Autumn 1

Welcome to Class 7!

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you and your child to Class 7! For those of you who may not know me, I am Angela Makepeace and I will be your child’s teacher for the next academic year. Alongside myself, Anne Fothergill and Amie Bolton will be supporting us in Class 7. Anne will also teach the class on a Thursday morning. The children have made an incredible start to the year and have settled into our classroom routines brilliantly.  I have really enjoyed getting to know the children so far and I know this year is going to be amazing! We have a superb year ahead of us and I can’t wait to begin exploring the topics we have lined up for the year with the children.

This curriculum newsletter will tell you all about the units and areas of learning being covered in this first half term. All the children will be learning the same topics but will cover the specific year group expectations for Year 3 and Year 4. Our first topic is called ‘How did Britain change from the Stone Age to the Iron Age?’ and many of our subjects will relate to this.

Ukulele lessons will begin on Thursday 12th September and the children will be taught by Sean Bennett from the Lancashire Music Service. A permission letter will be sent home to allow your child to use a school ukulele and to bring it home to practice with. Please return this to myself.

The class curriculum map can be found below and this will give you all the information you need to know about what your child is learning. It also identifies our community link with Chorley Help the Homeless Charity, with whom we collect food and toiletry donations at certain times of the year.  We will also continue to be pen pals with a school in the USA which we started last year.

PE day for this first half-term is Tuesday. The children can come into school wearing their school PE kit. 

If you do have any questions or queries, please don't hesitate to call school or contact me via email.

Angela Makepeace.
