Welcome
to Class 5
Mrs Lloyd
Meet your teacher
Hi everyone! My name is Mrs Lloyd and I will be your Y5/6 class teacher in September. I can’t wait to meet you all and I am super excited to be part of the Foljambe team for my 3rd year. I have been a primary school teacher for 28 years with experience in teaching mainly Y5 and 6 and have taught as part of the Wickersley Partnership Trust for just over 12 of those years.
My degree is in geography but I also love science, PE and maths. I am married to David and am a proud mum to Brandon aged 17 and Ruby aged 15 but I also adore my furry cocker spaniel daughters Belle and Lottie who I love to take for walks. In my spare time, I love to be with my family going for walks and being in the outdoors. I love sport – running outdoors is a favourite of mine however our particular love as a family is skiing. I also love listening to music and can often be seen singing my heart out in my car – I am certainly not a pro though!!!
I am excited to be your new year 5/6 teacher and am looking forward to getting to know you all. We will have a fabulous year of working hard, having fun and making lots of great memories together. I hope you all have a lovely summer and I will see you all in September.

Mrs Lawery
Hello I am Mrs Lawery I have worked at Foljambe Primary for 30 years now. I am passionate about my job and feel lucky to be working with children in EYFS, KS1 and KS2. I love to see how the children grow in their learning becoming confident, independent individuals. Outside school I love to spend time with my family who are very special to me. When I have time I also love going to the theatre, baking, sewing, knitting, other crafts and gardening which I also get to do with children at school.
Areas of Learning
We have an exciting curriculum planned and the children will be taught exciting lessons which will enable them to become geographers, historians, scientists to name just a few. We have planned some wonderful learning opportunities for the children and will hopefully be able to take part in some exciting class visits to further support our learning back at school.
Homework – Homework is handed out every Friday (when possible) and must be returned the following Thursday. Please ensure that you do your homework at home as it ensures that you get extra practice. It’s so important! Homework will consist of spellings, reading and timetable practice using TTRockstars. Children will also have a termly topic to complete which will hopefully encourage them to be imaginative and creative.
Reading – We encourage your child to read at least 10 minutes a day.
