Teacher - Miss Foreman

Learning Support Assistant- Mrs Gibson

The children in Silver Birch class have a great curiosity and a readiness to learn. They are always kind, they always persevere and they always follow our school behaviour code.

Please see our Meet the Teachers powerpoint linked below to find more information on rules, behaviour system, routines and timetables. 

Our Curriculum

Please see our curriculum topic overview to view our texts, units and wider curriculum learning this term. 

Homework and Spellings

Homework will be given every Friday. The purpose of homework is to embed any learning from the week before whilst training the children to have a disciplined attitude towards home learning in preparation for their next educational steps.

We will be setting SPaG, Maths and Spellings each week. We do not wish homework to be a worry for anybody in the class so please let us know if there have been any issues or homework could not be completed for a certain reason; we can provide extra support if there is a lack of understanding also.

Spellings will be set each Friday and tested the following Friday. The spellings set consist of spelling pattern rules for the Year 5 curriculum but may recap on spellings from Year 2-4 also when required. Spellings are to be practised in homework books to support children in applying these correctly in their writing aside from learning them in a test. 

Children should also be reading frequently at home. In year 5 and 6 the children are encouraged to note down any effective vocabulary used in their reading diaries. Children are asked to have these with them in their writing lessons so they can use this ambitious vocabulary. 

PE days are Thursday and Friday but kit must be in school every day of the week.  Please ensure your child has an all weather PE kit including a thin waterproof or jumper and tracksuit bottoms. Please ensure they have trainers which fit them in order for them to participate in lessons the best they can. 

Year 5/6 will be able to participate in Sports Events this year at Bishop Heber. We will complete trials over a sequence of PE lessons before sending letters home. Where possible, we request an A & B team to enter these events so as many children as possible have the opportunity. 

Communication

Please know you can always contact us with any questions or concerns. You can email us or call the school office to speak to us or arrange an appointment to meet with yourselves.
