TO  SYCAMORE  CLASS

Superb Sycamore

Our Class Teachers are: Miss Lavery, Mrs Taylor and Miss Adair

We are really excited about the year ahead. Our whole team are looking forward to working with you all. We will be creating lots of super memories with each and every one of you - working hard but also having some fun!

A few things to remember:

Any child requiring an inhaler needs to have it in school every day.

• We enter school, from 8.40-8.50am, through the main entrance, and exit at 3.30pm, through the green gate at side of the classrooms.
• Please bring a named water bottle to school each day.
• If you have a sports afterschool club, wear your school uniform and bring your PE kit in a bag so that you can get changed after school.
• Please check all your clothes are labelled, especially coats and jumpers!
• During the colder months, please remember to wear a coat or waterproof.
• Please remember our school uniform policy. 

If you need any help or assistance please do not hesitate to get in touch with us, or the school office.

Sycamore class have PE on Mondays and Fridays.

Children are to come to school in their PE kit. Hair should be tied back and earrings removed before school.

Our Home Learning:

Spellings: 

Your current 'set' of 5 spelling words from your 'Super Spelling' booklet, which will be tested through the week.

Reading: 

Each time an adult listens to you read, please record this on your Booklog Bookmark  - these will add up towards achieving your 'Rainbow Reading Certificates' (& beyond!) -  ALL reading can be recorded not just your school reading book.

You will be allocated a range of Mirodo Tasks each term that you can access via your Mirodo Home page - these will be English - grammar, reading and spelling, Maths and Science topics. These Mirodo activities can be used as a 'PRE Teach' to familiarise yourself with the topic before you learn about it in class; or as a 'POST Teach' to revise the topic after learning about it in class.

You can also revise any topic you want in the 'Practice Area' of your Mirodo page

Our Curriculum for 2026-27

This term our theme is 'We are all Born Free'

During our current topic - WE ARE ALL BORN FREE - we will be reading and exploring a book by Onjali Q. Raúf - 'The Boy at the Back of the Class' -  where we meet Ahmet, a refugee boy from Syria, as he enters a classroom in the UK for the very first time. We will use this story as an inspiration for our own writing throughout the term. We will also be studying some key historic figures who have had a positive influence on our World and promoting Human Rights.

During Science lessons this term we will be exploring Evolution & Inheritence:

We LOVE Reading

Remember to regularly visit our school library, and enjoy the wide variety of books it has on offer. Pick a reading book to read in school and at home.
