Welcome to Kites Class!
 

Kite class is one of three year 6 classes at Brampton Ellis Primary School. The class teacher is Miss Welch and the children are also well supported by the teaching assistants, particularly Mrs Dunkley. 

  

Continuing the theme which runs throughout school, the classroom ethos is Respect, Responsibility and Resilience. We promote being kind and polite to both children and adults in the class, being responsible and continuing to try our best - even when things are challenging. We regularly recap our learning using retrieval practice techniques, to help us to remember it and to develop a positive, responsible attitude and resilience towards learning. Our R.E. and PSHE topics also build upon developing tolerance, respect, responsibility. 

​ 

Outdoor P.E. is usually on a Friday afternoon. Indoor P.E. is usually on a Wednesday afternoon. We recommend that children have their P.E. kits in school every day. Any changes to P.E. days will be posted on the Class Dojo page.
