Year 5/6 Blogpost 17.10.25

Dear Parents,

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!

WHOLE SCHOOL SUMDOG COMPETITION

Calling all of you amazing mathematicians! 

You have been entered into the Maths Week East of England Sumdog Competition.

It starts on 17th October at 3.30pm, and finishes at 3.30pm on 23rd October.

Why not have a go and get your class on the school leaderboard?

I will be monitoring how well each class is doing.

The winning class will get extra playtime!

Let's show our school what great mathematicians we are!

Good luck.

Mrs Hurley 👍

  • Reading: Remember 15-20 minutes reading to an adult every day is the optimum and should be continuing into Years 5 and 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.
  • Spelling words - please practise these at home by revising them from your spelling and times table notebook and by writing them down. Don't forget to use Spelling Frame to support your learning. Next week we are looking at Spelling Rule 43 - Adding suffixes beginning with vowel letters to words ending in –fer
  • Times table practise - next week we are looking at 9s. Please practise these at home by revising them from your spelling and times table notebook and by writing them down.
  • TTRS/Sumdog - lots of practise on these amazing programmes that complement what we learn at school. Please see your reading diaries for log in details.

Have a fab weekend,
Mrs. Hurley, Miss Harvey & Mr. Greenfield
