Roddlesworth- Years 4, 5 & 6 2020 - 2021

Welcome to Roddlesworth class. 

We are a mixed age class of Year 5 and 6 children. We aim to make learning engaging, challenging and supportive for all. The learning environment is well structured and prepares children for their transition on to secondary school. 

When children reach Roddlesworth class they are trusted with responsibility in school. This allows the children to mature, grow in confidence and self-esteem and become good role models for the younger children in school. 

We have an ethos of mutual respect between staff and children in class which promotes a happy, harmonious environment to work in. We believe that in order for this to happen, each and every member of our class must uphold our eight core values.

Class teacher: Miss. Rachel Hopkins

Learning Support Assistant: Miss. Catherine Mansfield

PE

PE takes place on a Wednesday and Thursday. Please ensure your child has the appropriate kit for each session ( a warm tracksuit during the Winter months is advisable).

Homework

Homework is sent out weekly on a Friday and consists of Maths, English and spellings. It is to be returned to school the following Wednesday. The homework is to consolidate the learning previously completed in class, or to move children on to the next steps in learning. A weekly spelling test will take place each Friday.

It is imperative that your child spends time reading during the week and we encourage you to discuss the books and vocabulary with them. Although many of our Year 5 and 6 children are independent readers, it is still important for them to complete their reading records and have this signed by a parent/ guardian when the reading has taken place.
