Class MC's Timetable

This year our school councillors are:

Our Theme this  term is ... 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'

This term, our theme will be ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ by Roald Dahl. In our English lessons, we will be writing our own versions of the story, as well as writing a range of non-fiction texts based on chocolate. In Geography, we will be learning about where in the world cocoa is grown and the journey it takes to become chocolate. For Science, our lessons will focus on the digestive system and teeth. We will look at how our bodies digest chocolate and the impact sugary foods have on our teeth. In Art, we will study Quentin Blake, Roald Dahl’s famous illustrator. We will examine some of his fantastic illustrations and then attempt to recreate some examples of his artwork. In our Philosophy lessons, we will look at the dilemmas that the children in the story faced as we learn about rules and responsibilities. As well as reading the book, we will watch scenes from the film and in Music we will create a soundtrack to accompany a scene from the film. 

Parent Pupil Projects

Our Parent Pupil Project this term was to create your own Willy Wonka inspired chocolate themed sweet treat. These will then be displayed around the classroom for a short time before being eaten and enjoyed! 

Our Autumn Term Theme is ...
​'Once Upon a Time'
Homework
Homework is usually sent out on Tuesday afternoon and should be returned to school on the following Monday. Please have a quick look at it on the day that it is sent home, even if you don't intend to do it then - that way, if you have any problems, you have got time to ask about it and get any help that you need.
There are four types of task: English, Maths, Times Tables/Spelling practise or a 'Learning Log' style task. Also don't forget to read and get your record signed! Reading should be done four times a week at home. See our school page for examples of Star Homework

​Spellings
In addition, a new set of spellings will be set on a Monday. These should be learnt and the children will be tested on the Friday of the same week.
PE
Our PE lessons are:

​Tuesday afternoon - indoor  
Friday morning - outdoor 

It is important to have a correct and complete kit for all PE lessons, this must be worn to school on PE days. Earrings should not be worn.

PE Kit - red shorts and plain white t-shirt or plain red, grey or black tracksuit.

Collaborative Learning Opportunities

Throughout the term, the children are given the opportunity to work in small groups, allowing them to develop in many ways: share ideas and workload, work effectively as part of a group, developing their communication skills, and delegating specific roles within that group, to each individual. 

 

Key Skill: 
The termly theme is incorporated and linked to the school curriculum and will provide the children with access to lots of exciting and interesting lessons which I hope class MC will enjoy.
