Class 4
28 November 2025
Mia: has transformed her attitude to learning this week, which has made me feel extremely proud. She has listened carefully, offered answers to questions when asked - across a variety of different subjects - and worked hard on her task during each lesson. Her effort in our English writing lessons has been particularly noticeable. I have been delighted to see her enthused about her writing, including all lesson objectives, sharing her writing with the class and feeling rightly proud of her achievements!
Julia: has made phenomenal progress in her handwriting this week. She has been using highlighted paper to help her become more precise and consistent about the size and positioning of her writing. Julia has really risen to the challenge and produced beautiful joined, cursive handwriting which she is now using in all subjects across the curriculum.

George: This young man has made wonderful progress in his reading and writing during his time in Class 4. When writing, he has wonderful ideas and can order the words in a sentence once they have been written for him. Just recently, he has grown in confidence when writing or typing words and can even spot when he has made a mistake – making his own corrections! George reads each week and quickly becomes fluent. He now remembers to use punctuation in the books to ensure his sentences flow. George has a love of stories and will stop everything he is doing to come and listen. Finally, it is important to note how kind and caring he is towards his teacher - he is a pleasure to teach! Well done George, we are very proud of you!

Charlie: continues to make phenomenal progress in reading. I would describe him as someone who has a love of reading. Not only can he read fluently, but he also loves to read stories and find out interesting facts from non-fiction books. His latest Star Reader assessment shows that he has the reading age of a 10-year-old - what a phenomenal achievement! He has already begun to see some success in terms of his next challenge - writing. We cannot wait to see how he transforms in this area as the weeks progress!
Catherine: could be chosen to be star every week of the year! Her behaviour, attitude to learning and her caring nature make her a wonderful member of the class. She has the maturity to enquire after the well-being of her teachers and is a good friend to all. Catherine takes her learning seriously and is always ready to learn. She produces beautiful, thoughtful responses to tasks in every lesson across the curriculum - always trying her best. What more could I ask for!

Daisy: has stood out this week for the way she has tried her best in every single area of the curriculum. She has been enthusiastic in her learning and taken on board many new ideas. Daisy has not given up when she has found things difficult. In maths, we have been subtracting four-digit numbers with more than one exchange using the column method. This has proved tricky at times but she has not given up. She has listened to advice and become much more accurate as the week has progressed. Well done Daisy, you have worked very hard and have had a wonderful attitude to your learning.
David: has returned to school ready for his learning. I have been impressed with his willingness to answer questions this week. David has also caught my eye for his assessment work in science. The children have been completing a task showing me what they can remember about our first unit of learning about teeth and the human digestive system. His method of recording his learning, along with the details he provided, were fantastic. Well done David!

Maks: has had a fantastic week this week. On Tuesday at swimming he demonstrated outstanding knowledge about water safety when answering the swimming instructors questions. He skillfully demonstrated his understanding when in the water too. During PSHE Maks listened carefully and gave thoughtful responses during a lesson all about effective teamwork. Again, the quality of his work during this lesson clearly demonstrated the depth of his understanding.
Eliza: has amazed me since the start of term in the area of writing. During the first half term we have written newspaper reports and non-chronological reports. No matter what the genre, Eliza skillfully weaves in our learning objective whilst still carefully considering the purposes of the writing and the needs of the reader. Her personality shines through in her writing. Eliza has shown her growth in this area by accepting verbal feedback and editing her writing to refine meaning.

Daisy B: has made an enormous amount of progress during her time at St Anne's school. Not only has she become more confident socially, but she has also developed a love of learning which is truly wonderful to see. Her levels of engagement for her classroom learning are nothing short of phenomenal. She listens carefully and eagerly takes notes during many of our lessons, which she regularly refers back to on a weekly basis. Today, I would like to celebrate Daisy's writing. Her writing style, over the two genres we have covered, carefully considers the reader. Her sentence choices are engaging, ensuring that they hook you in. Her ideas are often 'magpied' by other children in the class or used to demonstrate how to use grammatical features such as fronted adverbials. The start of her non-chronological report about the digestive system demonstrates this beautifully. Well done Daisy!

Grace: has grown in confidence since her time with me in class 2 which is wonderful to see. She is not afraid to give anything a go, no matter what the subject. She is comfortable to ask for help whenever she needs it, which ensures she is making good progress even in the subjects she is less confident in. Her contributions in our English lessons are what has really made her stand out as star this week. Whether we are reading or writing, she makes many wonderful suggestions. She can orally craft sentences using whichever grammar feature we are learning and loves to discuss the meaning of new words and phrases. Not only does this support her own learning, but it supports the learning of others, making her an extremely valuable member of the class!
Jude A: has a wonderful attitude to learning. He quietly and considerately tries his best, which does not go unnoticed. He is never distracted by those around him - taking his learning very seriously. He listens carefully during lesson input and has some wonderfully creative ideas for his task. I have also noticed that Jude has the most wonderful manners. He is always polite and respectful making him a pleasure to teach.

Joseph - has transformed in Class 3! He is happy and self assured, finding a love of learning across his subject areas. Mum and I could not be happier with this progress - he should be very proud!
Lilianna - has a willingness to contribute to discussions and her hand is now often up, which shows a growth in confidence. When answering questions, she gives thoughtful and engaging responses, which help others to learn and hopefully will encourage more children to gain confidence to share their ideas and opinions. What a super start to year 4.

Dana - has made a wonderful start to her time in Class 4. She is working hard and challenging herself. She conducts herself beautifully throughout the day, always polite and respectful. She has set her sights on gaining her pen licence. I remember her beautiful handwriting from Class 2, and I am delighted to see how it has developed during her time in Key Stage 2. It has really impressed me to see how she uses her best handwriting in all of her books across the curriculum! I do not think it will be long until she is knocking on Mrs Middleton's door for her pen licence!
Lewis - has developed a wonderfully mature attitude to learning. He focuses well during lessons and can always be relied upon to make good choices. As a result, he is making good progress with his learning. He is happy to accept my feedback and tries hard to remember any improvements during future lessons. Well done Lewis!

Billie - has demonstrated a love of learning this week, and set a superb example for the rest of the children in her class. She knows how to have fun during her day, but is also determined to be the best she can be during learning time. This week, in Key Stage 2, we have introduced jotters for the children to use to make notes. Billie use of her jotter has been phenomenal. It is neat and packed with useful information which she can return to in order to help her retain key facts. What a fantastic start!
Drew - has embodied the value of generosity this week. She has been extremely generous with her time in terms of how she has helped her learning partner. Her patience has been boundless, which has really benefited those around her. She has even managed to ensure that she has completed her own work to an extremely high standard too! What a brilliant example she has set!
