Our Learning
In Hawthorn Class, we want our children to be safe, happy, excited and challenged to be the best they can be. Our learning environment is shaped by an understanding of what children can achieve and by delivering teaching and learning opportunities that meet individual needs. We want to give the children the ‘best days of their lives.’
In our curriculum, we teach to develop skills, knowledge, concepts, attitudes and creativity. We want the children to become critical learners and thinkers who are shaped to become lifelong learners. The topics show how we enable pupils to demonstrate progression of skills built on from previous years, as well as allowing the opportunity to teach and learn new subject knowledge.
- Our PE day is Tuesday. The children will need plain, dark jogging bottoms and shorts, a white t-shirt and jumper. They will also need pumps/trainers to change into.
- Outdoor learning takes place on alternative Fridays. The children will need wellington boots during the winter months.
- Homework will sent home on Fridays to be completed for the following Friday.
- If you do have any questions then please get in touch. The parent email address is parents@sjk.bcwcat.co.uk
Things you could do at home
English
- Please read with your child as regularly as possible. The more they read, the more confident and fluent your child will become. 'Reading Plus' is an excellent resource that can be used at home
- Books will be changed everyday if required.
Maths
- Please practise times tables on a regular basis. Your child should know all of their times tables. Please make the most of the Times Tables Rock-stars subscription we have. If you require your child's log in, then please get in touch.
Fabulous Facts
- At the start of each half term, I will send out a sheet with key information regarding our history/geography and science work. Please use this as a talking point and look at the vocabulary together with your child.
Takeaway homework
- Each half term I will send home a 'Takeaway Homework' sheet. House points are awarded on completion of tasks. They can be brought in at any time.
Google Classroom
- Google Classroom is a fantastic hub for you to share work and keep in contact with the rest of the class. I will also upload any messages or news on there so please check it regularly. The virtual classroom is an excellent place to share home learning, takeaway homework or anything exciting you have done at home that your child would like to show to the class.
