Welcome to Otters Class for the 2026-2027 year! 

Your teacher this year is Mrs Jameson, and you will be supported in the classroom by Mrs Harper.

We have lots of exciting things lined up this year, including school trips and a production in the Summer Term. 

Engagement at home and home learning are both very important. We ask that all pupils read at least three times a week, and it is recorded on Boom Reader. Spellings will be sent home on a Monday evening following a test that day. There will be 5 new spellings given each week with up to 25 being tested each week.

In Year 5&6 we use the online learning platform 'Century Learning'. All pupils have an individual login and all the learning is personalised for them. Pupils are encouraged to access this at home to support their learning in school. I will be adding 'Nuggets' to be completed for our core subjects (Maths, English and Science) in each half-term. 

Communication is key, so if there is any aspect of school life that you would like to discuss, please get in touch either by talking to Mrs Jameson at home time, Mrs Harper on the door in the morning or by emailing the school office. Please note I can not respond to emails while teaching, therefore 48 hours is the email response window.

Every half-term, as a parent or carer, you will receive an email with an overview poster of what we will be learning that half-term. You will also receive RKE sheets (Remember, Know, Explore) for each foundation subject we will be focusing on. These RKE sheets let you know in more detail what we will be learning about and key vocabulary which we will be using.

If you ever have any queries about any of our learning, please feel free to speak to Mrs Jameson.

All future updates will be posted on the Otters Blog page.
