This week the children have been learning about percentages and how they link to fractions. They have also been finding fractions of amounts. In English, they have written character descriptions, sequenced events from the story and planned their narrative.

Please continue to work on the spelling lists sent home, using the strategies given. Go over the recent list of spellings that were sent home to ensure they have been learnt correctly.

The children read well at the Advent Service and enjoyed showing some of their ‘Advent Journey’ posters. We look forward to hearing more readers at the Carol Service next week as well as listening to some wonderful singing.

This week Lillie Churcher (5E) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave her to always work hard and be a kind, caring member of the class who always has a smile on her face’ and Alicia Lea (5E) has her writing displayed on the showstoppers wall. Mrs Turner will catch up with her class when she returns.

We hope to see many of you at the Carol Service next Wednesday, starting at 6p.m. The children who are taking part will need to arrive a little bit before and will need to be wearing their school uniform.

Have a lovely weekend,

The Year 5 team
