Welcome to the Summer Term! This promises to be a fun-filled term for the children with our residential visit and our class assembly!

Which adults are working in Titania?

The main members of staff are- Myself (Ms R Jones) and Mrs Payne. My PPA (planning, preparation and assessment) time takes place on a Wednesday afternoon each week. During this time, the children will be having a fantastic time with Mrs J Turnbull - producing some outstanding art work. 

Important information

Reading is an important focus throughout school. We are running several initiatives to increase pupils' engagement with reading, such as inviting in 'Secret Readers' and conducting visits to Blacon Library. 

Please can you ensure your child brings in their reading book everyday. This way they can take part in our afternoon reading sessions that take place everyday. In Titania we change our reading books on a Monday and Thursday only (even if they have finished the book). This allows them to become increasingly fluent readers and deepens their understanding around the text.

I would like to thank you for supporting and encouraging your child to read at home- the majority of children are reading every night which is incredible. Not only does regular reading enable children to become increasingly fluent readers, but it also supports their spelling, grammar and range of vocabulary. Understanding the story and actions or feelings of the character is a vital skill to develop in year 5; asking your child a few questions based on what they have just read helps to develop this skill. Additionally, Mrs. Payne will ask for your child to complete a simple task related to their reading, such as find an interesting new word, or to write about the text. These tasks are also aimed at increasing depth of understanding and expanding vocabulary.

Homework will be sent out every Friday and will need to back in for the following Wednesday. Your child will receive one piece of literacy homework which will be spelling focused, and one piece of maths homework which will be times tables based. (See maths and literacy pages for useful links.)
