Hello and welcome! Mr Freeman here ready for a fantastic year with a brilliant Year 5 group. So far, the children have settled back into school, and their new classroom, extremely well. Their attitude to learning is exemplary and I’m already seeing progress in just a few days (particularly with writing).
In the first week back, we always focus on getting back into school routines and following school rules, which are below:
We keep our three rules short and sweet so that children can recall them easily. Adults always refer to school rules in lessons and Year 5 follow them well consistently. In our first living and learning session, we spoke about what being respectful, ready and safe looks like in our school – here are some of the comments made by pupils:
Being ready in class is a respectful choice. – Logan
We are respectful to the feelings of others so that we can do the best learning. – Emily G
Respect your friends and peers. – Ethan
We don’t leave things on our classroom floor otherwise it might be unsafe. – Emily M
We avoid bad choices to keep us safe. Physical contact might be hurtful and unsafe to others. – Shae
Having eyes on the speaker shows that your ready. – Elara
You need to be ready because if you’re not paying attention, you might miss something important. – Lottie
Not being ready might not be safe and might impact your future. – Kiara
