This week the children have been consolidating their knowledge about time and reading timetables. In English, they have been editing and publishing their text related to the Egyptian topic they have chosen.

For homework over the holidays the children will need to recap spellings from the Year 5 and 6 spelling list; Mymaths and they need to complete the Sacaments homework in their Home Learning Diaries (found after the 26^th June page). This homework is due by the first Friday back in school (8^th Sept). Children are more than welcome to bring their homework in earlier that week if they have completed it.

This week Imogen Rivers (5E) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave her to write a reflective response during R.E’. Jonathan Smith (5F) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave him to always work hard and be kind towards others.’

There was no showstopper writing as attendance awards were handed out.

Today Year 5 had a visit from the Betty Bus organisation to consolidate their SRE learning this half term. The people who ran the workshops were very impressed with our children’s knowledge and caring attitudes.

Well done to Year 5 for having the highest attendance and punctuality throughout the year (see parent mail)!

Have a lovely weekend,

The Year 5 team

This week the children have been recapping their knowledge of finding volume and also finding area and perimeters of simple and composite shapes. In English, they have been writing their text related to the Egyptian topic they have chosen. They have also enjoyed a ‘morning of mummification’ – learning about the Ancient Egyptian process, complete with all the gory bits!

For homework the children have 6 spellings with the ‘ci pattern; Mymaths and they need to complete a section from the homework pyramid. This homework is due by next Friday (21st July). Children are more than welcome to bring their homework in early if they have completed it.

This week Andrew Pearson (5E) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave him for always helping set up the classes in the morning, doing small jobs and using his time wisely to comlete work’ and Gabriel Ryan (5E) has his writing displayed on the showstoppers wall. Sophie Cunningham (5F) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave her to always work hard and strive to improve her work.’ Omoniyi Akintunde (5F) has his work on the showstoppers wall too.

We hope the children had a lovely full transition day in Year 6 and will be refreshed for Monday from the weekend break.
