Week 3, ending 20 January

This has been an exciting week, as we have finished Fractions in Maths – hurray! (But we do revisit them a little later this term….) I have been really proud of the progress the children have made in this area of Maths – it is very tricky in Y5 and to hear the children talk about how to convert fractions so that they have the same denominator has been really encouraging. Do ask your Y5-er to explain this to you! We have also published some amazing writing on the Layers of the Rainforest during our English sessions. I am hoping to send home a copy of this to you,
We have learned another song to strum and play to in Ukuleles – George Ezra’s Green Green Grass, It is amazing to see (or to hear) how far everyone has come in learning this instrument.
Our movement session with Hannah this week, again on the theme of the Rainforest, is building up to a fantastic class piece – when everyone plays their part, it looks splendid. I will try to record some of the final piece in the next couple of weeks. Because the Hall was being used this week, our Gymnastics lesson was postponed, so Oak Tree children used the session to try to run a mile, complete some circuit-style activities AND attempted two Go-Noodle work outs!
We still need cardboard boxes for DT work this term – cereal boxes would be perfect.
Appointments for parents' evenings can be booked on the online system. I am really looking forward to speaking to parents/carers and sharing the progress children have been making so far this year.
Have a super weekend – do remember, school is closed for a Staff Training Day on Monday, 23 Jan.
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
