Welcome To Class 5
Hello everybody and welcome to Class 5!
My name is Miss Turner and I am your teacher this year in Year 2 Class 5. Mrs Birch will also be working with us.
Please find attached our ‘Welcome to Class 5’ letter.
Important Information
PE is on Thursdays. Please ensure your child’s PE kit has their name in it and that it is in school as soon as possible. PE kits will be sent home at the end of each half term.
All children will require a water bottle. Please ensure this contains water only. Children will be able to refill their bottles in class.
Our start time is 8:45am and our finish time is 3:25pm.
In order to keep everyone safe, please stand behind the marked area at drop off and pick up times. This will ensure all children have space to enter and exit the class safely and apply hand gel. Remember to wear a face covering if you are able to.

21 + 10 =
53 + 10 =
43 + 10 =
64 + 10 =
