Hi

My name is Mrs Critchley and I am the class teacher in Year 5. I moved in to Year 5 least year and really enjoyed my first year.

I have worked at Evelyn for 23 years now and have thoroughly enjoyed my time here. I am a member of the Senior Leadership Team, the Maths and Assessment subject leader, Global and Cultural Lead and I am now the school’s Attendance Champion.

In Year 5 you will be taught be me, Mr Cahill or Mrs Leppard and we also have Mrs Talbot, Mrs Richardson and Mrs Kyle on the team as our super talented Teaching Assistants. We do like you to be equally respectful to all members of staff and always work hard.

I love giraffes (you can see lots of them in my classroom!), reading, listening to music, watching musicals at the theatre, attending concerts and watching Strictly Come Dancing! I was lucky enough to watch the Hallowe’en Special being filmed live in the studio two years ago! In school I enjoy teaching Science and Maths and love to choreograph dance routines with Mrs Talbot (our class Teaching Assistant).

During your time in Year 5, you will learn about the Egyptians, Mayans and Victorians in History. In Geography you will look at Extreme Weather, The Grand Canyon and Water Worlds! As part of our science lessons, we will look at Forces, Space, Global Warming and Plastic Pollution and much, much more. Our lessons are taught in the Science Lab which makes them even better! Historical fiction, Myths and Legends, Adventure stories, Poetry and much more awaits you as we dive into some fantastic texts in English. The list of interesting, awe-inspiring lessons will keep you engaged and wanting to learn more.

We have library on a Wednesday, P.E on a Tuesday and the reading timetable on Seesaw will tell you when your reading day is. Homework is handed out on a Friday, and I would like it returned by the following Thursday at the latest.

Please make sure you wear the correct school uniform and P.E kit and that all your clothing has your name written clearly inside it.

I look forward to teaching you all and I also love to win awards, so make sure you are in every day so we can win the class attendance award!

Take Care and I will see you very soon

Mrs Critchley
