Welcome back to the second half of the spring term, Year 5! The good news is that we will all be able to return to school from the 8th March. We are all looking forward to having everyone in classes teaching you face-to-face, letting you socialise with the others in your year group and generally moving towards ‘normal’ school life again.

Half term sounded busy for lots of you – walking, cycling, dance exams, board game marathons and virtual sleepovers being just a few of the things we’ve heard about. You’ve come back to learning with renewed eagerness and there has been some amazing work produced already. Please see below just a snippet of the amazing work that has gone on so far.

A few reminders:

The last 3 chapters of Dolphin Boy have been uploaded on Teams for you to listen to. Lots of people have been enjoying Mrs Porter’s story time and have become totally immersed in the text.

Talking of stories… the epic St Peter’s Bedtime Stories is back! From Thursday 25th there will be a new bedtime story every evening saved onto the blog. (KS2 bedtime stories) The links will also be on the St Peter’s Facebook page, so you can access the stories in a variety of ways. We uploaded the links to Teams for yesterday’s bedtime story too.

There are multiplication and arithmetic tasks set, for you to complete on Sumdog. This went live yesterday and you have until midday next Thursday (4th March) to complete the tasks.

P.E. will be next Thursday 4th March, for those of you in school. You will need to wear your P.E. kit that day.

Please keep working through your Year 5 Must Read books as well as continuing with your spring term Reading Passport.

Enjoy the weekend – it looks like the sun will be out, temperature’s are up and England take on Wales in the Six Nations,

The Year 5 Team
