Welcome to Chestnut Class

Hello and welcome to Chestnut Class! I am Miss James, and I will be your new teacher this year. We will also have the wonderful Mrs Clark who is our teaching assistant and will be there to support our learning. We are both really looking forward to welcoming you into our new classroom where we will do some fantastic learning together. We have a very busy term ahead of us and we hope that you are as excited as we are to get started!

There are some things that we need to remember this year:

• PE kit: your full (named) PE kit needs to be in school every day.

• Reading: daily reading at home is strongly encouraged and progress with this will be celebrated in class through the 100 club. Please listen to your child read regularly and record this in the back of their orange Learning Destination (Homework book); please ensure their homework book is sent in every morning.

• Spellings and maths homework will be set on Monday each week and are due in on Friday. Please encourage your children to write sentences with their spelling words.

• The learning destination book can be used for any other home learning that your children wish to do. They will always be rewarded for this.
