It’s been a very busy week, with parents evenings (it was lovely to see so many of you), swimming lessons and the Poetry by Heart finals.

We have been applying the skills we have learnt to solve measure problems, incorporating our use of all 4 operations, fraction and decimal work and converting of measures.

We’ve also completed our English work on Ruin and are finalising our published pieces. These will go into an envelope ready for when we hide our stories. More to come about this soon.

Our new English topic is based on extreme sports. The children have some research homework set and need to bring it back into school, to use, by the 20th March.

On the theme of homework – just to remind everyone, children should be reading and practising the multiplication facts every night. There is spelling homework based on homophones this week while Sumdog has an arithmetic test set.

**Just a reminder: please don’t forget to put some loose change into your CAFOD envelopes. Many thanks.

Have a wonderful weekend,

The Year 5 Team
