Welcome to Juniper class!

I am looking forward to this year because I am eager to get to know the children once again and to get to know our newcomers.

In the classroom it is myself, Mrs. Jacobs; we are further supported by our Teaching Assistants, Mrs. Daniel and Mrs. Longworth. It is going to be a busy year. The curriculum in year 5 is full, but I am sure we will have lots of fun throughout our journey!

As the children have now progressed into the upper tier of the school, they now have an opportunity to be outstanding role models for our younger community.  I am sure they will act as responsible and mature students with the intrinsic values that they have learnt throughout their time at Maple Tree.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact me via the teacher's email address, teacher@mapletreeprimaryschool.com 

There are two classes in Upper Key Stage 2 for children aged 9 – 11: Juniper (Year 5) and Elder (Year 6). 

Teachers plan using the national curriculum and differentiate the work within their class to suit the children’s needs.

Staff

The Key Stage 2 team consists of:

Mrs. Jacobs Yr5 teacher

Mrs. Daniel UKS2 teaching assistant

Ms. Cassidy Yr6 teacher and Key stage leader

Mrs. Walker UKS2 teaching assistant

Mrs. Keenan 1:1 teaching assistant

Timetable

General Housekeeping

P. E: Juniper has P. E on a Wednesday afternoon. Please ensure your child has a full-named P. E kit.  Long hair needs to be tied up and jewellery is removed.

Spellings: Weekly spellings will be given out on Friday; the children are tested the following Friday. The spellings are different every week and will be stuck in their green books where they should practice.

Reading: All children are expected to read their reading book for at least 20 minutes, five times a week. Please record this in their homework diary.  It is your child’s responsibility to take AR quizzes in order for them to reach their targets each term.

Homework: Year 5 will receive maths and English homework every Friday.  It is due back the following Friday.

Homework diaries: Homework diaries are for children to record any homework and reading that they receive/do, key dates and reminders.  We do ask that a parent/carer signs the diary weekly to confirm that your child has read the amount that they have recorded.
