Highlights: This week has been a super week in Class 5 with the children working really hard in all areas. It started off superbly with the boy’s football team winning the local cluster finals where they will move onto the next round. A massive shout out to the girls’ team as well who more than held their own and in fact proved to be quite a handful for every team they played. In the classroom, we have been working hard trying to understand number lines in Maths, which has proven a little tricky. Science has also been interesting this week and the children have enjoyed creating their own experiments to see how the brightness of a light bulb can be altered.
What’s happening next week: Next week is a normal week with no major events taking place, other than the National languages day on Thursday where Mrs platen will lead a special assembly all about it.
Spellings: The spellings next week is all about homophones and words that can be confused. Please practise these at home. It is important this week for the test on Friday that they know the meaning of the spellings as when read out they will sound the same.
Class Focus: Getting work done on time and writing sustained pieces of work will be the focus in class for the next few weeks.
Homework: Homework this week will be comparing and ordering numbers, and working with decimals, which is due in on Tuesday. Children have come home with a sheets tonight.
Dates for your diary: Here below is a list of finalised dates for the coming term. There may be odd dates to add in but I will but these on the blog if so. Hopefully you all received a date for the school nurse visit. If not please contact me about this.
