Our Class News This Week: 

Hello everyone! Welcome back!

This week, we have had another busy week!

In English, we have started our new class text 'The Lost Happy Endings' by Carol Ann Duffy, and it has inspired lots of amazing writing by the students which is great to see. In Maths, we have moved on to adding and subtracting decimals and knowing when to have a placeholder in calculations. Also, we have started our new Geography topic 'Down Under', where we have been exploring all things Australia! We have focused on the geographical location this week by looking at the different cities, states and territories in the country.

Dates for your diary:

11th June- Longridge Year 5 trip

Each week, children will have homework set which is expected to be completed for Thursday. There will be work which can be completed in the CGP Grammar and Reading Comprehension books children are provided with. Grammar homework will be sent out every week, while Reading comprehension will be sent out every two weeks. Mathematics homework will continue to be set online via Mathletics.

The most important way to support your child at home is through reading. We expect each child to read for a minimum of 10 minutes a day. If you have time, try to read with your child and ask them questions about the story they are reading. This quality, dedicated time set aside to reading has a huge impact on children's learning across the curriculum and helps develop a love of reading which can last a lifetime. 

Please sign your child's reading record each day.
