All about me! Miss Gilbert
Hello, I’m Miss Gilbert and I will be teaching Trevithick class this year.
I am really looking forward to the year ahead and we have got lots of exciting trips, visitors, projects and WOW moments lined up for you all. Plus, the much anticipated year 4 residential! Brunel class and Trevithick class will work closely together with our projects and there will be lots of opportunities for collaborative learning linking to our STEAM curriculum.
Here are a few facts about me:
- Favourite colour: Teal
- Favourite animal: Pandas
- Favourite beach: Caerhays
- Favourite book: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
- Favourite subjects: Art and VIPERs (reading)
Fun Fact: I once camped out in London for the new Harry Potter movie premiere and the book launch for Deathly Hallows!
Key Information
English
In English, children will study ‘Empires End’, innovating the text to create their own character description. The children will also create a discussion piece linked to their learning on the Romans.
Maths
We will continue to develop methods to solve problems with fractions before moving on to a new unit on decimals.
PE
Our PE days will be on Monday and Wednesday. We would like children to come into school wearing their kit in order to be ready for the sessions promptly.
Reading and Handwriting
We devote time daily to independent reading and handwriting, as these are vitally important skills which help us across all curriculum areas. Children need to read on a daily basis at home and at school in order to make the most progress.
Homework
Each week, there will be spellings to learn using Spelling Shed. Daily reading and regular practise of times tables using Times Table Rockstars is also part of our homework expectation. There is also a weekly times tables quiz which happens on a Friday alongside our weekly spelling tests.
