Covid 19 Daily update

If you are a keyworker and have been given permission for your child to attend school , please ensure there is no other option before sending your child to school.

Gavin Williamson (Secretary of State for Education) has sent out the following message.
“You should only send your child to school if you have to, because your work is critical to our COVID-19 response. If you are able to keep your child at home you should.”

Schools are closed to stop the spread of the virus. Please remember this, children already off school due to the closure should be social distancing and not mixing outside school.

Thank you to all those keyworkers who have sorted additional childcare or only taken up the days they really need to.
If you are a keyworker and have been told that you can bring your child to school but have now been able to sort childcare on all or some of the days offered, please let us know as soon as possible.

The school has the right to and may ask that your employer confirms in writing that, based on their business continuity arrangements, your specific role is necessary for the continuation of this essential public service.

Year 5 2019 - 2020

Mrs Gabriel

Year 5

I am looking forward to continuing to teach Year 5 during the spring term, with the help of Mrs Walker (Teaching Assistant) and Miss Turrell (Associate Teacher).

One of our key aims is to foster independence and a lifelong love of learning in all of the children in our class.

Our theme for the spring term is taken from the book 'Timeline'. Year 5 will be exploring the world of 'Gods and Monsters' by travelling back in time to Ancient Greece. More information about this wonderful topic will appear on this web page in the near future.

During the spring term, Year 5 will have their P.E. lessons every Tuesday and Friday. Please make sure that your child has their full P.E. kit in school every day, as the timetable may be subject to change. Year 5 will also have the opportunity to experience outdoor learning in Forest School, which will be run by Mr Dooley each Friday afternoon until the half term holiday. Please make sure that your child brings wet weather gear (waterproofs, wellington boots or walking boots) to wear during this lesson.

Year 5 are also required to bring their reading diary and current reading book into school each day.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me via the school office or when collecting your child at the end of the school day.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Kind Regards,

Mrs J. Gabriel
