My name is Miia Lees and I am the Ingmar Class teacher. I am in charge of the English and RE curriculums in our school. I am passionate about reading and love to share books in class and assemblies.
In Ingmar class, the pupils start the morning with FFT’s Jungle Spelling Club, learning about spelling patterns. After that we have English, focusing on a class text. Our English lessons consist of reading, comprehension, grammar and writing. In maths, we follow White Rose scheme. In the afternoons, we study history, geography, science as well as art, PE, music, PSHE and HappyMinds. (Our PE days are Wednesday and Thursday.)
This term we are enjoying learning about the Tudor England focusing on the monarchs, Tudor life and the religion. We are also learning how to be a historian, looking at primary and secondary sources. In English we are learning about William Shakespeare. We have chosen to read the tragedy, King Lear, which enabled us to have many interesting discussions.
