Hawthorn Class
Welcome to Hawthorn Class!
Welcome back to school! I hope you have all had a wonderful summer holiday filled with fun, relaxation, and new adventures.
My name is Mrs Courtney-Smith, and I am so excited to be your teacher this year. I can’t wait to get to know each of you and work together to make this an amazing year full of learning, creativity, discovery, and success.
As a Year 5/6 class, you are fantastic role models for younger children in our school. This year we will challenge ourselves, support one another, and celebrate our achievements together. Remember, it’s okay to make mistakes because that is how we learn and grow.
I am looking forward to hearing all about your summer holidays and finding out what you are excited to learn this year.
Let’s make this our best year yet!
Many of the children walk home from school, so it might not be possible to speak to me at the door. If you would like to contact me, please use the ‘Contact me’ button and begin your message FAO Mrs Courtney-Smith. Alternatively, contact the school office and leave a message and I will get back to you ASAP. Likewise, if I ever need to speak to you, I will contact you via phone.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: KS2 SATs Week: Monday 10th May – Thursday 13th May. Children must attend school on these days.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our page.
