Well done to these children this week!
Attendance raffle winner: Whole Class!
Our attendance in Oak Tree Class is not always in the 90 %s, so it is encouraging that the children have been determined to achieve a 'treat' at the end of this week for improved attendance. I really hope this continues next half term, as we cover a lot of important units in our work, preparing the children for Y6, along with, of course, much work on Bugsy Malone!
This week has been Internet Safety Week – and here is a link for you to follow and hopefully help to start a conversation with your children about this very important subject.

We often spend time in discussion about how important it is that we keep ourselves as safe online, as we do irl (in real life!) and this week the children also learned more about how to recognise phishing and scams. Oak Tree Class took part in an online Live Lesson, courtesy of the BBC and it was exciting knowing that we were learning alongside thousands of other school children on Safer Internet Day.
Please see the following leaflet for more safety information about one of the most popular online games for our Y5 children: Roblox.
In maths, we have been continuing with fractions work, as well as working hard to improve arithmetic skills. If you know your child finds one area of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, please do try to spend some time this half-term encouraging them to practise. There is no homework, with it being half term, apart from Reading, of course.
Have a great half term,
Mrs Amos
