Welcome to Orangutan Class

Why Orangutan Class?

We have chosen to name our classes after endangered animals. This fits with our continued work as being a Rights Respecting School, where we not only strive to improve the rights within our school and community, but also the wider world.

Meet The Orangutan Team

My name is Dr Shelton and this is my seventh year at KPS and my second year teaching in Year 5.  Previously, I have taught Year 3 and Year 4 and I have enjoyed learning new things, getting to grips with the Year 5 curriculum last year. 

This year, Orangutan Class  will be  supported by

PE Days – Spring I

This half-term, our PE lessons will take place every Monday (Swimming) and Thursday (Wheelchair Basketball). Children should come to school in their labelled PE kit, with long hair tied up and all jewellery and watches removed.  Earrings should be removed at home before school, if the children are unable to take them out without support.

Contact 

Regular updates on class activities can be found via the Class Dojo, where you can also get in touch with staff and share activities from home too.

Please note that I have 'down hours' in Class Dojo from 4pm to 8am and due to teaching commitments, staff are not expected to read or reply during working hours.

Our Curriculum

The document below outlines the curriculum coverage for Year 5, some of which is still under review and subject to further development.
