Welcome to Year 5

from

Mrs Whiteside and Mrs Button

Autumn Term 1

We are so happy that we are able to welcome everyone back to school and hope that you have all had an amazing summer break. You all look fabulous in your school uniform and have grown so much! We are ready for an exciting half term and hope that you are too!

Our first week will, as usual, be 'Mission Week' and this year our focus is on 50 years of our fabulous school. Just like the Olympics and the Euros, our celebrations had to wait, but we are ready to get started.

Further information about our topics will follow shortly.

If you have any questions or concerns, or anything impotant to tell us, please email the class 5 email address:

classfive@stjeromes.sefton.org.uk

Many thanks for your support.

Let’s work together to make this a fantastic year

for the children of Class 5.

Many thanks

Mrs Whiteside and Mrs Button.
