Week 1, ending 8 September 2023

Welcome to Year 5!
It has been a very enjoyable week in Oak Tree Class and was lovely to meet so many of you in the Meet the Teacher sessions on Wednesday. I look forward to getting to know your child (and all of you!) over the coming academic year.
As well as a variety of ‘Getting to know you’ activities, we have spent some time recapping the writing and grammar skills learned in y4 and also revisited place value, addition and subtraction, as reminders for our work in the coming weeks. Also, we have started our Autumn Term topic, The Victorians, which I know the children are really excited about. (If you happen to have anything in your attics/lofts/storage boxes which might help to boost the children’s experience of the Victorians, then I would love to hear about it! You can email me at oak@ruffordparkprimary.org.uk)
Our PE days, as it already states on the website, are Mondays and Thursdays and in Y5, we continue to send homework out on Fridays and expect its return the following Wednesday. This week, it is simply a task to find and learn weekly spellings.
Each week, in Oak Tree Class, the children will hear a different genre of music as they enter the classroom in the mornings. This week it has been the turn of SKA. They have loved tapping their feet along to Madness and the Mighty, Mighty Boss Tones among others! I hope the children will talk about these themes over the year.
The children have settled superbly this week, I feel – this is a delightful group to be working with! But should you have any issues, please do not hesitate to contact me – either by email (using the address above) or by stopping by at the end of the day. (Mornings are always very busy, so this possibly isn’t the best chance to chat.)
I hope you have a lovely weekend!
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
