This week the children have been working on numbers with up to three decimal places, ordering them on a number line and adding them. In English, they have been writing and editing their adventure stories and are almost ready to publish them.

Please continue to work on the spelling lists, using the strategies given. Also help children to learn words containing ei or ie.

This week Orla Carey (5E) received the golden leaf award for always working hard and doing his best. Sophie Kidd (5E) has her writing displayed on the showstoppers wall. Kristopher Baker (5T) received the golden leaf award for his effort and improvement in Maths. Nicolas Renji (5T) has his writing on the showstopper wall too.

As Mr. Cunningham has written in his blog, several children from Year 5 accompanied him to Basingstoke yesterday to present our Prayer Garden plans to a panel of judges. They thoroughly enjoyed their day and came back feeling very proud of themselves. The rest of the group is looking forward to the opportunity to make a presentation to other groups of people who might help us raise funds.

Next Thursday is 5T’s last swimming lesson. The whole of Year 5 has enjoyed the swimming experience this term and it is very satisfying to see the progress made.

Have an enjoyable and relaxing weekend,

The Year 5 team.
