Amethyst Class 2024 - 2025
Miss Rochell - Gill
Year 4/5 Teacher
Maths and Geography Lead
Welcome to Amethyst Class!
I have been incredibly impressed with how well the children have embraced the changes of our class and settled in to new routines and friendships.
This half term is a super busy one filled with lots of exciting new learning and of course the countdown to the festive period!
Please note: this half term, our PE slot will take place on FRIDAY with a forest school session on MONDAY. Children need to be appriopriately dressed for forest school, including a change of socks for when the wet weather sets in.
My PPA will be covered by Mrs Tomlinson on a Monday morning and she will cover, Maths including arithmetic skills and Forest School with Mr Weston.
We are also very fortunate to be joined by Mr Richards. He will be working with small groups of you in our maths lessons across the week!
You can follow our learning journey via our school twitter account @LittleLeighSch and our facebook page, where I will post updates and pictures.
If you need to discuss anything with me, please don't hesitate to contact me on my school email rrochellgill@littleleighprimary.cheshire.sch.uk.

This half term in Geography we will be answering the question...
'How does global trade impact the world?'
Within this unit of work we will develop our geographical and analytical skills whilst building on knowledge from previous year groups.
Within our unit we will aim to learn:
What is global trade?
What does the UK import and export?
Where do we get most of our food from?
What is it like to work in a factory?
How do goods travel?
What is ethical trade?
As Writers...
|
Our writing will focus around the beautiful book 'The Lost Happy Endings' written by Carol Ann Duffy.
'If it were not for Jub there would be no happy endings, none at all. But one night, on her way to make sure that every story told in the world ends well, Jub is caught by a wicked witch who steals all the happy endings. In the best tradition of fairytales, everything works out well in this wonderful inventive story by Carol Ann Duffy, gloriously illustrated by Jane Ray.'
Our outcome will be to re-tell the story with an alternative ending or character. |

Our Shared reading lessons this half term will focus on the 'The Train to Impossible places' by P.G Bell.
Suzy is surprised to find a grumpy troll building a railway through her house - especially when a gigantic steam train crashes into her hallway! This is the Impossible Postal Express, the trusty delivery service of the Union of Impossible Places, and Suzy becomes its newest recruit. And with her cursed first package, an Impossible adventure begins.
