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 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 Sanger - Third teacher

Miss Adwoa - TA

Our weekly timetable:

Our learning this term 

English:  

In English this term we will be reading ‘The Nowhere Emporium’, a wonderful and imaginative novel by Ross Mackenzie. 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 tale of a young boy called Daniel who encounters a time-travelling emporium filled with different 'wonders'. 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 learning about ratio, algebra and decimals. In addition to this, we will be taking the opportunity to practise daily arithmetic. 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'. The learning unit will kick off with a fun and informative 'hook' afternoon in week 1, where the pupils will play 'The Trade Game' where they become a country manufacturing 'goods' to sell to a 'Trader'. The pupils will learn about what goods and services are traded, with whom and why. They will learn about factors that affect trade, supply and costs.
