Dear Parents, carers and children,

Let me begin by saying a big hello and welcome to Year 5! It has been great getting to know the children during these first few weeks of school, and it has been great meeting many of you at the end of the school day at pick-up time. 

It is important that you have a clear understanding of the children's learning for this year and what is expected of them therefore, we will be having an online 'Meet the teacher' session on Monday 20th September at 5pm via Google Meet. 

Below I have attached the 'Meet the teacher' PowerPoint. Any questions you have about the PowerPoint can be asked during the Google Meet.

 I look forward to working with you and your children this year. 

If you ever have any queries, you contact me at y5@st-lukes.newham.sch.uk

Best wishes, 

Miss O'Garro
