Welcome to Chestnut Class!

Class Teachers: Mrs Hitchen & Mrs Parveen

Teaching Assistant: Mrs Burley

Mrs Uddin will teach Chestnut Class on a Monday and Wednesday afternoon.

PE Days

Our PE day is Tuesday.

Children need to come to school in their PE kit.

They will also need non-black soled trainers for PE.

Our Swimming day is Friday. Children should arrive at school with their swimwear in their bag and should wear their PE kit. Children must bring a towel and a swimming hat.

Homework

Homework will be sent home on a Friday and will be expected back in school on a Monday. Homework will be English or Maths each week.

It is also expected that each week children complete the quiz on Accelerated Reader and spend time using TTRS to help consolidate their times table knowledge. 

Reading

All children are expected to READ TO AN ADULT at least THREE TIMES A WEEK. 

This is imperative if we are to help our children build their reading comprehension and reading stamina in general. 

We encourage the children to keep up with their reading at home and this will be monitored so that the children can then win their Reading Badges.
