Welcome to Penguins Class!

Important Reminders
PE
- Our PE days will be Monday and Thursday. Children are expected to come to school in their NORMAL UNIFORM and they will get changed in school for PE lessons.
PE kit is a plain white t-shirt, black shorts and trainers. Long trousers and a hoodie/jacket is strongly advised as the weather gets colder. Also, jewelry is not permitted during PE and all long hair should be tied up.
Learning at home
-Homework
A homework task will be given out on a Friday but is expected to be handed in by the following Wednesday to allow time for their work to be looked at. This homework task will alternate between a maths, English or topic based task.
- TT Rockstars at least 3 times per week (at least 10 minutes each time).
This is extremely important in improving their times tables knowledge and great practice for the national times table test that every year 4 will be taking in the Summer term.
The website to access this is: https://ttrockstars.com/
Children should be aware of their logins for this - if unsure please contact the class teacher.
- Reading at least 3 times per week.
We use 'Accelerated Reader' where the children read their book and then quiz online. If children finish their books at home, they can access the quiz by following the link below. Children will then be given the opportunity to change their books the next day in school.
Username - The first letter of your child's first name, followed by the first 4 letters of their surname (no spaces).
Password - abc
If you have any questions please contact me via Class Dojo or email: teacher.penguins@ranelaghprimary.net
