In Year 5/6, your child will be taught by myself, Mr Lee, and I am supported by our key stage teaching assistants, Mrs Campbell, Mrs Markey, Mrs Miles and Mrs Hewitt. This is my third year teaching at Dane Royd. I have previously taught in Years 5 and 6 at a school in Leeds. In our classroom, we aim to create a warm and welcoming space for all of our pupils in which they are able to make outstanding progress, have fun and develop their love of learning.

​

This year, we will be studying a wide range of interesting and thought-provoking topics which support our school ethos of creating responsible global citizens. More about the history and geography topics that we will be studying this year can be found below. Throughout the year, we take part in many initiatives that support work undertaken by the children in class such as Anti-Bullying Week and Black History Month. Children will also be taught by a specialist teacher in several foundation subject areas including PE, Music and French. Excitingly, the children also have the opportunity to extend their learning outside of the classroom in a range of educational visits this year. This includes a residential trip to Robinwood in North Wales for the Year 6 children which is amazing!

​

Throughout the year, your child will also continue to develop their independent learning skills and be encouraged to develop high expectations of themselves so that they are able to achieve their goals. We hope that your child has a great time in Year 5/6 and we look forward to sharing their achievements throughout the year.
