Class 5

Dear Grown-ups and children,

Welcome to Class 5!

I hope you have all had a wonderful summer holiday and a restful break. I am very excited to join All Saints and look forward to a brilliant year ahead. I’m so pleased to see how well the children have settled so far. We will have Mrs. Westcott working with us and Mrs. Walmsley teaching on Thursdays.

Please find below an outline of our topic this Autumn term:

Some key reminders:

PE will be on a Tuesday and a Friday, however it is advisable if children could have PE kits in all week.
Please continue to support your child with their reading at home and enjoy sharing books, recording it in their reading record. We expect them to read 4 times a week, which should be several pages.
Children will also have access to TT Rockstars, Spelling Shed and SPAG.COM to practise key skills at home.

Lastly, my door is always open if you have any concerns or questions. Thank you for your support.

I am looking forward to a great year together!

Best wishes,

Miss. Vickers
