All about me! Miss Gilbert
Hello, I’m Miss Gilbert and I will be teaching Trevithick class this year.
I am really looking forward to the year ahead and we have got lots of exciting trips, visitors, projects and WOW moments lined up for you all. Plus, the much anticipated year 4 residential! Brunel class and Trevithick class will work closely together with our projects and there will be lots of opportunities for collaborative learning linking to our STEAM curriculum.
Here are a few facts about me:
- Favourite colour: Teal
- Favourite animal: Pandas
- Favourite beach: Caerhays
- Favourite book: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
- Favourite subjects: Art and VIPERs (reading)
Fun Fact: I once camped out in London for the new Harry Potter movie premiere and the book launch for Deathly Hallows!
Key Information
English
In English, children will study ‘The Wind in the Willows’, innovating the text to create their own character description. The children will also create a newspaper report linked to their learning on the environment.
Maths
We will continue to develop methods to solve multiplication and division problems whilst also improving our fluency in times tables. Children will also learn about
length and perimeter.
PE
Our PE days will be on Monday and Wednesday. We would like children to bring their PE kit in, ready to change at school.
Reading and Handwriting
We devote time daily to independent reading and handwriting, as these are vitally important skills which help us across all curriculum areas. Children need to read on a daily basis at home and at school in order to make the most progress.
Homework
Each week, there will be spellings to learn using Spelling Shed. Daily reading and regular practise of times tables using Times Table Rockstars is also part of our homework expectation. Optional homework activities can be found in the grid below. There is also a weekly times tables quiz which happens on a Friday.
