We're Lemurs and we make up Years 5 & 6 at Stanton Drew. We work really hard in Mr Schofield's class but we also have a lot of fun too. Mr Schofield is supported by Mrs Bryant, Mr Greenwood and Mr Vear. We do a lot of Maths and English and Reading, and we read interesting, modern books from a variety of different authors. We do lots of interesting Science, History and Geography, and learn lots about different artists and techniques in Art, Design and Technology.  We use our school laptops and iPads a lot to help us learn. Our school has excellent singers and actors and we always impress at our Harvest Festivals, Easter plays, Christmas Nativities, and end of year Key Stage 2 plays.

We have extra responsibilities in Lemurs and we have to look after the younger children during Mini Mates/Maxi Mates and Playleader Training: these skills help build our confidence supporting the younger children and also helps out the Stanton Drew staff. We have to keep the PE shed clean and give out equipment at break and lunch times.

We get to participate in many sporting events with other local schools, like football, rugby and rounders. We also do swimming and tennis at venues away from the school.

We can also join cool after-school clubs with Mr Schofield, like in Robotics Club, where we build robots and then program them to do clever stuff, or in Chess Club, where we can attack Mr Schofield’s Sicilian Defence. There’s also Craft Club with Mrs Pestell and Yoga too.

We get to go on camp too, and have fun doing loads of adventurous and exciting activities like archery, the 'leap of faith' jump, rifle shooting, building a catapult, kayaking and rafting.
