Our spelling focus for the current cycle is homophones.
We will be looking at a range of different homophones that you could practise at home.
The week beginning 30th January will be ‘Maths Week’ and we will have lots of fun things happening in school to raise the profile of maths.
Below are some dates that you may want to know in advance:
Thursday 2nd February 2pm – 4pm : Maths drop in session
Join us in the hall to play some fun maths games with your child/ren between the times of 2pm and 4pm. Feel free to drop in at anytime between these times. This will be led by the Learning Council so please come along to support.
Friday 3rd February: NSPCC Number dress up day!
On Friday 3rd, we are encouraging the children to dress up in maths and number related outfits to raise money for the NSPCC charity. Suggested donation is £1.
Year 5 will now have PE every Thursday. This term we will be doing hockey. We will be outside when we can so please bring warm clothes.
Children do not need an XP Outdoors kit as they will be doing French this term.
Last week, we started the first case study of our new expedition. We were remembering everything we learnt about light last year as well as looking at the eye. This week we are going to continue thinking about how our eyes are similar and different to cameras.
All the children in year 5 and 6 worked really hard last week to bake and decorate shortbread and gingerbread ready for the Christmas Fair. They all looked delicious – a fantastic job everyone!
We all enjoyed working with our crew to make our wood cookies. I wonder who’s got theirs on their tree.
