Parent Presentation
The class adults are Mrs Heath and Mrs Clifton (Class Teachers) and Mrs Hamblin (HLTA / Year 6 Intervention).
Our learning experience for this term is
T.B.C.
Our PE days will be on a Wednesday and swimming on a Friday (beginning 25th September 2026). Please ensure children come to school in the correct kit on these days and that long hair is tied back. We do not allow the children to wear earrings for PE so please can they be removed on these days or taped over.
In regards to swimming on a Friday, please ensure your child brings in their swim kit. Your child will need a one-piece swimming costume or swimming shorts/trunks (not the loose baggy type), goggles and towel. These must be brought into school on the morning of the lesson. If these are forgotten there will not be a phone call home.

Class rewards
In order to promote positive behaviour, we reward the children with: raffle tickets, smiley faces, fishy points (house points) and a reading treat. If the class is able to achieve 100 reads, then the children who contributed significantly will be able to choose a reward. In addition, we have a traffic light system for behaviour and if the children are on the star at the end of the day, they will receive a raffle ticket. This allows us to encourage the students to engage in their learning and reward those who are participating and show a positive learning attitude.
Greater Depth
To support our Greater Depth children (those working above the expected level), we always try to challenge them within lessons with the work set and our level of questioning.
In Year 6, some of our Greater Depth (GD) children were involved in a Maths Challenge online, where they had to answer a range of difficult problems using their mathematical knowledge and understanding of many different concepts. They enjoyed this, as it made them think ‘out of the box’.
