This week the children have been developing their understanding of shapes and types of angles. They have also been looking at persuasive writing and the propaganda used in posters.

For homework the children have Mymaths and need to complete another section from the homework pyramid. This homework is due by next Friday (16th December). Due to 6C day the children will be given their spellings on Monday. Children are more than welcome to bring their homework in early if they have completed it.

This week Mia Wilson (5E) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave her for supporting younger members of the school on the way to church’ and Harriet Withers (5E) has her writing displayed on the showstoppers wall. Omoniyi Akintunde (5F) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave him to be kind and considerate towards others’. George Crocker (5F) has his work on the showstoppers wall too.

Well done to all the children for helping the younger members of the school to get to and from the Advent service safely. The service was lovely, the children were well behaved and all the people who had a special part to play did extremely well. Thanks to the children who attended the carol service – it was a beautiful start to Christmas. Thanks also for any donations made to CAFOD.

The children have enjoyed their 6C day today, completing a variety of activities and did an amazing job of completing their ‘Mile for Maisie’ with large smiles on their faces! Thank you for the donations made towards the Air Ambulance.

Have a peaceful weekend,

The Year 5 team
