Our Class News This Week: 2nd-6th March

Hello everyone! 

This week, we have had a very busy week.

In Maths, we have been looking at ordering and comparing decimals with up to 3 decimal places  We have been focusing on the tenths and hundredths column in our place value chart and placing numbers with up to 3 decimal places on our number line. Year 5 have been doing amazingly and I am thoroughly impressed.

In English, we have continued our class text 'Floodland' by Marcus Sedgwick. We were looking at inferring through the form of a sketch and summarising information about the new characters of Dooby, Spat, Munchkin and William. The children seem highly invested in finding out what happens next...

In Topic, we have continued our Topic of 'Going Green'. We are focusing on sustainability, reusable energy and making more environmentally friendly choices. We created our own adverts to persuade others to use solar, wind and hydro energy rather than fossil fuels to be more sustainable! 

Please have a look at the Year 5 Class Dojo page for some photos of the children's work from this week and any important messages.

Have a lovely weekend!

- Miss Hanrahan

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.
