Welcome back after half term!
Well done to these pupils this week.
Reader of the Week: Seth
Special Mention Pupil: Henry
We have started this half term with a full and varied week.
Our new PE sessions of Rounders and Tennis were well-received by the children – please keep your fingers crossed for warm and pleasant weather on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for the next six weeks, so our lessons can happen without rain!
Because the weather forecast for Friday was so warm, I made the decision not to do the Weekly Mile – but it has been great seeing the children from Oak Tree Class join in each lunchtime with the extra physical activities that Sam has organised. This is in a bid to keep our children moving. We are ever conscious that many children (not all!) would prefer to pick up a game controller nowadays for entertainment, rather than run a round for a while; this should help to raise every pupil’s fitness level.
I am so proud of the published pieces of work on Darwin’s Dragons that we concluded this week in our English lessons. I hope you will be too! In these tasks, the children have been allowed to choose four different text types to write in – the results have been stunning! And I have been particularly impressed by their presentation skills too – excellent handwriting (in pen!) and fantastic illustrations with captions.
In Maths, we continue to work on the Y5 concepts – this unit is all about the properties of shapes. We are particularly looking at angles – acute, obtuse, right and reflex. See how many angles you can find in real life during this weekend!
Homework is a revision of the method for subtraction.
Have a super weekend – see you next week.
Yours
Mrs Adrienne Amos
