Class 4 (Y1)

Welcome to Class 4's page!

♦ ATTENDANCE ♦

It is extremely important that your child attends school every day so they do not miss any learning. We aim for 95% and above and if we achieve this as a class we get an attendance party!

Every day the children will be given a dojo if they are at school on time in the morning and in the afternoon. 

 

If you have any questions or queries  then please do not hesitate to message me through Class Dojo. I will try to get back to you as quickly as possible. 

 

PE 

Class 4 will have PE twice a week. Our PE days are Tuesday and Wednesday. Children will need to bring their PE kit to school in a bag with their name clearly labelled. Children are expected to come to school on PE days in their full school uniform and will change in school for PE. Children will need black pumps, a white t-shirt and dark joggers/shorts. PE kits can also be purchased from the school office.

 

Reading

Every child will receive a reading book and diary, please try to read with your child as much as possible (at least 3 times a week) and sign your child's diary when they have read. Every read counts towards our rapid reading rewards. 20 reads = bronze badge and certificate, 45 reads - silver badge and certificate and 65 reads = gold badge and certificate. If your child receives a gold badge for each term they will receive a book voucher at the end of the year! Children will need to bring in their reading book and bag everyday.

 

Rewards

In class we will be using class dojo to reward good behaviour, children can be awarded dojos for being helpful, working hard, doing their homework and following Harwood Parks core values. When the children reach 50, 100 and 150 dojos they will receive a prize! We also use class points for whole class rewards, the class which has the most each week will receive extra playtime.

 

Celebration Assembly 

On Fridays, we will have a special assembly where children receive certificates for attendance, core values and learning.

 

Homework 

Children are expected to read daily as part of their homework. Books will be given out to children matching their phonics level and will be changed once we have finished working on the book during our phonics lessons. Please sign your child's reading record when they have read at home. We will also give out homework throughout the year to help support your child in their learning. 

 

School uniform

Please make sure your child has the correct, full school uniform labelled clearly. Please can each child bring in their own named water bottle that they can keep in the classroom.
