Osprey Class

Welcome to the Osprey Class page. My name is Miss Robbins, and I have a real passion for art, design and technology, and literacy. I love to make learning, fun, hands-on and engaging across the curriculum.

Spring Term- What Makes the Earth Angry?

This term, we will exploring an exciting new cross-curricular topica called "What makes the Earth angry?" The children will be discovering the physical features of volcanoes and earthquakes through creative, practical and educational activities. They will be encouraged to ask questions, investigate and have lots of fun while learning about the powerful forces that shape our world. 

Please see the Spring term newsletter for more information.

Reading

Moving up to Lower Key Stage 2, it is very important for children to enhance their reading skills. Through regular reading practise they are: being exposed to new vocabulary that they can then apply in their learning, speech and language; developing and applying inference skills; and discussing and explaining different types of books.  

Each time you listen to your child read, please sign their Reading Record. Children who have read three or more times in a week will receive a star on their chart towards a reward. 

Times Tables

Times tables are essential to developing maths fluency in Key Stage 2. Times Tables Rock Stars provides a fun way for children to practise at home. Your child needs to practice on a regular basis to support their maths fluency as well as their confidence during lessons. When the children are in Year 4, they complete a national Times Table Check to assess their fluency/recall. Lets be ready!

Spelling Shed

This is a platform for children to practise their weekly spellings. Each week children will learn a new spelling rule and practise their spellings in school as well as having spelling homework set on EdShed. On Fridays, a spelling test will take place.
