Week 5 has been another great one for the year 5s. We have started writing and upleveling our descriptive settings, continued enjoying our novel 'Floodlands', mastered reflection in maths and enjoyed some more sunny weather!

Notices:

Next week, the children need their P.E. kits on Monday and Thursday although we do ask them to be in school all week if possible. Earrings should be removed before school please. Please ensure children have a suitable outdoor kit on Monday (white t-shirt, a warm jumper, jogging bottoms and trainers).

Please encourage the children to spend a little time each day reading, which we would be grateful if you logged on boomreader so that the children get dojos in school, practise their spelling patterns and spend a little time working on mastering their times tables.

We have the Big Talk day on Monday which the children will really enjoy. 

School photos are Wednesday so hopefully we can continue having some nice weather and get these taken outside - make sure the children's hair is beautiful!

We also have our penultimate Tech She Can lesson on Wednesday - the children have enjoyed all the lessons so far so we're really looking forward to this!

On Thursday, we are being visited by the Boggledy Book Fair and enjoying taking part in a baton relay.

On Friday, we are cashing in some of our attendance wheel rewards so 5M have a non-uniform day as well as some fun activities in the afternoon and 5B are also having a reward afternoon.

Next week's learning:
- In maths, we will continue working with decimal numbers.
- In reading, we will practise answering questions around our novel - Floodlands
