Welcome to David Copperfield Class page
Hello everyone, on this page you can find out about what we are learning, our daily routines, dates for your diary and see our adventures!
The class teacher in David Copperfield class is Miss Stairs and Miss Stirling is the teaching assistant.
At Rochester Riverside we provide the children with opportunities that engage, enthuse and spark curiosity. The children's interests are important to us and are at the heart of the learning opportunities provided. Our Riverside vision is behind everything we do as we explore together the fundamental questions of 'Who are we?' and 'How do we live?'

Attributes at Rochester Riverside
"Fruit of the Spirit" is a biblical term that sums up the nine visible attributes of a true Christian life.
At Rochester Riverside, we believe in nurturing and developing children's attributes, through this we can help them become a well-rounded individual. The Fruit of the Spirit are amongst some of the attributes we talk about to try to answer our important question of: 'Who we are' and 'How do we choose to live.'
The Fruit of the Spirit illustrate just some of the attributes we talk about and practise throughout the school day. We take the time to share and think about what it means to be a member of our 'Riverside community', what this means to us and why we act the way we do. We encourage the children to share their thoughts and ideas. We inspire the children to be proud of themselves and others and the attributes they present. We believe by the time our pupils come to the end of their journey with us, they will have developed stepping stones, to becoming strong, independent individuals who can continue their journeys sharing their wisdom and attributes with others.
Reading
As a school we aim to promote the love of reading; it plays such an important part in the children's lives. We would love each child to have the opportunity to read daily and for them to bring their reading record in every day.
In Year 3 we encourage pupils to become independent with reading at home but to also read to an adult when they can. This helped the to be corrected in the moment when they find words tricky.
All reads should be recorded in your child's reading record and please write any comments about how your child has read or about the book they are currently reading, they can of course do this too! These reads will count towards their reading rewards, where they will be celebrated each time they reach a certain number of reads.
