Teacher's Comments

Welcome to Year 5!

Welcome to Brilliant Barbican Class, a community where every child is celebrated and supported to thrive. I am Mrs. Fernandes, the class teacher of Barbican and I'm thrilled to work alongside all our new and returning families this year.

Year 5 is an exciting journey where every child will explore new projects, dive deeper into their favourite subjects and discover talents they never knew they had, all within an engaging and nurturing learning environment. This year, we will embark on fascinating topics, designed to ignite curiosity and inspire a lifelong love for learning :Stargazers (where we'll venture beyond Earth's atmosphere to explore the wonders of our solar system and beyond), Mayan Mysteries (an intriguing journey into the ancient Mayan civilisation, exploring their culture, achievements, and influence on the modern world), The Mummy Returns (a captivating exploration of Ancient Egypt, where we'll uncover the secrets of pharaohs, pyramids, and mummies) and The 7 Wonders of the World (a breathtaking adventure discovering the most extraordinary man-made wonders from the ancient and modern world, understanding why they continue to inspire awe and admiration today).

This year will be all about curiosity, creativity, and growth—both as learners and as friends. Remember, making mistakes is part of learning; every mistake is a stepping stone to success. I encourage you to ask questions, share your ideas, and embrace challenges with a positive mindset. In our class, we will always be kind and respectful, treating others how we wish to be treated. Every day is a new opportunity to collaborate, learn, and make the most of our time together.

Let's make Year 5 a year to remember, filled with discovery, personal growth, and wonderful memories. Welcome to an incredible year ahead!
