Highlights: We have had a fantastic week in Class 5 and have been unbelievably productive. In maths we have been learning to times and divide by 10, 100 and 1000 and even though it was tricky to start with we have mastered this! In English we have been working hard on creative sentences and using our senses to describe different settings. We are still working hard on understanding how to build these sentences but the improvement this week has been good. Finally, in Science the children planned conducted and evaluated their own electricity investigation deciding upon their own enquiry question first, something which they enjoyed doing and learnt a lot from.
What’s happening next week: Next week is a busy old week in Class 5. Parents evenings are Monday and Tuesday (please see book bags for your appointment). There is also Girls football on the Monday night at Hornsea after school as well as the Boys Football Finals at Bridlington on the Tuesday. Mr Trott and myself will be attending these events respectively.
Spellings: The spellings next week are all about consolidating the words we have learnt this half term. There will be a refresh of different words every day for children to practise. My advice would be to focus on the words for the last few weeks the children have found tricky and practise those. There will be a test on 20 spellings from the previous weeks next Friday.
Class Focus: Still writing! We are still 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.
Homework: Homework this week will be maths related with the children find out all the prime numbers to 100 on a number square (Tuesday). Children have also been asked to find out what a pronoun is and come with that written down for Monday.
