Welcome to a new year at St Joseph's with exciting learning opportunities ahead.  This page provides a glance at the learning journey your children will be on.

Teaching Team:

Mrs Rowlands will be teaching on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdday mornings.  Mr Farmer wll teach on Wednesday afternoon, Thursdays and Fridays.  Mrs Lamb will be in class every mmorning during the week.

The children will be taught by the Rhinos on Tuesday mornings, where they can come to school in their PE Kit, they will need to bring their uniform to change into.  Their second PE session is on Friday afternoon so they will need to come to school in their unifform with their PE Kit.

The children in St Andrew's will start their swimming sessions on Friday afternoons in the Spring and Summer terms, more information will follow in December.

Curriculum:
All curriculum details are in the half-termly newsletter on this page.

Homework:
Weekly each child will receive:
Maths Toolkit - to be handed in on Monday
Spelling List - a test will be given on Wednesdays

Reading: 
The children will be provided 2 books weekly, which need to be handed in on Monday.  Please can they bring their reding books daily as they may be reading to an adult.
In addition, this term our CLass Author is Michael Morpurgo.  Children will be given a term to read his books whereupon they will then use their knowledge to write settings and provided character descritions.  This provides an opportunbity for children to read a lengthy piece of fiction and for you to share the joy of reading with the children.

Times Tables:
This year the children in Year 4 will sit an external test on their tables knowledge.  To help with their learning we are having a weekly tables test in class for all children.  The school has provided Times Tables Rockstars to explore their tables in a fun and enjoyable way.  Usernames and passwords will be provuided to the children to access this resource both at school and at home. 

Thank you for all your help in promoting your child's learning and we look forward to meeting you on Wednesday 11th September at 5:30-6:30pm.


Regards 
Mr Farmer, Mrs Rowlands and Mrs Lamb
