Sycamore Class

Welcome to Sycamore Class!

We are a class of 30 amazing Y5 children taught by Mrs Padfield.

Submitting Learning

From 15th June, we are requesting that every child sends in a piece of writing once a week. This will allow us to offer feedback and support with further learning.

You can choose the easiest method for you to send this in:

1. Email a photo or attachment to me at [email protected]

2. Attach a photo to the blog posts – any attachments are restricted to 1mgb.

3. Save it into the class OneDrive (link shared on Parent App).

All children will receive written feedback about their writing, including a next step.

As Maths Lead within school, I would appreciate it if you could also send in a sample of Maths, weekly if possible.

I recognise that this is another job on top of everything you are managing at home. Please know that I really appreciate that you are doing your best in difficult circumstances. I am here to support you, so please let me know if you need any help.

Our Teaching Assistant is Mrs Nicks. Mrs O’Donnell teaches Science on Thursday afternoon.

In Sycamore Class we work with a GROWTH MINDSET. This means we have a go, try different strategies to solve a problem, try our best and try not to say ‘I can’t do it’ but ‘I can’t do it yet’.

We also aim to ‘ Encourage one another and build each other up’ – 1 Thesslonians 5:11.

We love to share our thoughts and feelings on a range of topics and issues and are very good at expressing ourselves!

We thoroughly enjoy our daily Stilling Time which promotes our mental well-being. We use a variety of resources and activities for Stilling Time such as breathing techniques, Gonoodle, calming music, mindfulness colouring and yoga.

Golden Peg

To get your name on the Golden Peg is a great honour! It is given for a variety of reasons e.g. for effort, perseverance with a challenging task, achievement or for a kind act.

Tri-Wizard Cup

We are great fans of Harry Potter in our class so it seems only natural that we have a Tri-Wizard Cup award. To be awarded the Tri-Wizard Cup and get to keep it on your desk, you have to do nothing at all.

This is because it is awarded for just being you!

Everyone in the class writes a positive thing about the recipient, which is chosen at random, onto a post-it note. The notes are put into the cup and the person receiving it can keep them to read and take home.

Please find below a glossary of the terms used for English – this includes key grammar terms:
