dialogue to identify what has been done well and the next steps to learning. Pupils are regularly given verbal feedback about their work and areas to work on. Where appropriate, we use pink highlighting to identify where we are 'Tickled Pink' that the Success Criteria (expectations set out at the start of the lesson) have been achieved. Green highlighting identifies a next step (Green for Growth). Children are also encouraged to self-edit and correct or improve something using their purple polish pen. For more information, please do ask your child, read our policy which can be found at www.petersfield.cambs.sch.uk or speak to us.
