Year 5

Welcome to squirrel class!

Teacher: Mr Hughes
Learning Support Assistants: Miss Rowlands

In Squirrel Class, we believe that every child can achieve amazing things! We are curious, resilient learners who love exploring new ideas, asking questions and challenging ourselves to think deeply.

Every day is packed with exciting learning opportunities. We break learning down into small, manageable steps so that everyone can succeed and feel confident. As we learn together, we share ideas, support one another and celebrate our achievements along the way. 

We know that our brains grow stronger when we practise and revisit what we have learned. That's why we enjoy fun retrieval activities, quizzes and games that help important knowledge "stick" in our long-term memory. Our knowledge organisers are also brilliant tools that help us become experts in our topics. 

For those who are ready for an extra challenge, we love tackling our "Digging Deeper" tasks. These activities encourage us to think critically, solve problems creatively and push our learning to the next level. 

Most importantly, Squirrel Class is a place where learning is exciting, engaging and inspiring. Whether we are investigating scientific mysteries, travelling back in time through history, getting lost in a great book or solving tricky maths problems, we approach every challenge with enthusiasm, determination and a smile.
