Welcome to Year 5

 

My name is Miss Peacock and I am delighted to be teaching Year 5 this year. This is now my sixth year of teaching and my fifth year at St Francis of Assisi. After spending four years teaching in Year 1, I am really excited to take on the new challenge of teaching in Key Stage 2 and to continue developing my teaching and learning alongside the children.

Outside of school, I love travelling, reading, crafting and spending time outdoors. I particularly enjoy running and have completed a number of races, including half-marathons! I also enjoy spending time with my dog, Milo, and making the most of my free time with friends and family.

I am really looking forward to getting to know my new class and supporting them as they become increasingly independent, confident and curious learners. Our classroom will be a positive, inclusive and creative space where everyone feels respected, valued and encouraged to be the very best version of themselves. I am excited for all that we will learn, achieve and experience together this year!

Welcome back to school!

We hope you had a wonderful holiday and are ready for a busy and exciting year ahead. A special welcome to new pupils, parents and staff to our school; we hope you will be very happy here.

I would like to say how pleased we all are to see the children again. This is a very special school and one where we all feel extremely privileged to work.

Welcome to Year 5, where we are all committed to working hard and striving for our best. Our school rules are at the heart of everything we do:

  1. Listen
  2. Respect
  3. Try our best
  4. Be positive
