On Monday, we were really lucky to have Polly Ho-Yen visit school. She is the author of books we have been reading in Guided Reading lessons and as one of our ‘Must Read’ texts. She gave a general presentation about her life, her way of writing and the books she has published to years 5 and 6 before spending time with each of the Year 5 classes in workshops.

Later on, she signed copies of her books.

On Tuesday, we celebrated Mass at school looking particularly at the missionary work by St Peter and St Paul.

Reminders:

Homework and Reading Journals are due Thursday 17th February.

5E will need their swimming kits for Thursday 17th February, ready for their first swimming session.

5SC will need to wear their P.E. kits to school for Monday 14th February.

Don’t forget that Friday 18th February will be an INSET, so school will be closed to pupils on that day.

Have a wonderful weekend,

The Year 5 Team
