Welcome to Elephant Class! 

I am so excited excited to teaching year 5 Elephants this year. This is my 5th year of teaching and my first time in year 5. Since teaching year 6 this year I will be putting lot of emphasis on making sure the children become 'year 6 ready' during their time in year 5! My favourite subjects to teach are maths and science - I have a real passion for making science lesson practical and fun! I am really looking forward to spending lots of time with you all and getting to know each other. 

We are so lucky that Mrs G will be our TA this year and she will cover my PPA time in a Friday afternoon. Mrs G and I love working together and we are super excited to be together again this year!

I will post weekly updates on here so make sure oyu check back. But if you need anything please email me: rebecca.norman@barleyclose.org,uk

PE

In term 1 PE will be on a Wednesday and we will have swimming on a Friday - please make sure jewellery is removed, hair is tied up and you have PE kit on. For Swimming you must remember to bring a towel and swimming kit with you. 

Reading

Please make sure reading books and reading records are bought 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. 

Maths Homework

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.
