Pine
Welcome to Pine Class. We have 36 pupils. Our teacher is Mr Carter and our teaching assistants are Mrs Clark, Mrs Anderson and Miss Davy.
This term our topic is 'Ancient Greece', we will find out who the Ancient Greek people were, when they lived and where and how they were able to establish their empire. We will learn about and order events from the Battle of Marathon. In addition to this, we will learn about Ancient Greek religion, research information about a variety of Greek gods and write our own Greek myths.
Our PE days are Wednesday and Friday. We work with Commando Joe on a Thursday. Children should wear their PE kit on these days.
In Pine Class we are particularly focusing on:
ALL marking responded to
No OK as a response
Sensible faces (as part of pupil self-assessment)
Success criteria written
Correct letter formation and joined handwriting
Starting writing at the margin
Writing on the line
Spellings copied correctly
Capital letters
Full stops, Exclamation marks, Question marks
Their, there, they're used correctly
To and too used correctly
No doodling or scribbling
No rubbing out
DUM TUMS (Date, underline, miss a line, title, underline, miss a line, success criteria)
We all have been involved in a dialogue about the high expectations we have of all pupils. Effective feedback involves a dialogue to identify what has been done well and the next steps to learning. Pupils are regularly given verbal feedback about their work and areas to work on. Where appropriate, we use pink highlighting to identify where we are 'Tickled Pink' that the Success Criteria (expectations set out at the start of the lesson) have been achieved. Green highlighting identifies a next step (Green for Growth). Children are also encouraged to self-edit and correct or improve something using their purple polish pen. For more information, please do ask your child, read our policy on the school website or speak to us.
