I am so excited to be teaching year 5 Elephants this year. This is my 12th year of teaching and my first time in year 5. My favourite subjects to teach are English and History - and my personal soft spots are for Music and Dance! I am really looking forward to spending lots of time with you all and getting to know each other, we've got lots of fun ahead!
We are so lucky to have so many adults working with us this year.
Our morning TA is Mrs Davies - the children had her with Mrs Garland back in Year 3 so this is a familiar friendly face for them.
Mrs G will cover my PPA time on a Friday afternoon.
In the mornings we will also have Mrs Duggan and Mrs Norris working with us.
In the afternoons we will also have Mr Hall and Mrs Clifford working with us.
I will post regular updates on here so make sure you check back. But if you need anything please email me: samantha.mitchell@barleyclose.org.uk or contact me via ClassDojo.

In term 1 PE will be on a Wednesday and Swimming on a Friday - please make sure jewellery is removed, hair is tied up and you have the correct PE kit on.
Please make sure reading books and reading records are brought into school every Friday to be checked. Children will be able to change their own books as and when they need to during the week. Parents/carers need to sign the reading record 5 times - either to say the child has read to them, or that they have seen the child reading independently. Thank you!
It is expected that children complete 25 minutes of TTRS a week and 2 activities on MyMaths. This will be checked and rewarded on Fridays.
