This week the children have been developing their understanding of the key events during World War II. They have also been writing about Runways End so that they can produce a leaflet. They will then share the finished product with Year 4. In maths we have focused on multiplication and division. Within these areas we have been consolidating understanding of multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100 with whole numbers and decimal numbers.
For homework the children have another 6 spellings from the Year 5/6 list, Mymaths and need to complete another section from the homework pyramid. This homework is due by next Friday (21st October). Children are more than welcome to bring their homework in early if they have completed it.
This week Aidan Kelly (5E) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave him to support others within the class without being asked’ and Sandy Hardy (5E) has her writing displayed on the showstoppers wall. Thomas Gozukucuk (5F) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave him to persevere and have a mature attitude towards being in Year 5’. Samuel Clarke (5F) has his work on the showstoppers wall too.
Mr Cunningham wanted to say a big thank you to the children who have acted as guides this week and last, showing new parents around the school. They did a marvelous job explaining the school routines while demonstrating how polite and kind they are.
Please remember to send your child with a coat as the weather is becoming colder and more unpredictable.
Enjoy the weekend,
The Year 5 team
