Welcome to Chestnut Class

Hello and a big warm welcome to our Chestnut Class page!

We are a happy and hardworking mixed-age class full of curiosity, kindness, and creativity. From our enthusiastic Year 3s to our fantastic Year 6s, we’re proud to be a class that supports each other, learns together, and always tries our best.

This year is going to be filled with exciting learning, big ideas, laughter, and lots of memorable moments. Whether we’re exploring new topics, challenging ourselves in Maths, diving into great books, or getting creative, we’ll be doing it all with smiles on our faces and a sense of adventure in our hearts. Keep checking this page to see what we’ve been up to!

Learning: Curriculum

For more information about what the children will be learning this year, please see on our overview on the long term plan in the documents at the bottom of the page.  

Homework

In Key Stage 2 we actively encourage students to complete home learning with care and consistency it is set on a Friday 3:20pm and is due in by 9am the following Friday. 

Homework comprises of a set of online tasks: weekly spellings set on Spellingshed and times tables set on TTRockstars. The children will be practicing the timestables that best suits their learning and the number of games required will depend on accuracy and speed.

Your child will have a login sheet that they can use to remember their passwords. Please encourage your child to organise their time themselves. Spelling tests will be done on a Friday.

Being a fluent reader when reading out loud is really important for self-esteem, especially when the children move up to secondary school and need to read aloud in class. Please find time to hear your child read at least three times a week. Reading magazines, newspapers, websites and recipes are also all good sources of reading material as well as much-loved reading books. When you have heard your child read then please sign their reading record.

An optional creative homework is also set in the second week of term and it is due in on the week before the half term. This allows an enthusiastic child to show off what they can do and give an opportunity to share it with their teacher and their classmates in a celebration. Please find this term's copy in the documents below.
