Hello! I am Mr Glancy and I teach Falcon class. I enjoy teaching all the subjects but some of my favourites are reading, writing and science. I love sharing with my class my joy of reading and I share all my favourite stories with them. I am very proud to be part of the teaching profession and a member of St John’s school.

At school I lead Reading which I am very passionate about. I also lead Science and it is great to get the class asking scientific questions they then get to test and solve themselves. I am also lead of Partnerships which means I have an enjoyable role inviting guests into the school to give special lessons or organise events such as trips to the Kings School.

In my spare time I love to read, listen to music, go for days out with my wife and my two children and find nice places out to eat!   

 

Other staff working in our class are:

Mrs Bainbridge - Teacher Assistant 

Mrs Sanger - Third teacher

Mrs Woodward - Cover teacher

 

Our weekly timetable:

Our learning this term 

English:  

In English this term we will be reading ‘The Nowhere Emporium’. We will use this book to support our writing of both fiction and non-fiction texts. Our grammar and punctuation focus will be on revising key elements of basic punctuation and standard English grammar in our sentences. The book is a wonderful novel full of magic, mystery and deception. As always, please do not read this book at home until we are done so that we can share the reading experience together as a class.

 

Maths:  This term we will be focusing on fractions, decimals and algebra, alongside our daily flashback learning. We will continue to develop the children’s understanding and fluency of these concepts through daily practise, as well as targeted reasoning and problem-solving challenges.

Geography:

This term we will be learning about 'Trading and Transport'. What is trade? Why do people trade? How is trading achieved? Where do goods come from? Which countries trade what and who with?

 

RE: 

In RE this term we will exploring the big question: 'What is it like to be a Humanist in Britain today?' This unit allows opportunities for self-reflection, where children can consider the power and consequences of their own choices.

Science: 

In science, we will be studying ‘Evolution and Inheritance’. This will include learning about the theory of evolution, the work of Charles Darwin. They will be learning about adaptation and natural selection and carrying out investigations to answer key questions.

Be ready for learning! In Falcon Class, your child will need to have these items in school:
