Welcome to Sycamore Class - Year 5

Welcome to Sycamore Class

Our class teacher is Mrs Moore and we're very lucky to have Mrs Winter supporting us.

Mrs Hadfield will be with us two afternoons a week and Mrs Skeels will be with us on Thursday afternoons.

Please read on to find out more about our class and see what we have been learning as well as what we will be learning about this year. 

This term PE will be on Monday afternoons. Children can come to school wearing PE kit on this day.

If you have any queries, please ask in person or via email (sycamore@benson.oxon.sch.uk) and Mrs Moore will respond as soon as she can. If you need to contact us urgently please email via the school office.

Art Bytes 

This year, year 5 have been lucky enough to be involved in the Art Bytes competition. Art Bytes is a national art and EdTech programme for primary, secondary and SEN schools, combining an inter-school art competition with a bespoke virtual gallery.  

For our entry, we created some portraits in the style of the illustrations from the book Wonder that we read in term 3 and 4. 

The class each voted on their 3 favourite portraits and the portraits with the highest amount of votes were entered. We couldn't narrow it down to the top 10 so entered 12 in the end. They were all amazing!

Please have a look at our artwork on the website and vote for your shortlisted favourite (the link is below). The portrait with the highest amount of votes will go forward to be displayed in the virtual gallery and could then be selected as a regional or even national winner.

Voting opens on the 15th April. Please show your support by voting and well done to all the children for taking part.

Drop off and Collection 

Please wait on the playground for the adult to collect your child in the morning and they will bring them out at home time to the playground. 

Drop off: 8.40am 

Pick up: 3.15pm
