Miss Lloyd is our Year 5 teacher. This is her eighth year at King Street Primary School. She has been teaching since 2010 and is looking forward to another exciting and busy year with Year 5!
Miss Lloyd loves History and Art and is the coordinator for Humanities, Art, Pupil Leadership and International Schools. She can't wait to get started with our new topic and find new and exciting ways to explore the curriculum.
The other adults working with us this year are Mrs Bott and Mr Murdoch.
Being in Year 5 means children wil get the opportunity to be part of our Pupil Leadership team this year. Children will choose to become part of the following groups: School Ambassadors, Community and Fundrasing, Environmental Ambassadors or International Ambassadors.
The whole class will get the opportunity to work via digital technology, with our partner school, The Center for Creative Education, in West Palm Beach as part of our curriculum this year.
Reading
- Reading is monitored daily and children should have their school reading book and record in school every day so we can listen to children read 1:1.
- The expectation is that children read three times a week at home. They are welcome to fill in their own reading record but they are still required to have a parent signature.
- Reading books go home each night and are changed on Monday.
- We try to avoid changing books mid-week as this ensures the children have time to read and fully understand the texts. Despite not being very long, the topics are often much more sophisticated, and children require time to discuss and fully understand the theme of their book.
- Please take the time to read with your child and focus on their understanding of the text by asking questions.
- Each child has a reading loyalty card. If they read three times a week, they receive a stamp on their loyalty card. When they fill in one row, they receive a small treat/reward.
