Highlights: This week has been a good week in Class 5 with the children working really hard in all areas. They are slowly getting used to the pace of work but we do need to speed up in certain lessons. We are currently loving learning about crime and punishment in Tudor Britain and have come to a resounding conclusion they were a touch harsh. In Maths we have been working hard learning all about negative numbers and that when we add and subtract them it goes totally against what we would normally do! Finally, we have shown good skills during our rugby sessions and thoroughly enjoyed the attack v defense game we played on Tuesday afternoon. Next week we start our new English topic of setting descriptions.
What’s happening next week: Next week is a normal week with no major events taking place, other than the 5/6 Girls football after school at Hornsea on Tuesday.
Spellings: The spellings next week is words from the statutory words list that Year 5/6 are expected to know. Please Practise these at home for the test on Friday. I also have one of these spellings sheets if you would like to practise them all. As the year goes on, I will be blind testing these.
Class Focus: Writing! We are spending a lot of time currently working on writing complex sentences that make sense. If there are any opportunities at home, then please get your child to write as often as possible. We are also continuing to try and work at a greater pace.
Homework: Homework this week will be GPS related trying to embed the elements we have been working on in class. It is due in for Tuesday.
