Swifts: Year 5

Welcome to Swifts Class

Swifts are incredible birds known for their speed, energy, and ability to fly long distances without stopping. Just like our class, they are determined, resilient, and always on the move! In Year 5, Swifts will be great learners — working hard, supporting one another, and soaring to new heights in everything we do.

In Swifts, we understand the importance of living out our school values every day. Just like the birds we are named after, we aim to soar to new heights by making positive learning and behaviour choices. This helps us reach our full potential and be strong role models for others across the school.

Our Class Teacher - Miss Hoyer

It’s such a joy to be welcomed into the St Mary’s family and to be teaching Year 5 this year. Together, we’ll be living out our school values of Learning, Transforming, and Growing as we take on new challenges and celebrate our achievements along the way.

When I’m not in the classroom, you’ll often find me outside going for a walk, drinking coffee with friends or enjoying a good book.

Our Class book - Land of Stories - The wishing spell

Get ready to enter a world where fairies, magic and technology collide! Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer follows twelve-year-old Artemis, a brilliant but mischievous boy who hatches a daring plan to steal fairy gold. But the fairies are far more powerful and much more clever than he expects.

Packed with adventure, humour, mystery and unexpected twists, Artemis Fowl is a thrilling story that will keep us guessing from beginning to end.
