Class teachers and TAs: The class teacher is Miss Hall A bit about the class: Learning in Rabbit Class is engaging and purposeful, with lots of opportunities for teamwork, creativity, and independent thinking. Throughout the year, we enjoy exploring exciting topics and taking part in practical, hands-on activities that help bring learning to life, while also supporting children’s social and emotional development.
Each morning, the children complete short activities in their morning books to help refresh their learning. We then move on to Guided Reading and English lessons using exciting books and texts to support reading and writing. We also include regular brain breaks to help children stay focused and ready to learn.
After break, we focus on Maths until lunchtime using the CanDo Maths scheme. Children develop their fluency, reasoning, and problem-solving skills while using key mathematical vocabulary to explain their answers and thinking.
Reading: In Year 4/5, we follow the Reading Explorers scheme during guided reading sessions to develop the children’s comprehension, vocabulary and reading fluency skills. Each week, we explore a new text, exposing the children to a wide range of genres, authors and writing styles throughout the year. Through discussion and carefully planned activities, the children learn how to analyse texts thoroughly, understand key themes and use evidence from the text to support their ideas. Our guided reading lessons help to build confident, thoughtful and enthusiastic readers.
Writing
Each half term, we focus on a new text from the Pathways to Write scheme, exposing the children to a wide range of high-quality books and different writing styles. Through these engaging texts, the children develop their writing skills in Year 4/5 by exploring vocabulary, grammar and a variety of genres, alongside taking part in creative and purposeful writing activities.
In Year 4/5, we follow the Can Do Maths scheme to help develop confidence, resilience and a positive attitude towards mathematics. Our lessons encourage children to think deeply, explain their reasoning and apply their knowledge to a range of mathematical concepts. Where possible, we use practical resources and hands-on activities to support learning, helping children to visualise problems and build a secure understanding. Through engaging and challenging lessons, we encourage all children to develop their fluency, reasoning and problem-solving skills in a fun and supportive environment.
At Grange Primary School, we are very proud of the strong links we have within our local community. Throughout the school year, the children take part in a range of opportunities that help them to learn about our school values and the importance of being positive, respectful members of society.
We work closely with our local police team and enjoy regular visits from Reverend Lisa Knight, who leads assemblies and supports the children’s understanding of community and belonging. Our school choir also enjoys performing within the local community, including visits to care homes and performances for shoppers during special events.
During Careers Week, a variety of visitors come into school to lead engaging practical sessions, inspiring the children and helping them to learn about different careers and future opportunities.
At social times, children are encouraged to take part in a range of organised activities that are planned through a timetable across the week. These activities help to promote teamwork, sharing and taking turns, whilst allowing children to socialise and have fun with their friends. Children also have access to outdoor equipment to keep active and engaged during playtimes. In addition, children can visit Pip’s Corner, a calm indoor space where they have the opportunity to read, colour, construct and relax with their peers in a welcoming environment.
