Welcome to Year 5

I will be teaching Year 5 this year with the support of Mrs. Walker. I have spent many years working in a classroom and love teaching at Bunbury Aldersey Primary School. In my spare time, I look after my three children, read and socialising with my friends and family.

One of my key aims is to foster independence and a lifelong love of learning. Children will be learning through investigation and practical experiences. 

 This term, we are all very excited to start or topic based around William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. We will focus on the play's themes as well as researching William Shakespeare as a key historical figure. Our maths focus will be fractions, decimals and percentages whilst continuing to practise and deepen our knowledge of calculation strategies involving the four operations. Our first writing focus will be journalistic writing, where we will facts opinions and evaluate how reports can be bias whilst examining the role of the media. We will then move on to writing our own playscripts and a 500 word story to enter into BBC Radio 2's Children's writing competition.  

Our learning this term, will be compensated by our residential to Ingestre Hall where we will explore the art disciplines of drama, visual arts and music. Our curriculum map is attached, please feel free to discuss or research any of the themes with your child. 

We will discuss and choose, as a class, the tasks to be included in our takeaway homework. This will follow.

P.E this term will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays. All children should have full kit in school everyday as the timetabled days are subject to change. 

If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact me via the school office or when collecting your child. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
