"Water is the driving force of all nature" Leonardo da Vinci 

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 our whole school topic  based around the question: where would we be without water?  We will use the books Alumanium and Botanicum to . Our maths focus will be shape measure and statistics, whilst continuing to practise and deepen our knowledge of calculation strategies involving the four operations. Our first writing focus will be explanation texts followed by a discussion text. 

Our learning this term, will be planting and caring for plants as well as a class pet. 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 Wednesdays 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.
