Welcome to Wizards' Class Page!
Mr Kelly is the class teacher and is supported by Mrs Meredith, Mrs Gibson, Mrs Pople And Mrs Palmer in class.

Please see below for more information about what we have been learning this term and what you can do at home as well.
Reading Books: Should be read at least three times a week. Books will be changed on Tuesdays and Fridays. Wizards should reread the same book to aid them in their reading fluency. Please ensure your child has their yellow dairies and home reading books in school everyday. Wizards will also receive a Accelerated Reader (AR) book with a number on its spine. These books should also be read at home and then do a quiz to see what you can remember, the link to AR is below.
Spellings: Sent home on Fridays for our Super Spelling Test on Thursdays.
Mathletics: Tasks will be set regularly and Wizards should aim to gain 1000 points every week, to earn a certificate in assembly.
Times Tables: We will be learning our times tables this year, focusing on our 2s, 5s and 10s. There are times tables songs on Mathletics but you can also go on Times Tables Rockstars and practise your times tables against the clock.
PE: PE kits should be in school daily, Wizards will normally take part in PE sessions on a Thursday afternoon.

After learning so much about meerkats from Sunny and his family, we learned a Fact File about meerkats. Wizards used the structure of this report to write their own Fact File about an animal of their own choice.
For British Nature Day and Science Week, Wizards learned about British trees, how to identify them and different seeds they produce.
Wizards received a postcard from Sunny the meerkat in Kalahari desert, they have been working on the responses to him telling him all about where they live.
