Year 5/6 Blog - Friday 24th February 2023
Happy Friday everybody and welcome back to the second half of the Spring Term!
In maths, Year 5 has been working on the area of rectangles and compound shapes. Year 6 have been revisiting fractions and shapes as well as continuing to practise the techniques needed for their SATs. Throughout our English lessons, we have been busy planning and writing a piece of narrative, independently, to demonstrate the skills that they have learnt in the previous half term.
Whole School Trip to Barleylands
This week your child will have brought home a letter regarding our whole school trip to Barleylands on Monday 27th March. Please ensure that you have completed the reply slip and returned this to school by Friday 17th March.
Please keep an eye on the newsletter for any further information regarding this trip.
Times Tables Rock Stars Day
This year, at Down Hall Primary School, we have had a big focus on Times Tables through our Times Table Programme as well as Times Tables Rock Stars. These have both helped the children become more fluent in their times tables.
On Thursday 9th March, we would like all the children to take the opportunity to dress up as rock stars for the day. During this day they will take part in a range of maths activities. Prizes for the best dressed rock star will be handed out. You do not need to bring a donation on this day.
