Year 5/6 Blog- Friday 10th February 2023
We find ourselves not only at the end of another week but also half way through the year. There are quite a lot of upcoming events, so we expect the remaining half to go fairly quickly.
This week, the children have been creating texts that required them to use the evidence found within the story 'Street Child' in order to write an account of a Victorian child's daily routine. In maths, Year 5 has been exploring both perimeter and area. Year 6 has been converting metric units in their maths lessons this week. All homework pages have been posted on Google Classroom. They have also been set spellings to practise on Spellingframe (passwords and logins have already been given out).
PTA Coin Run
The children thoroughly enjoyed creating their coin runs today. We would like to say a big thank you to the lovely parents for organising the event. Topaz were the class that managed to create the longest line of coins out of the school and was given a bag of sweets to celebrate this - well done Topaz!
Parent/Teacher Consultations
These will be taking place in school on Monday 27th February and Wednesday 1st March between 3:30-6:30pm. You can book your slot using your Scopay account - booking will open at 8:00am on Monday 20th February.
It will be lovely to see you all and a chance for you to see your child's books and discuss their progress and future targets!
World Book Day
This year, World Book Day is on Thursday 2nd March. To promote reading within our school community, for this day the children can bring in a favourite book from home which they can share with the other children in their class.
They can also bring in a prop which serves as a clue to their favourite book/character or come dressed up as a favourite character too if they so wish. On this day, all the children will also receive a £1 World Book Day voucher!
We hope that you have a lovely half-term and look forward to seeing the children again on Monday 20th February.
Miss Sharman, Mrs Devlin, Mrs Witherall and Miss Parsons.
