Pippins Class

Our Teachers

Mrs Fenton and Mrs Bird are the class teachers, and Mr Ryan will be working with us in the classroom.

Week Beginning 02/11/2026
Monday

Welcome back everyone!

We will start the week by learning some new digraphs; 'ff' today, and tricky word 'put'– it's a new tricky word most days now, so I will send them home once a week for you to practise together.

In maths this week, we will be thinking more about counting, and some of the things we can use to help us see numbers with our 'fast eyes'.

A reminder to send your child in wearing their PE kit from now on. In PE today, we will be going on safari! We will be practising how to stop safely when running.

Tuesday

Reading groups today, so please make sure we have all books in plastic folders. In phonics, we will be learning the digraph 'll', and the tricky word 'pull'.

It is now RE on a Tuesday afternoon, and this week we will be thinking about Christianity and what some Christians believe.

Wednesday

Mrs Bird will be teaching today. We will be learning the digraph 'ss', and the tricky word 'full'. In the afternoon, there will be another fun-filled Forest School!

Please send your child in wearing their PE kit on Forest School days now. As the weather gets wetter and colder, we find PE kit is more comfortable to wear under the waterproof clothing we provide.

Thursday 

Today, we will be learning the new grapheme 'j' and the tricky words 'as'.

In the afternoon we will be thinking about our new topic all about Autumn, and doing some brave writing.

Friday

On strong hand Friday this week, we will be doing lot's of fun things to help strengthen our hands. In music we will be learning a new song called 'Our Big Band'.
