Week 1, ending 24 February

I have decided that each week from now, I will include the winners of the weekly certificates in my blog.
Reader of the week – Lillian
Special Mention – Violet
Well done, girls! Keep up the fab work! Come on boys – raise your game!
In this first week back, we have been welcomed into class each morning by the sounds of K-Pop. Mixed opinions about that genre of music, I can assure you!
In Maths, we have finally completed the second unit on fractions, but I am certain we will keep recapping this important aspect of arithmetic as the year progresses. In English, we have been getting really stuck in to researching for our new text type: balanced arguments. One learning objective in Y5 is to create questions to aid understanding, so homework this week is for the children to research (internet) answers to their self-created questions. It would be very helpful if you could ensure they have some access to a device to be able to find this information. The children know that this work is needed in school on Monday, as we start to plan our writing then.
In RE, we have nearly finished our learning on Values and we have made some really thoughtful bunting to decorate our classroom on the theme of ‘peace’. An activity that seemed especially poignant this week as we mark the one year anniversary of the troubles in Ukraine.
I hope you have a lovely weekend – remember, it’s World Book Day on Thursday and I would love it if the children could bring in their favourite book on Weds/Thursday to help us with the t-shirt decorating.
Yours,
Mrs Amos
