St Therese's Class
Welcome to an insight into St Therese class, where we cherish every day to learn and love!
Our main class teacher is: Mrs Wraithmell and Mr Farmer on Friday.
Our teaching assistant is: Mrs Valentine (am).
Every half term, our learning is shared through our newsletters:Class charity
Our class charity is The St Vincent de Paul Society (The SVP). We chose the SVP society because we it was important to us to support our local community as well as people in other parts of England and the world. The SVP help to support projects to help the vulnerable people, they visit the lonely and much more.
Two members of The local SVP society - Mrs Massie and Mrs Rudd - visited us. They told us about all the work that they did and about founder of The SVP society.
Everyone is welcome
School Council
Our school council representatives were elected at the start of the year in our class elections.
They have taken the ideas and views of the children in St Therese class to the school council meetings.
Through our learning, we understand the importance of how everyone is unique and special. We learn to respect and love one another through our inclusive days (including Anti-Bullying Day, Dyslexia Day and Autism Awareness Day).
Our class virtue simplicity
At the beginning of the year, we were chosen, as a class, to represent the virtue of simplicity.
We talked about all the things in our lives that were our real treasures.
Beyond the classroom
In our class, we’ve enjoyed a wide range of experiences this year to help us develop our love of learning.
In Autumn 2, we visited the Yorkshire Museum. This was linked to our History Topic of 'The Vikings'. The children enjoyed a range of activities including holding some artefacts that have been discovered in York.
Engaging with our learning
During the Autumn term, we were really lucky to have our music lessons with a teacher called Mr Bunt. He taught us scales to follow in our singing then we learnt how to play an instrument called a melodica. It is similar to a keyboard but needs air blowing into it to produce the music.
Across the curriculum, our minds are filled with wonderful knowledge especially with the help of our exciting and fun lessons.
