Oak Class (Y5/6) - Miss Downing
Class 3 2024-25
Happy New Year, and welcome back to school! I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas break, full of fun and laughter (and maybe a little bit of chocolate too!) Now that we're back, I’m so excited about all the amazing things we’re going to do together this half-term.
We’ve got some brilliant topics planned, but I’m especially looking forward to sharing one of my absolute favourite books with you – Holes by Louis Sachar. It’s packed with mystery, adventure, and some truly unforgettable characters. I can’t wait to hear what you think about it as we read it together!
If you have any questions about anything we are learning about this term, please do let me know!
Class 3 is home to the oldest children in the school - Years 5 and 6. There are currently 24 children in the class. We follow a curriculum cycle over 2 years to ensure continuity and progression for a mixed-aged class. This year, we will be covering Cycle B.
In our class, we have the support of Mrs Whiles who is with us daily, and Mrs Munro will be supporting us each afternoon.
