Welcome to Sycamore class! 

I’m Miss Melling Sycamore Class Teacher and Mrs Tauber is the Year 5/6 Teaching Assistant. We would both like to warmly welcome you and your child to Sycamore class, Year 5/6.

Mrs Ogden and Mr Blair will also be teaching Sycamore class on a Wednesday and Thursday afternoon.

PE Days

Our PE days are on a Tuesday and Friday. Please send your child to school wearing their full PE uniform on these days.  PE uniform comprises of yellow t-shirt, black shorts or black jogger/leggings (no logos) and school PE hoody.

Reading Your child needs to bring their reading book and reading diary into school every day. We love to hear how your child is progressing, so please comment regularly in your child’s reading record to let us know how they are getting on.

Snacks and Drinks

We like to help our children to choose healthy eating options, extending to snacks and drinks. Pupils in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 are encouraged to bring in a piece of fruit, veg, cheese or a savoury snack for breaktime.We are a strictly NO NUTs or NUT TRACE PRODUCTS school as we have a number of pupils and staff with severe nut allergies so please check packages before they are sent in.

Good hydration is essential for good health and good concentration. Your child should bring in their named school water bottle each day. Replacement bottles can be purchased from the school office for a fee of £1.50, bottle lids 20p. Water is preferred but diluted low sugar cordials are also acceptable. Highly coloured or fizzy drinks are NOT allowed.

Please ensure that you are checking in on our Class Dojo page to see what the children have been up to. I am looking forward to your child’s learning journey this year in Sycamore class and we will strive to help them maximise their potential.

Kind regards,

Miss Melling
