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 05/10/2026
Monday

We will be learning 'h' today! Our tricky word this week is the very important 'the'. Keep practising 'is' and 'I'! 

In maths, we are thinking about comparison and 'more than' and 'fewer than'. In PE we will be going to the shops and learning about taking turns.

Tuesday

Letter 'b' today, and in maths, we are continuing to practice our comparison skills. In this week's PSHE lesson, we will be thinking about what job we might like to do when we are older, and what we still need to learn to be able to do that.

Wednesday

Mrs Bird will be teaching today. Phonics (letter 'f' today!) and maths in the morning, thinking about 'longer' and 'shorter' than. In the afternoon, there will be another fun-filled Forest School.

Thursday 

Last new grapheme for this half-term! Today, we will be learning letter 'l' for lollipop. In maths, we will be comparing 'heavier' and 'lighter' than. In the afternoon we will be doing some more brave writing using pictures or memorabilia you have shared, and pictures from our fun play in the classroom.

Friday

 This will be followed by our phonics and maths review sessions. We will then be doing lots of strong-hand work, enjoying our reading groups, and a music lesson in the afternoon.
