Junior 5: Mrs Pugh
Welcome to Junior 5!
I’m Mrs Pugh and I am delighted to be your child’s teacher this year, alongside Mrs Mungo and our wonderful teaching assistant, Mrs Fairclough. I will be teaching your child primarily on a Monday to Thursday morning and Mrs Mungo will be teaching each afternoon and on Fridays. Our class is a mixed Year 5 and 6 class and to cater for all knowledge and skills required to be taught, we follow a two-year cycle of planning.
Each morning, the children will be taught English and Maths, followed by a range of core and foundation subjects during the afternoon sessions. This allows the children to develop a wealth of knowledge and understanding based upon the National Curriculum.
The children will have PE every Tuesday with a West Lancs Sports Partnership coach and a teacher-led session on Thursdays. This year, Year 5 children will have swimming sessions every Monday morning.
The children have a reading book and a weekly spelling list for home learning. We encourage children to read each night and practice their spelling regularly. We recommend the ‘look, say, cover, write, check’ approach for effective spelling practice. Each week, children will receive a Maths and English homework task to complete, given out on Fridays and returned by the following Tuesday.
To keep you up to date about our class activities and the learning happening in class, we highly recommend checking our ‘See-Saw’ app regularly. The app is where we will share updates, news, and insights into classroom life. Additionally, our weekly newsletter, accessible via the links at the bottom of this page, is another valuable resource for staying updated.
We are extremely excited to showcase the talent in our class and Mrs Mungo and I look forward to a superb year ahead.
Kind regards,
Mrs Pugh & Mrs Mungo
