Year 5/6 PACT Meeting Welcome Everyone! Mr James Mrs Sumner Mrs Pass

New Organisation Recap There are now 3 Parallel Year 5/6 classes Mr James and Mrs Walker Mrs Pass and Mrs Batty Mrs Sumner and Mrs Allen Children in all classes will follow the same curriculum

New Start For the first part of this term we will be working at making sure the new classes ‘gel’ and new friendships are formed from the other year group. Children within classes will not necessarily be split or grouped according to year groups. Curriculum maps demonstrate how the content of the curriculum has been designed to ensure progression and no overlap or repeating.

Helping Us Morning tasks – please encourage children to come in to the classroom by themselves, on time and complete the morning task. PE kits – Please can children have their PE kits in all week to make the most of opportunities to go outside. If any parents are able to spare an hour in the afternoon to listen to children read please see one of us.

Lunchtimes Increase in number of children having hot meals has put extra pressure on kitchen staff. All school lunches need to be ordered by Thursday of the previous week. No orders can be accepted after this time. Children who forget their packed lunch will need it brought in for them. Lunchtime clubs / activity
