This week the children have been using a protractor to measure and draw angles. They have learnt about angles within a triangle and on a straight line as well as recapping their knowledge of different kinds of angle. Any extra practice would be helpful. In English, they have been publishing their persuasive pieces.

Please continue to work on the spelling lists, using the strategies given. Also help children practise spellings that they use frequently and make mistakes with, for example their, there and they’re.

This week Elea Da Vos (5E) received the golden leaf award for working hard to improve her understanding and striving to always do her best. Sofia Machedon (5E) has her writing displayed on the showstoppers wall. Isla Gray (5T) received the golden leaf award for consistent effort and a great attitude to learning. Alicia Richards (5T) has her writing on the showstopper wall too.

The children enjoyed their visit to the Winchester Science Museum this week. There were lots of hands-on activities for them to do and the planetarium was informative as well as entertaining.

Just a reminder that 5T will be having their swimming lessons every Thursday, starting after the half term holiday.

Enjoy your half term with your children,

The Year 5 team
