During these unusual times our teachers are thinking of new ways to connect with their classes, this is increasingly involving new technology! Please understand that our teachers are working hard to regularly set work for children online and to virtually monitor and possibly interact with the children. This may look slightly different for each class at the moment, as each teacher is navigating their own journey with this new technology. Therefore, we ask that you continue to be supportive during these unprecedented times and not necessarily expect instant replies to queries and understand that sometimes feedback may just be a "like or a smiley face"! If we all work together we will come through this stronger and with an increased sense of community! Happy learning!
Welcome to the Year 5/6 Dolphins Class page!
The class teacher is Mrs Banks and our teaching assistant is Mrs Beeching
Dear Parents and Carers, .jpg)
Firstly, Happy New term Dazzling Dolphins, I hope you all had a well deserved break! I will be posting daily work on here regularly and also updating you on class Dojo. Please upload all completed work for me to see on Class Dojo daily (Dojo points are awarded for doing so). If you have any questions regarding the work, please don't hesitate to ask via Dojo. If you haven't yet signed up to Class Dojo, please do so as it makes home learning much easier. (Maths and grammar work books for additional homework and revision were sent home at the end of last term. If your child did not receive theirs or were not in school, please contact me via Dojo to arrange delivery. Please note, these are additional to the daily learning posted on here).
Thank you in advance for your support during these difficult times,
Mrs Banks

- Take turns to make plans and predictions before reading: ‘I wonder if… what do you think?’ ‘You think… Oh, I thought…’
- Recap to check ideas and understanding as your child is reading: ‘So, you think that…’ ‘Did you expect…to happen?’ ‘Why do you think that happened?’
- Use encouragement and praise to keep children engaged in reading: ‘What brilliant ideas…let’s see what happens.’ ‘You thought so carefully about... What might happen now?’
- Share prior knowledge and past experiences that link to what is being read: ‘Have you learnt about…at school?’ ‘Do you remember when we watched…and found out about…’
- Tune-in and listen to your child – be curious about their interests: ‘I didn’t know you knew so much about…’ ‘I love reading stories about...with you.’
At school we use the Reading Rainbow to give children a reading focus (a lens to read with) and sentence starters to answer questions.
