Mr Hamilton
Class 5 Teacher
Welcome to Maple Class (Year 5) - "Strong roots feed a lifetime of learning!"
We begin our learning at 8.45 each morning and you can enter through the key stage one playground.
You will need your reading book, reading record and water bottle each day.
PE kits should be brought in on Monday and remain in school all week.
Our PE days will be Monday and Friday.
Please, make sure all clothing is labelled.
We have many exciting lessons to share and below is the rolling programme for you to explore. Our homework will be set on Friday and expected to be returned on Thursday.
Alongside this, we would like the children to read five times a week - talking through and looking up words from their spellings can count as 1 read. Also, if they discuss their reading comprehension with you and explore the vocabulary and content, this will also count as a read.
Please make a note of any WOW words that you looked up in the notes section - there may be opportunities in the class where the children can teach their class a new word! And don't forget to include a definition so you don't forget!
On hot days, remember to being in a hat and apply sun lotion before school.
In the winter months, always bring a warm coat because we will often be learning outside.
My favourite book when I was young was XXXXXXX because XXXXXXXX
My favourite subject was XXXXX because XXXXXXX
Some information about myself:
I love the outdoors and being active. I hope my involvement in sports clubs in the school will reflect this.
Writing is a fantastic source of creative expression; it is magical how someone can open a range of emotions through words. I love to teach this subject.

I was late to develop a love of reading as a child; however, my favourite book became (and still is) Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire; however, I have an affinity with The Iron Man by Ted Hughes because this was the first book I had ever completed on my own as a child - I felt a great sense of pride by this achievement as I struggled with reading in my early years in Primary School.
