This week the children have been using their addition and subtraction skills to solve word problems. In English, they have begun to familiarise themselves with the text, ‘Carrie’s War’. They have been thinking carefully about characterisation and using expanded noun phrases.
For homework the children have to complete the next section of their World War II pyramid by Friday, 6th October.
Practise their times tables in preparation for our next unit on multiplication and division.
Practise their spellings: we have been learning about words with the letter string ough and suffixes able and ible. Use their preferred strategies to practise and learn these words. They will be tested on them on Monday, as well as a few other words that follow the same patterns, so they will need to do some investigation.

This week Vincent Inman (5E) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave him for being committed to improving work in all subjects’ and Orla Carey (5E) has her writing displayed on the showstoppers wall. Monet Lewendon (5T) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave her to be kind and helpful to other people.’ Freya Bijumon (5T) has her work on the showstoppers wall too.
A quick reminder: please could we have any medical forms, for Runways End, by Monday.
Enjoy your weekend,
The Year 5 team
