About us
Hi, I’m Mr Meadows, and this is my third consecutive year in Y5. I have been a teacher for 26 years, and I have taught in all KS2 year groups. In Consett Junior School I am the Maths lead, and Maths is one of my favourite subjects. However, I enjoy teaching all areas of the curriculum. I also hope to get to do lots of Forest School with Class 5 this year. My main aim is to help the Y5 children enjoy school, achieve their full potential and prepare them for their transition into Y6. In my spare time, I enjoy competing my horse Prince in dressage competitions, and I also spend a lot of my time being a human cushion for my cats Zip, Button and Skye.
Hi, I’m Mrs Taylor and I teach in year 5 on a Monday and Tuesday. I have been a teacher for 15 years, in fact I came here as a student and never left! Here in Consett Juniors I am the Art lead and it is my favourite subject, I also enjoy doing an art after school club in the Spring term. I’d love to know what your favourite type of art or artist is? In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my two children who are 13 and 11 and my dog Maddie who is 3. I also like going to the gym and shopping with my friends.
English
Class 5 and Class 6 will work closely together on The Nowhere Emporium, Holes, Bloddon’s Adventure and we will also do a poetry topic based on the work of Karl Nova. We are excited to see what amazing pieces of work Class 5 create based on these inspiring texts.

White Rose Maths is the scheme which will form the foundations of our daily maths lessons. Each day we will do a variety of fluency, reasoning and problem-solving questions.
