Welcome to Rowan Tree Class,
Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to Year 5! I am so excited to teach Rowan Tree Class and I cannot wait to
see all that they will achieve in Year 5.

We have made a great start in English, diving into Kensuke’s Kingdom. Our History
and Geography learning will focus on Romsey Abbey and Southampton, and in RE we
will be exploring how God is both loving and holy.

Please encourage your child to read daily as this is such an important skill to
develop. Reading with an adult regularly (at least three to five times a week) and
recording this in their Star Reading Journal is key. Discussing what the book is
about and exploring the meaning of language will help them grow as thoughtful,
independent readers.

I am really looking forward to an amazing year of learning together!

Best wishes,
Miss Osmond
