As a class teacher I try to enable the children to develop their own ideas and solutions through challenging questions; open ended tasks and providing them with opportunities to work in different ways.  The children do enjoy a challenge and this is catered for in lessons where thinking skills are developed and children are encouraged to explain how they worked things out. We often have ‘light bulb moments!’

The children in Class 3 enjoy a curriculum which is planned to include all subject areas based on a termly theme.

I take account of the different learning styles – some children learn better by seeing things, some by hearing it and some by a ‘hands on ‘ approach.  We have also introduced ‘big writing’ this year.  Caitlin loved writing the Christmas story to the Christmas tree lights with music playing in the background. ‘Everyone was quiet and calm.’  The children attend several after school clubs including lacrosse, cheerleading, multi-skills, tennis, golf, tag rugby and ballroom dancing.

I believe inviting members of the learning community into school is beneficial to all.  We welcome visitors to our class including one grandma, a reading mentor from the Church and mums that enjoy cooking: as part of our Aztec topic Lucy’s mum has volunteered to cook Mexican food because she used to work in a Mexican restaurant.  Chloe’s mum baked Tudor biscuits using a traditional Tudor recipe in the autumn term. 

As an International school we have International open days and all our children (even 4 year olds) learn a foreign language.  We are busily practising for our class assembly. It is called ‘Le Voyage de Monsieur Gumpy’ and we are going to perform it entirely in French. 

This is yet another example of how hardworking and enthusiastic the children are in Class 3.
