Hello and welcome to Symphony Class. We are a class that is full of energy, questions and great ideas. We are all unique, with a huge range of individual skills, from the arts to sports.
Our class teacher is Mr Gauld and we are very fortunate to have other adults supporting us with our learning and our reading.
We start each day quietly with silent reading or an independent morning task. After collective worship, we split into our English groups and have an opportunity to practise spelling and handwriting. During English, we learn a wide range of comprehension and grammar skills, together with techniques and tools for writing creatively for effect and purpose across a wide range of genres.
As part of our collective worship and class time, we immerse ourselves in the school’s culture connoisseurs curriculum which focusses on our cultural heritage: music listening, art, poetry and inspirational individuals.
After break, we have maths lessons and very much enjoy being challenged to apply our numerical skills to systematic investigations, mathematical reasoning and problem solving.
Maths and English are taught by our Year 4/5 team of teachers (Miss Bowskill, Miss Smith and Mr Gauld) and gives us a wonderful opportunity to work with other children within the year groups.
Our afternoons are different every day and we are extremely lucky to have a wide range of experienced subject specialists who share their passion and their wealth of knowledge with us.
