Meerkats

Welcome to the Meekats' class page!

Our teachers are Miss Lasance and Mrs Mijatovic. Mrs Nessling is our teaching assistant.


Our P.E day is Friday, remember to come into school in your P.E Kits!

Follow us on our twitter page to see more of our learning...

It is the best way to keep up to date with what the Hedgehogs are learning. There will be lots of photos on our page.

Our question for this term is 'Who has shaken up our world?' 


We are learning all about about historically significant people who

have had a major impact on the world. We will learn to use

timelines, stories and historical sources to find out about the people

featured and use historical models to explore their significance. We will

be learning about people such as Rosa Parks and Neil Armstrong!

Please see the knowledge organiser sent home at the start of Autumn term to see in detail what we are covering.


We have new spellings weekly. We will set these as assigmnents on Spelling Shed for you to practise at home.

Reading is important!

Oxford Owl

Use this website to read books at home on your PC or tablet!

https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/?selLanguage=en&mode=hub

We encourage children to read as much as possible at school, but they should be reading at least 20 minutes a day with someone at home too. Let your child re-read books. Reading the same words over and over again helps to build fluency.

If your child gets stuck on a word, encourage him/her to sound it out. If it is really too tricky, or can’t be sounded out, just supply them with the word and carry on reading.

You could even take turns reading. By listening to your fluent reading, your child will hear what good readers sound like. After you’ve read a short passage, ask your child to read the same passage. This will give him/her the chance to practice reading with expression.

Enjoy this special time together. By doing so, you will encourage a lifelong love of reading.
