Boyce Class Updates

During December, Boyce Class had the pleasure of taking part in a Drumming Samba Workshop. We thoroughly enjoyed this and wanted to share some photos with you. 

This term (Autumn two), we are reading Viking Boy by Tony Bradman. 

During creativity week at St Michael's, Boyce Class wrote poems about the Somerset Levels. Some of these are on display, however, below is a selection for you to read. We hope you enjoy them! 

Here is our class display. We hope you like it. 

During Author Week, Boyce class learnt more about Frank Cottrell Boyce and how he found a passion for writing. We studied his book 'The Unforgotten Coat' and wrote biographies about our author. 

In Boyce class, we have started reading 'Boy in the Tower'. This is our focus text for Autumn one.

As part of our commitment to fostering a love of learning, we have set some clear homework expectations. Each week, Maths homework will be assigned on a Monday and is due back by Friday. We also encourage children to play Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS) three times weekly to boost their skills. Daily reading, either independently or with a parent, is essential for developing literacy. Additionally, spellings will be sent home every Monday, with a test taking place on Friday. The more engaged your child is with home-learning, the greater progress they will make throughout the year. Your support is invaluable to their success!

On Tuesdays, all children partake in PE. Please ensure they wear the correct kit (plain white t-shirt, black shorts or joggers) and trainers. Don’t forget a water bottle!
