Welcome to Smart Zone.

Hello and welcome to Smart Zone class 2024/2025!

The children of Smart Zone class are now in LKS2 and what an incredibly interesting journey they have had over the last couple of years! Our children have already shown an amazing level of resilience and have been extremely flexible in adapting to new learning challenges throughout the past years, and we cannot wait to see the fantastic things that they achieve in the coming year.
Our Autumn Topic is all about ‘The Stone Age’.

Reading

Reading is a lifelong skill that we try to develop as your child continues their journey through our school. We are keen to develop a love of books and escapism as early as possible, which is why we are introducing ‘Accelerator Reader’ this year. We would greatly appreciate your support with this new initiative, not only by listening to your child read but by perhaps sharing some of your favourite books from your childhood with them too.

Guided Reading

This term’s class reader is ‘The Firework Maker’s Daughter’ written by Philip Pullman.

Lila knows what she wants: she doesn’t just want to be a Firework-Maker’s Daughter; she dreams of being a Firework-Maker herself! To discover the final firework-making secret, Lila must bravely head off alone on a journey – a journey filled with dangers beyond anything she could have imagined…

Spellings

Spellings to learn at home will be sent out on Mondays and the children will be tested on the Friday of the same week. At year 4, pupils must be able to spell the Y1/2 words and the majority of the Y3/4 words to be awarded ‘Working At’ Age Related Expectations.  Working on these at home will really support the work we are doing in school. A copy of these can be found below.

P.E.

Our PE days our Wednesday and Thursday. Please send your child to school in their PE kits on these days.
