Welcome to our class page.  We hope you will find it useful and it will let you know what we are currently learning about in school.

Teacher bio:

Hello. I'm Mrs Worn and this is my fourth year teaching at The Pines. I live locally with my husband and two daughters, one who also attends The Pines. As a family we love being outdoors, we spend time going for walks, cycling and visiting the beach. I am very lucky to own a campervan and enjoy getting away on adventures as often as we can. I have a real passion for reading and love to read out loud to my classes, I really hope that reading is something that the children will embrace this year.

Class Routines:

Our main classroom door is the first door on the right in the courtyard. If children have consent to bring a mobile phone and need it to walk to and from school, they will need to hand it in to the adult greeting them each morning and this will be given back at the end of the school day.

Our regular P.E lessons will be on Monday and Friday afternoons. Children should come to school wearing P.E kit on both of those days.  

Current Learning

This term, we will be finishing our curriculum learning about how war impacted the lives of children in Europe and across the world, with a focus on World War Two. Our work will help us to answer the question: Does adversity make us stronger? For the full details of this unit, have a look at our Knowledge Organiser below. 

Our class novel is: Orphans of the tide.

At the moment, we are particularly focusing on the following:

English: Learning to write a balanced argument and developing our persuasive writing with writing a persuasive speech. We will also develop our narrative and report writing skills from autumn later this term.

Maths: Children will be developing the number skills that they learned in autumn two and develop fluency and reasoning further.

Science: We will be learning about Evolution and Inheritance.

History: Learning about the impact of WW2 on children.

Geography: After half term we will be moving into our Arrival and Departures unit, learning about the countries part of the Windrush generation.

PE: Dance and hockey. The weather may mean that the Gym is used for PE lessons, children will be expected to take their shoes and socks off. They may wear grip socks if preferred.
