Welcome to Amethyst's class page.

Welcome to our class page. Everything you need to know about our curriculum, PE days, homework and important dates can be found here. 

Amethyst class will be taught by Miss Clarke and supported by Mrs Ciurba. On Wednesday, Mrs Middleton will be teaching. 

Homework

We would like to request your support in continuing your child's learning at home through weekly homework. Homework will be set each Thursday and will be due back the following Thursday.

* Maths and English homework will be completed through the online learning platform called 'Atom'. Children's log in details are on the back of their new Learning Logs.

* Children will also be expected to read five times a week for a minimum of 15 minutes. Please ensure to sign your child's Learning Log as these will be checked daily by adults in the classroom. 

* Children will be provided with weekly spelling lists which will link to their in-class spelling lessons. Spelling tests will take place on a Thursday.

* Once the children are settled into their new routine, we will begin to set TT Rockstar competitions, which will also be accessible online. 

PE Days

Amethyst’s PE days will be Tuesday and Wednesday. Please ensure children come into school with suitable clothing for the weather on that day. At least one of the PE sessions will be outside, even when it is cold!
