Welcome to Team Calder!

Our Class Team

A day in the life of Team Calder

Every morning, children have 15 minutes to complete our morning learning task that starts at 8.45 a.m. We then take part in Daily Exercise and a class Check-in, where we share our feelings for the day.  Across the morning, we usually complete Guided Reading, English, and Maths, where children share ideas, challenge their peers, and engage in wonderful learning tasks. After lunch, children enjoy some time to read for pleasure, take part in a quick-fire maths activity, and get lost in a daily class story. Our afternoons are then spent embracing our Creative Curriculum.

In year 5, our PE days are Thursdays and Fridays.

Children can come to school in their school PE kit. Please ensure that PE kit is plain black or blue bottoms and jumper, a white t-shirt and does not have logos on.  Please can earrings be taped or taken out on the days your child has PE.
