Sycamore Year 5

Welcome to Sycamore class 2019-20

Welcome to Sycamore class. We are a class of 24 friendly and enthusiastic children who love learning. Our teacher is Mrs Williams, and our teaching assistant is Mrs Stockley. From October 2019, Madame Taylor will be Sycamore's teacher whilst Mrs Williams is on maternity leave. Please feel free to pop in to Sycamore class before or after school if you have any queries. We also have a noticeboard outside of the classroom which includes a lot of useful information about our topics, homework, dates etc. Keep checking our page to see all the exciting things we do in school!

Author Visit

On Thursday 27th February, the children were fortunate enough to have a visit from famous author Ross Montgomery.

During guided reading sessions all this week, Sycamore class have been reading extracts from 'Max and the Millions' in preparation for Ross's visit.

Ross spent a session with Year 3,4 and 5 talking about his inspiration for this particular story, as well as answering questions about how he started writing and the challenges he has faced during his career. 

On Tuesday 25th February , Sycamore class, along with all the other classes,  walked down to the square in Wallingford to watch the annual Pancake Race.

It was exciting to see the runners warming up, especially those who had come in fancy dress in this year's theme of Toy Story.

Great support and cheering encouraged our Year 6 children to run as fast they could whilst tossing their pancakes!

Congratulations must go to Mr Wilcox who came Joint First!

Sycamore class are really looking forward to their chance to participate next year.
