Welcome to Green Class!

Years 3 and 4 are taught in Green Class by Miss Elizabeth Howse. They are also really lucky to have three teaching assistants to help out in the classroom; Xamantha Seeman, Sharon Dombey and Jo Clegg.

All the children in Green Class are very responsible and pride themselves on keeping our classroom in order. Each child has a job which they are in charge of. These include: computer monitors, table points counters, cloakroom and lost property monitors, PE monitors and even a Miss Howse’s desk tidier!

Green Class has also had time to produce some excellent and exciting pieces of writing so far this year. They have set stories in Anglo-Saxon times using actual historical facts to add interesting and accurate details. They have also been busy recounting an extraordinary and terrifying weekend when the elephant from the Maharajah’s Well came alive and caused havoc around the village… apparently.

Green Class has continued to ensure that as an ‘Eco-School’ we are doing what we can to care for and protect our environment. They are following an Action Plan based on past surveys and they take their monitoring of our energy consumption and use of resources very seriously – especially paper towels!

Green Class also enjoy learning outside the classroom, and on a snowy day in February we visited the University of Oxford Botanical Garden where we learnt about plants that eat insects and plants that can be used to make our clothes. We also hugged some trees and found out which plants like it cold and which ones like it hot. We also took the Waste Free Lunch Challenge. The aim is to have lunch whilst creating as little rubbish as possible. We tried to recycle, compost and reuse as many items in our packed lunches as possible.

Come in and see us in Green Class, we would love to show you what we have been learning about!
