Badger Class

Welcome to Badger Class. Please read the information below to find out more about our return to school in September.

The School Day:

Our school day will start at 8:40, when you will enter through the playground gate and follow the one-way system into our classroom. Our daily timetable has changed a little, and we will now have three lessons in the morning, giving us more opportunity to dive into a range of subjects in more depth. Lunch time will be a little different to normal, as you will now be eating at 12:15 in the classroom (and on sunny days we also have access to our garden area) followed by play. Our school day will end at 3:20, when you will leave through the playground gate.

Transition Weeks:

Having missed our usual transition weeks in July, we will spend the first few weeks of  the term getting used to life in Year 5. We will familiarise ourselves with our new routine and reconnect with friends, some of whom we have not seen for a long time!

During these weeks, we will be reading The Wind in the Willows, getting to know Toad, Mole, Rat and of course, Badger. We will then complete English activities inspired by the story. 

The Wind in the Willows

During the afternoons of our transition weeks, we will be creating a special Geography project, with a focus on geographical skills such as using directional language and grid references.

Reminders:

Home Learning will be set on Google Classroom. You have been sent an invite to join the new class page.

Please bring your PE kit into school at the beginning of term, it can then be stored in your locker ready for PE lessons. 

Please bring a water bottle to school everyday.
