The aim of this platform is to keep you updated with all that we are doing in the classroom (and outside!).

If you have any questions or queries throughout the year, please don't hesitate to catch me at the door or you can email me on: jessica.mcnamara@fivespiresacademy.co.uk

Homework will be sent out every Friday (starting the 12th September) and should be returned by the following Thursday.

It is also recommended that children spend some time practising the spelling rules for the half-term at home.

At school, your child reads daily during our guided reading lessons and will also read to an adult every Thursday.

A new reading diary and a book from the school library have been sent home with your child and they are welcome to change their book whenever needed.

Through engaging lessons and creative projects, we’ll bring the past to life with powerful writing, expressive art, and imaginative design. It promises to be a half term full of curiosity, discovery, and wonder as we journey into the mysteries of the Maya!

Through hands-on activities, model-making, and exciting experiments, children will think like astronomers and space scientists—asking big questions, making observations, and deepening their understanding of the cosmos. It promises to be a half term full of wonder, curiosity, and starry-eyed learning!
