Welcome to P5-J


Dear Students and Parents,
Welcome to P5-J.  
Miss Zoe and myself are looking forward to wonderful year together of learning and fun.  For the first two weeks we will be going on a learning 'quest', in order to refresh our memories and learn how to become the best learners possible. Throughout these two weeks, children will be learning about the brain, our personal goals and how to develop a growth mindset.  They will also be writing, reading and completing maths challenges to reconnect with the curriculum after our summer break. 

Following is some information to help you with the first week back at school. 
 We look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday morning.

Regards, Miss Joh and Miss Zoe

Each week on a Thursday you will get P5’s Learning News on the Class Page. This letter will inform you of the learning that will take place during the coming week, as well as any year group / class related news.

Your child will receive the Learning Log, which is an essential tool of communication and learning. In case you want to share information with me or have a question before you receive your learning log, please contact me via email: jweekley@pdoschool.com

Please ensure your child brings their green bag each day to school.
The school reading book is also required daily in school.

Each week the children will visit the library. Please ensure your child brings their library books inside their red library bag to school
on their library day. Our library day is Wednesday

We will be sending home reading books home as soon as possible. In the meantime, please read, read, read with your child, using books they are interested in! We will of course be reading with the children in the school day as part of their learning in the first week.

As a school we promote brain friendly learning to our children. An aspect of this is to ensure the children bring HEALTHY and NUT FREE snacks and lunches to school. With this in mind please ensure your child brings a water bottle to school – this can be filled up during the day at a number of water stations.

Our specialist lessons start on Monday 3rd of September.   
Swimming Sunday (not on the first day back at school)
PE - Monday
Music Tuesday
Computing Tuesday
Library Wednesday  

Please visit our class blog P5J. We regularly post information about your child’s learning which you can share at home as well as leave a comment if you wish.

I welcome any queries you have about any aspect of your child’s schooling.   If you need to communicate with me, please use the learning log or contact me via email if an appointment is needed.

Kind Regards
Miss Joh
