Class 5 Autumn 2 2022

Dear Parents,

I hope you all had a well-deserved half term break. The children have worked really hard so far in Year 5 and I look forward to seeing this continue as we head into Autumn 2.

Reminder: As I’m sure you are well aware, we have a child in the class with a severe nut allergy, so please remember that, according to school policy, no nuts or products containing nuts should be brought into school at any time. Since this allergy could have extremely serious consequences, please help me keep him safe by:

a) Avoiding giving children nuts or nut products in their packed lunches

b) Avoiding giving nuts or nut products or snacks/bars containing nuts for break time snacks

c) Avoiding supplying the school with cakes or food items containing nuts for birthday celebrations, sales or events

d) Avoiding sending containers such as cereal boxes for DT / Art lessons into school which may have contained produce made with nuts

This half term’s topic is a geography-based unit that will focus on the upcoming 2022 World Cup in Qatar. We will be looking at the 32 countries that are involved in the tournament and find their location on a world map, as well as study the human and physical differences of each. We will also research the cultures, food and landmarks of each nation, and I’m sure that the children will become immersed in the topic.

PE will continue to be held on Mondays with myself and Thursdays with Mr Bain. The children will also continue to have an outdoor learning session on Thursdays so please provide the children with appropriate clothing for the day, such as warm coat, waterproofs and wellies. As has been previously mentioned, children can continue to come into school wearing their PE kit on these days.

I think that is all the important information for now. Obviously, with Class Dojo and the tremendous teacher-parent communication that it provides, I will post details, updates (and polite requests!) throughout the year. If there are any specific questions that you may have at this stage, please don’t hesitate in sending me an instant message on Class Dojo or email me at:

Thank you

Jamie Burchell
