Year 5 - Malala 2025 - 2026

Welcome to Year 5 Malala Class!

My name is Mr Whyte and I teach alongside Mr Adelaide. I am PE lead at CHPS and am passionate about children developing their physical literacy so they understand the importance of an active lifestyle. I also enjoy encouraging children to develop their English skills.

Year 5 is an exciting and important year, full of opportunities for children to grow in confidence, independence and maturity as they move through Upper Key Stage 2. Our classroom is a positive and supportive space where every child is encouraged to aim high, challenge themselves and take pride in their achievements. We follow a rich and engaging curriculum that not only deepens knowledge and understanding but also promotes creativity, critical thinking and collaboration. As role models for younger pupils, Year 5 children are supported in developing leadership skills and a strong sense of responsibility — all while having fun and enjoying their learning.

Outside of school, I love travelling, having visited countries in every continent except Antartica. I play rugby and enjoy running, which is lucky as I love food so much! I also support Preston North End (have you heard of them?)! We are going up!

I hope that this page will keep parents and carers up to date with all the exciting things that are happening in our year group. I am always happy to speak to parents or carers regarding any questions or concerns they may have, so feel free to see me after school or arrange a face-to-face appointment if ever you do need to discuss a matter.  My email address is [email protected]

With warm wishes,

Mr Whyte
