Welcome to Meadow Class

My name is Mrs James and I am lucky enough to be the teacher of Year 3 and Year 4.

Meadow class are also privileged to have Mrs Price, Miss Scarlett, Mrs Derrig and Mrs Stevenson providing support and our fabulous governor Gill volunteering on a Wednesday and a Friday.

We are always busy learning new skills, sharing stories, and generally having fun.

We are a very kind and friendly bunch who are always helping each other! 

We love our weekly PE sessions with Mr Otto and our virtual yoga sessions with the incomparable Mrs Mclaughlin! We also participate in a weekly class run and fitness challenge set by our fabulous year 6 fitness ambassadors.

To give you a flavour of some of the  learning that will take place this term, we will be covering Light and Shadows in Science and in Geography, we will be taking a  look at rivers and how they are used! Just keep a look out for Mrs James in her white Science coat or compass! 

Reading for Pleasure

At Kettleshulme St James we LOVE TO READ! Our library is a very special place in our school and it is fully stocked with lots of wonderful books, which are replenished on a regular basis.

We of course have our KS2 READING CHALLENGE as well, which you can read about on our 'Reading' tab.

Our new class novel this term will be Pugs of the Frozen North - a fantastically funny book about 66 pugs shipwrecked on the edge of the Arctic! 

As a school we continue to promote reading for pleasure and so that you can access the most up-to-date reading lists available for Year 3 and Year 4 I have included two links to the website 'The Reading Teacher' below. In class, we will be sharing a number of texts each term.
