About Us
Hello! This year our class will be taught by Mrs McCann (Monday-Wednesday) and Mrs Blunt (Thursday-Friday). We also have Mrs Jackson who will help us with our learning and supporting us with our work every morning.
In the mornings we do Handwriting, Spellings, English, Maths and Guided Reading. In the afternoons we have our foundation subjects. Each half-term we base our learning around a different narrative, we like to immerse ourselves into the narratives through a variety of drama strategies in our lessons.
In Year 4/5 we also look at developing a positive attitude to learning and resilience. We foster a love for learning and challenging ourselves in lessons and believe we should always be kind and respect each other.

Autumn 1 - Magical Myths and Legends by Michael Morpurgo
Autumn 2 - Henry Finch by Alexis Deacon
Spring 1 - Beowulf by Michael Morpurgo
