As role models for younger children, Redwoods take their whole school responsibilities seriously; they are expected to model excellent behaviour, a positive attitude towards school and learning, and take pride in their work at all times.
Learning in Redwoods is engaging and challenging. Redwoods children are exposed to a variety of teaching styles which ensure all children are excited and enthused in their learning, make the maximum possible progress while also developing independence.
Mr Abraham teaches Redwoods.
PE lessons are every Monday with Mr Abraham and Wednesdays with Mr Tanner (PE teacher).
Please ensure that PE kit is worn to school on these days.
Homework is designed to encourage independence. Our expectations are as follows:
- Reading on a daily basis (minimum of 15 minutes per day)
- Spellings taken from the Y5/6 and/or Y3/4 list (follow links below)
- Times Tables practice - this should include at least 15 x 1 minute sessions on TT Rock Stars (children all have their unique user ID and password which can be used to access from home)
- Project learning themed around our termly topic where the children will be able to choose from a range of activities designed to take their learning out of the classroom.
Redwoods Weekly Update - 3rd May
Dear parents,
Another busy week in the Redwoods class! Our SATs-taking students have been busy practising for the upcoming tests, while everybody else has been learning about features of a non-chronological report including glossaries and fact-boxes as we continue to read Inside The Villains. In maths, we have been learning about how to use line graphs and tables to handle and analyse statistics.
In topic, we learned about the professions of modern-day Maya, and in science we learned about the effects of air resistance and how it can be used to help us. We are also having great fun with our P.E. unit on Ultimate Frisbee with some exciting sessions in the cricket field with the Sycamores class!
Well done to our star of the week, Maja, who has shown fantastic teamwork and collaboration by helping her classmates and deepening her own understanding in the process.
Have a lovely weekend!
Mr. Abraham
