Welcome to Class 8, Year 5/6

Class Teacher: Mrs A. Thomas

A warm welcome to our class page where you can find out about our work and events.

The years in upper Key Stage 2 are very important in developing independence, confidence and self esteem. Punctuality and excellent attendance are essential if children are to reach their full potential so if possible, please keep appointments in school time to a minimum. 

As always, please arrange to see me if you have any concerns about your child. 

Mrs Thomas

Homework

• A spelling list
• A reading record card and own choice/scheme library book
• A ruled exercise book (English/ miscellaneous)

It would be greatly appreciated if you could help to develop independence by encouraging your child to look after this equipment and return it as required.

Curriculum

Our current RE topic is 'Loving'.

Our Imaginative Learning Project (ILP) is 'Bend and Flow'. We will be basing the majority of our Geography, History, Art Design Technology, Science and ICT in this context.

In Welsh, we will continue to focus on developing dialogues using a range of sentence patterns and tenses in the context of arranging events.
