The children have worked hard this half term and as we go into a warm half term, our final assembly, recognising the amazing effort that Y5 put in to our swimming lessons and sponsored swim with a presentation of the money collected in 5SC. A representative from the charity ‘Smile for Wessex’ came into school for the presentation. A huge congratulations to all of year 5 for an amazing sense of stewardship in helping others.

We also finished writing and publishing our instructional text based on The Errand book. The children have been so inspired by this very creative gothic style picture book.

We asked them to evaluate their favourite part of their writing to publish in the style of the book.  This are some of the results:

Reminders

No formal homework has been set for the holidays although we have encouraged the children to read daily and practise times tables, if needed.  We have given out the creative home learning for our Ancient Egypt topic, which we will begin next half term, in case the children wish to start during the half term.

We look forward to seeing the children on Monday 5th June.

Enjoy the half term
