Sycamore
Welcome to Sycamore Class' information and blog page. Here you will find general class information and see what we have been up to in our learning 
| Class teacher | Mrs Waddell |
| Support staff | Phase TAs will support in the class throughout the week |
| PE days | PE will be on a Monday and a Wednesday. Please make sure your child has a PE Kit in school. This needs to simply be a pair of black or navy shorts, a plain white t-shirt and a pair of pumps or trainers for going outside. Black or navy zipped hoodies can also be worn in cold weather. Children can wear their school kit all day on PE days if they wish - please note they are not permitted to wear other sports clothes. |
| Homework | Homework will be set on Google Classrooms. Your child will be sent a homework grid via the school app that has a variety of English, Maths and Topic activities on it for them to complete. They choose to do at least one activity each week (although they can do more!) Your child's username and password will be stuck in their Reading Record Book. Their homework needs to be submitted by Thursday, as I will look at it before Friday and send a certificate home to those children who have completed homework. |
| Reading and Times Tables | Our school expectation is that your child reads at least three times a week at home to an adult. This needs to be recorded in your child's reading record and signed by an adult. This record needs to be brought into school every day. We will check this on a Friday and children achieve a reading sticker on their bookmark. Once their bookmark is full they will receive a brand new book to keep as a prize :) If your child needs to change their reading book, they can change it on any day when they go to their Read Write Inc group.
Your child will also have access and passwords to Times Table Rockstars and Purple Mash. Their usernames and passwords will be put in their Reading Record Books as soon as we have them all. |
| Contact us | If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to speak to us. You can catch us most mornings before school or wait to speak to us after the children have been released to Parents/carers at home time. Or you can contact us via our class email address: sycamore@newmoston.manchester.sch.uk |
We are really looking forward to starting a new school year with you in Sycamore class. We know that some of you might be feeling a little nervous but that's ok - we all are. We can all help each other by being kind and helpful and trying to come into school each day with a smile to share with each other.
