mR LOWRY
Hello everyone and welcome to year 5/6. My name is Mr Lowry and I will be your class teacher for the next year. I’m really excited to meet and get to know those of you that I haven’t yet had the chance to teach. We have lots to look forward to this year including a trip to Crowden (Year 5) as well as a trip to Robinwood (Year 6). My favourite subjects to teach are Maths, Geography and Writing.
As some of you may already know, I’m a massive Rotherham United fan and go to watch them all over the country. I am also a massive lover of food and like to cook and try lots of different dishes.
Areas of Learning
This year we will be covering many exciting topics across all subject areas. From going back in time and discovering what the world was like hundreds of years ago in History to understanding how the world works in Science.
We will also have PE twice a week. For this you will need to have black PE shorts/trousers and a white t-shirt.
In addition to this, we will be covering a range of genres in reading and writing – enabling us to develop our writing skills and become confident writers.
In maths, we will be exploring numbers to 1 million as well as diving into more tricky areas such as fractions and decimals (Don’t worry we will perservere and get through this together!)
