Base 6 - The Swordfish
In Base 6, we have Miss Stevens, the class teacher, alongside our teaching assistants, Mrs Broomhall and Mrs Garrett.
We hope you visit our webpage regularly for updates on how we are growing as learners and to see some of the fun learning opportunities that we have been taking part in.
Useful information
PE
We have PE on Monday and Thursday mornings. On Thursdays, children can come to school in their PE kits. Please ensure that all items are clearly labelled with your child’s name.
Homework
Each child has been issued with a folder which contains their Literacy, Maths and Handwriting homework. These activities allow children to revisit their learning covered over the past week.
Homework for Literacy and Maths is sent home on a Friday and should be returned the following Wednesday. Children are also encouraged to use TTRS for a minimum of 10 minutes a week in order for the children to practice their times tables. Logins have been issued in the front of their reading journals.
This term
Value of the Season
The Value of the Season is Hope. We will be exploring the importance of hope especially when setting ourselves goals for the future.
Reading
Reading is a huge focus at Teagues Bridge and we encourage the children to be reading at least 4 times a week. Please ensure that your child’s diaries are regularly updated as these will be monitored weekly.
In class, this half term we are reading ‘The Mountains Roared’ by Jess Butterworth.
