Welcome to Class 4's Information Page

Miss Debenham and Mrs Rigby
Years 5 and 6
Miss Debenham and Mrs Rigby teach Class 4 which is made up of Year 5 and Year 6 pupils. They are supported by Mrs Steele who is the class learning support assistant. In Class 4 the children have many responsibilities such as library monitors, play leaders, recycling monitors and preparing the hall ready for assembly. They are all encouraged to be great role models for the younger children in school.
Many of the children in Class 4 are enthusiastic about sport and throughout the year they can participate within many sporting events. The children love being active and particularly look forward to taking part in a number of inter-school tournaments.
In Class 4 we try to continue the cross-curricular approach to learning. Therefore many of our lessons are linked to our topics for History and Geography such as writing World War 2 diary entries, newspaper reports and exploring artwork from the War.
Homework
In Class 4 all homework is generally given out on a Wednesday. It is collected in the following Wednesday. This gives each child a chance to organise their own workload over the week, in order for them to return it on time. A typical week’s homework given out would consist of:
- A Maths or English task linked to their learning in class.
- Spellings which will follow a given pattern
- Regular Reading
Throughout a half term they may also be asked to create a Science or Topic research project.
Additional Information
If your child has guitar lessons at school these will take place on Friday mornings.
Every child is given a new home/school notebook at the beginning of the year. These are a vital means of communication, and as such they should be in school every day for the sharing of comments linked to your child’s reading or simply for quick messages. The school is continuing to use Class Dojo this year to communicate as well so please feel free to contact us on there if you have any questions or concerns.
