Welcome to China Class

Class teacher: Miss Irvine

Meet The Teacher

My name is Miss Irvine and I am thrilled to be  in Year 5 be teaching China, which is an exciting new venture for me, after spending 10 years in my previous school.  I cannot wait to build on the foundations they have already accomplished here at Witham Oaks Academy. We certainly have lots of other exciting aspects to look forward to and make our learning as enjoyable as possible. I am a huge believer of coming to school for two reasons: to learn and have fun! 

One of my favourite subjects is Art - without a doubt! I love all things sport related too. However saying that, I have found a love for many other subjects since becoming a teacher, such as: Science; Reading; and Maths!

Things to Remember

• Filled Water Bottle
• Reading Book
• Pupil Planners
   

When do China have PE?

Our PE days are Monday and Thursdays. 

Children must arrive at school in their full PE kits compromising of plain black shorts, white t-shirts and black plimsols/trainers. Black tracksuit bottoms and hoodie may also be worn when the weather is colder - no branded logos please. 

Even though children will be arriving in their kits, please ensure that EVERYTHING is still named. Please remember that earrings cannot be worn for PE and should be removed at home if your child is unable to do this themselves. Long hair should also be tied up.

If your child attends a club after school which requires a PE Kit - they must remember to bring it in to school - or they will be unable to attend.

Homework

Homework will run on a weekly basis (Monday to Monday).

Children will be given some other tasks related to the learning they have completed that week. These sheets will be stuck into their blue homework books. 

Each week, children will also be expected to:

• Read at home (on at least three separate occasions)
• Practise their spellings
• Times Table Rockstars (3 minutes daily)
