This week the children have been using their understanding of fractions, decimals and percentages to solve problems. In English, they have started a new topic about superheroes in response to an advert from Marvel. We are learning about persuasive language and description.

Please continue to work on the spelling lists, using the strategies given. This week they are doing some specific Year 3/ 4 revision and have a list of the words given. Also, remind children to learn words from their personal spelling lists. Reading comprehension homework is due on Monday, when another one will be sent home.

This week Nathan Jose (5E) received the golden leaf award for being a really good role model and consistently working hard in all areas of the curriculum. Lillie Churcher (5E) has her writing displayed on the showstoppers wall. Emma Mpario (5T) received the golden leaf award for being polite, helpful and responsible. Tia Abbinnett (5T) has her writing on the showstopper wall.

If the weather continues to be as glorious as it has been this week, please ensure your child has a hat and sunscreen. It is even more important than usual for them to have a named water bottle in school.

Have a lovely weekend,

The Year 5 team
