God wants me to be the best me I can be.

Welcome to Penguins Class.

Key Information for Penguins Class

In Penguins Class our teacher is called Mrs Sanderson and we are supported by Ms Perkins, Mrs Barry and Miss Clawson.

Our PE days are Monday and Friday and children must bring their PE kits to school (white t-shirt, dark shorts and black pumps - tracksuit bottoms and jackets can be worn in Winter). Year 4 go to Marl Pitts swimming pool every Monday for PE so need a swimming kit every Monday. 

Homework will be in the form of a grid with different activities that children can choose to complete throughout the half term- this is their responsibility.  The children will also be responsible for practising their times tables as well as reading regularly.  Reading books can be changed when needed and the children can complete the progress quizzes in class. Children have a reading record that needs to be in school every day.
