Welcome to Chestnut Class 2026-2027

We are pleased to welcome you to Chestnut Class for the 2026-2027 academic year. Mrs. Worthington is the Class Teacher and she is supported by Mrs. Patel.

We look forward to sharing our journey with you throughout the year, celebrating the learning that the children take, and exploring the exciting activities that we will participate in as part of our learning this year. 

Thank you for visiting our page. We hope you enjoy following our adventures over the year! 

 

English

In English, we are studying the unit Fables and will be exploring some wonderful texts, including the Ostrich and the Penguin. We will be focusing on using the determiners "a" and "an" and further embedding how to use dialogue in our writing toolkit. 

Maths

In Maths, we are moving on to our Multiplication unit, with a focus on the 3 and 4 times tables, which we have been studying on Times Table Rock Stars as well. We will look at using known facts to support us when multiplying.

Reading

We encourage all children to read with an adult at least three times each week. Reading is a vital skill, and we make use of Accelerated Reader within our school to help the children with their understanding of the books they have read. Below, you can see a total of the books read by Chestnut Class this year - wow!

P.E Days

Our P.E. days are Tuesday and Wednesday.

Children should come to school dressed in their full P.E. kit on these days. They may wear their school jumper or cardigan over their kit if needed. Please ensure that children also have a pair of suitable trainers for P.E. lessons.

Homework

Homework will be set on Fridays and should be completed and returned by Mondays.

We use Century Tech for our homework, as the site makes use of technology to identify what the children have struggled with. Century Tech will then set additional practice for the children to target these areas.

 

Any Questions?

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to send a message via ClassDojo, and I will respond as soon as possible. Alternatively, you are welcome to speak to me at the beginning or end of the school day.

 

Thank you for your continued support,

 Mrs. Worthington.
