Highlights: This week has been a good but challenging in Class 5 with the children really being tested in all areas of the curriculum. Maths has certainly been tricky but we have made such good progress with decimal knowledge – I have really been impressed with how all the children have stuck at it. We also learnt about Victorian punishments and compared them with how the Tudors dealt with criminals. This proved to be a tasty debate as to who’s punishments were the harsher! Finally, we are improving our Hockey skills enormously and I am looking forward to the Hockey tournament we will be having in a few weeks’ time.
What’s happening next week: Next week is a normal week and we will be continuing with the units in Maths and English we started this week.
Spellings: The spellings next week are words that end in “ible” and “able”. Please practise these at home for the test on Friday. Please find on the website the year 3/4 and year 5/6 spelling lists as I will be drip feeding five of these spellings into our test from next week.
Class Focus: Still 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 working on listening at all times and staying focused for the whole lesson.
Homework: Homework this week will be maths related to the decimals unit we have been doing in class. It is due in for Tuesday.
