Lime Class: Key Information

 

PE

Our PE days are Tuesdays and Fridays and children are expected to take part in all PE lessons. They should come to school in the correct PE kit on these days. 

Water Bottles

Please make sure your child comes to school with a named water bottle. 

Homework

At Bartons, we believe that education is a life-long process.  A child’s education does not cease when they leave our school premises; learning at home is an essential part of good education.

Home Learning is any work or activity completed outside lesson time, either alone, with parents, or others. Home Learning makes an important contribution to progress at school. It is used to enhance and support the pupils’ learning within school and also to prepare them for secondary school.

For Lime Class, homework will be set via Seesaw on a Thursday and unless specified, will be due in the following Wednesday. Your child should upload their homework to Seesaw by this day. Additionally, Children are expected to read either to an adult at home or to themselves for at least 15 minutes a day. Their reading record should be signed every time they read so that we can keep track at school. If your child reads competently to themselves, ask them some questions about the book so that you can see if they have understood what they have read. Discussing different texts with your children will help them to develop their own love of reading.

It is also expected that every member of Lime Class carries out one of the following homework activities per half-term:

Working With Others (WWO)
 
During our first week in Lime Class, we carried out a number of WWO activities. The skills required to carry out these activities equip the children with the necessary social skills to work together which enhances their well-being and ability to learn in the classroom. 
 
The children in Lime Class worked brilliantly together and managed to solve every problem that they faced!
Maths Investigation Day
 
During our Maths Investigation Day, Lime Class explored the fascinating world of Roman numerals. The children discovered how numbers were written in ancient Rome and compared them to our modern number system. Through puzzles, problem-solving activities and creative challenges, they learned to read, write, and use Roman numerals in fun and practical ways. The day not only strengthened their mathematical thinking but also gave them a glimpse into history, showing how maths connects across time and cultures.
