ST JOHN'S SCHOOL VALUES:
Love; Friendship; Kindness; Honesty; Forgiveness
Welcome to Class 5!
There will be two teachers working with Class 5 this year - Mr Giles and Mr Corser.
Mrs Walsh will be your teaching assistant.
We are all excited to be inviting you back to school and we are looking forward to making a fantastic start to the year and getting to know you all.
In Class 5 the expectation is that you will bring your reading book to and from school every day. Please read either independently or to an adult at home at least 3 times a week and ask them to sign your reading record.
You will continue to go swimming at Palatine Leisure Centre weekly on a Tuesday afternoon. You will also have a PE lesson in school on a Friday afternoon and the children will need both their indoor and outdoor kits in school on that day as the weather can be unpredictable.
We cannot wait to work with you all and we are sure there will be lots of amazing learning opportunities taking place throughout the year. We know that moving into upper key stage 2 comes with its challenges so please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you. Check back regularly to see photographs of all the awesome learning taking place in year 5 - these can be found under our 'Photo Gallery' tab above.

HISTORY ANGLO-SAXON VISIT (SEPTEMBER 2024)
Class 5 stepped back in time and got a taste of the life of the Anglo Saxons by experiencing life in a longhouse. They spent time in the Anglo-Saxon village and got a sense of what life would have been like over 1000 years ago. At Martin Mere they learnt about food and drink, medicines, textiles, weaponry and buildings during this time period.
