Venus - Year 5/6 2025 - 2026
Mrs Smallshaw
Welcome to Venus Class - Year 5 & 6
Hi, I'm Mrs Smallshaw, Class Teacher and Deputy Headteacher, and I have one of the best jobs in the world! (Well, I believe so). I hope to provide the children with lots of varied learning experiences and develop their independence in their final couple of years of primary school. Children are encouraged to ask lots of questions and challenge themselves. I love to read and hope to encourage and inspire children to find books and authors that they love too. I also enjoy leading our school Worship Group and Netball Team.
Mrs Russell, our Teaching Assistant, supports the children with their learning every day. She works with groups and individuals in our Reading, Maths, Spelling and English lessons.
Miss Moulden teaches in our class every Tuesday. Our Class Facebook Group link is just below.

Our Agents of Change question
This year we are thinking about Justice and how we can bring it to our school, community, country and world.
As part of our project we have written this class prayer together. The prayer was written by the children and they used Proverbs 31:8 as a basis for their prayer. We say this prayer at the end of each day, in the hope that presistent prayer will support us in driving change.
Our Emotions Check-in
Each morning when children come into class they are greeted by their teacher, or teaching assistant, and are asked to consider how they are feeling. Children pop their lolly stick into the pot which best suits how they feel at the time. We check-in with children who are feeling sad and may need someone to talk to.
Our Class Bible Quote
Our Bible quote comes from 1 Corinthians 16:14 and is said each day before lunch. In the image above you can see we have discussed how we put our Bible verse into action over lunch time.
