Year 5
Welcome to Mrs Budgett's Year 5 class page. We are a class of 27 children. Along with Mrs Budgett, we work with two teaching assistants, Mrs Woodcock and Mrs Elliott. In our classroom our favourite area is the relaxing Calm Corner where we can read one of our many fabulous books, complete a puzzle, have time for Spirituality, say or write a prayer/ message to someone or just use a space for group work.
We work in mixed ability groups so that we can help and support each other with our learning. We are encouraged to set an example to our younger children by being helpful, kind and demonstrating our six school values at every opportunity.

NSPCC Assembly and Activity
Recently we worked in our Key Stages to learn what the NSPCC do and how we can talk to trusted adults in our lives to help us ‘Speak Out’ when we need to.
