Brierley Class

Welcome to Brierley Class

Hello and welcome to our web page.

We are a class made up of Year 3 and Year 4 children.
The teachers who work in our class are Mr Ward and Mrs Thompson
          
In the mornings, the children are separated into their year groups for Guided Reading, Spellings and Maths.  We come back together for Literacy and for all our lessons in the afternoon, other than Science which is taught in year groups.
This is what our time table look like on a normal week:
 

Literacy
Click on the picture below to download the 'Capital letters and full stops' worksheet.
You can choose whether to complete the 1 star or 2 star activity, identifying where capital letters and full stops have wrongly been put into sentences. Can you write out the sentences again, putting them in the correct places?


Maths
Learn, Revise and become confident with the 10 times table. Click on the link below to learn the 10x table by joining in with the reggae style song with Todd and Ziggy. 

Your parental support is vital to your child’s progress and education. Please support us by:

- Encouraging your child to complete and return homework on time and giving support where appropriate.
- Reading regularly at home with your child. Even as little as just 5 minutes daily, can help to improve your child's reading ability

- Letting us know if your child will be going home with someone else.

- Ensuring that your child brings the correct items to school each day, including their reading diary, spelling book and P.E kit.
 

Please note:

• Our PE lessons take place on Monday afternoons and Friday afternoons
• Spelling tests will take place on Thursday mornings
• Homework will be set on a Thursday to be completed by the following Thursday
