Water Class

Water Class are the Year 3 and 4 class at Cowick. Our teacher is Miss Montgomery and Mrs Jasnikowski is our teaching assistant. We all strive to follow our Hive Five school rules so that we can have a hardworking classroom that we all enjoy working in.

Water Class 2021-22

At Cowick we like to make our Curriculum fun and inspiring for the children. We use a theme to link in most of our lessons. Spring Term our topic will be ‘Egyptians vs. The Stone Age’. We shall be learning about the different periods of time and making comparisons between them.

Homework

In Water Class the children will be expected to complete work at home, which will aid them in their learning. Each week, children will be expected to read regularly (4X per week if possible or more!) they will also be sent home spellings each week.

Spellings

Children in Water Class will be learning two sets of spellings each week. One of the sets will be from the children's year groups expected spelling list and another list we shall focus on in school, which will follow different spelling rules and patterns. The children will be tested on the lists sent home each Monday in a traditional spelling test and new spellings will be issued. The children have the opportunity to earn themselves tokens for successfully learning these.

Reading

Children are also expected to read regularly at home. The children will receive a pack of books from school on a weekly basis. We ask you to listen to your child read on a regular basis. We shall collect the pack of books in on a Monday to change them. I want to promote the love of reading to the children so please encourage children to read books, magazines, online articles or even comics that they love as this will help to broaden their reading skills in school to develop their love for reading.

Times Tables

During the summer term of Year 4 the children will complete a multiplication tables test set by the Standards and Testing Agency. Children are expected to know their times tables up to 12 X 12. At Cowick our children have access to Times Table Rockstars and IXL as online learning platforms that will help the children learn and practice their tables. Logins have been sent home, if you cannot find it or need a reminder please do not hesitate to contact Miss Montgomery. Multiplication Tables Test Information

During the Autumn term Water Class PE days will be Wednesday and Friday. On Wednesday they will be doing PE with our school PE coach Mr Nichols and on Friday the children will be doing Dance.

If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to make an appointment to come in and see myself. I hope you and your child have a fun filled and enjoyable school year.

Thank you for your support.

Miss Montgomery
