Year 5/6 Blogpost 18.10.24

Happy Friday one and all. We hope you've had a great week and are looking forward to October half term next week. It's hard to believe that we have been learning for 7 weeks - we have crammed so much in this term!

World Food Day

What a day we had in school! It was wonderful cooking with all the children and trying out so many foods. Please check out our school newsletter for all the action!

Year 5 Danbury Residential

We hope that the Year 5s a had a fantastic time at their Danbury residential trip. I am sure we will hear all about it on their return to school on Monday. Keep a look out for photos in next week's school newsletter.

  • Reading: Remember 15-20 minutes reading to an adult every day is the optimum and should be continuing into Year 6. Please also encourage your child to read by themselves and then discuss the text afterwards, sharing opinions, their favourite part or questioning what happened so as to ensure that your child is understanding the text as well as reading it. All children have a Reading Record to take home.
  • Spelling words - please practise these at home by revising them from your spelling and times table notebook and by writing them down. This week we are up to Spelling rule 43 - Adding suffixes beginning with vowel letters to words ending in –fer.
  • Times table practise - next week we are looking at 6’s. Please practise these at home by revising them from your spelling and times table notebook and by writing them down.
  • TTRS/Sumdog - lots of practice on these amazing programmes that complement what we learn at school. Please see your reading diaries for login details or message your class teacher using Dojo.

We hope that you have a wonderful weekend!
