We have 24 pupils from Year 6 in our class. We work with a range of teachers throughout the week to make the most of their subject specialisms. Our main teachers are Ms Catchpole and Mrs Anderson. We also work with Mrs Penrose, specialist PE coaches and Ms Shaw who is an Art specialist. Please see the timetable pdf for who teaches on which days.
Welcome to the summer term in Yew Class. For the first part of this term we will be focussing on preparing for the SATs test in May. We will then have lots of time to enjoy a range of curriculum topics and lots of extras such as the production, sports day and transition days at secondary school. We will end the year by celebrating the children's time at Petersfield with the Leavers Assembly.
Our PE days are Wednesday and Friday with Miss King. Commando Joe is on a Thursday. Children should wear PE kit on these days. Please remember to take earrings out before coming to school on these days.
You will need:
To know if you are having school dinner or a packed lunch and what your after-school arrangements are (going home on the bus or in a taxi, going to Puffins, going to a club, being picked up or walking home on your own). If you would like to walk home without an adult, please make sure that we have written permission from your parents for you to do so.
Your reading book, reading record and any completed homework.
A drinking bottle of fresh WATER.
A fresh fruit snack for break time.
A coat or waterproof jacket - we work and play outside in all weathers!
Outdoor shoes and a change of clothes for the school field in winter.
Your PE Kit (team coloured T-shirt, shorts and trainers, plus track suit type trousers and top during the winter months). This should be worn to school on PE days.
A warm hat and gloves in cold weather.
A sun hat during in hot weather.
All stationery is provided so you do not need a pencil case.
Effective feedback involves a dialogue between teachers and learners to identify what has been done well and the next steps for 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.
In Yew Class we take pride in our work and we make sure that certain things are always correct.
