Happy weekend everyone!
We have had another busy week in Year 5 and 6. We have continued to work on poetry in English, learning how punctuation affects how a poem is read and enhances meaning.
Next week, we will be writing some of our own. Watch this space, as we will post some of the children's work in next Friday's blog.
HOMEWORK
Homework pages have been uploaded to Google Classroom. Please make sure your child checks the page to find out what they have been set.
We have been receiving limited homework from children and would like to ask that you encourage your children to complete what is set for them each week, especially if they are in Year 6. Homework should be handed in by Wednesday of each week.
A MESSAGE FROM MISS HARVEY
Buy books, change lives
Want to support our school?
Buy books through LoveReading and LoveReading4Kids and we get 25% of the cover price to buy more books!
The LoveReading family — LoveReading, LoveReading4Kids and
LoveReading4Schools — exists because reading matters, and books change lives.
We know that reading for pleasure, and improving reading standards, has a huge
impact on our children’s wellbeing, academic achievements, and future success.
Alongside that, we also know that the current funding crisis has resulted in
devastating cuts to budgets in our schools, which is why LoveReading is redressing
that shortfall through creating an online bookstore with social purpose.
How it works:
● When you buy any book from LoveReading or LoveReading4Kids, 25% of the
cover price will be given to a school of your choice, such as us!
● Book prices are competitive with at least 10% off the RRP
● After you’ve searched for the books you’d like to buy (after reading reviews
and accessing opening extracts of highly recommended titles), at checkout,
you’ll be able to search for your school, by adding your school name or
postcode, and you allocate that money to us. It will even tell you how much
your purchase has donated to us!
● We can then spend our allocated funds on LoveReading4Kids to get more
books in our classrooms and library.
LoveReading has a huge selection of books for all ages, across all genres, at
competitive prices, so make LoveReading and LoveReading4Kids your go-to
bookshops to give our school the chance to access more books.
Sounds like a win-win situation - you get great books, while we get funds for great
books to encourage even more reading for pleasure in our children..
Like we said at the start, reading matters and books change lives - buying books
through LoveReading will ensure that continues to happen for students at our
school, and future generations.
Thank you for your ongoing support!
That's all from us for this week!
Remember, if you need to contact one of us, please send us an email to year5_6@downhallprimary.com
Have a lovely weekend.
Miss Sharman, Mrs Devlin and Mrs Witherall
