This week has been dominated by the residential visit to Runway’s End. The children had an amazing time, working collaboratively, setting themselves challenging goals and encouraging one another to achieve them.

At school the children have been developing their skills in using a formula to measure area and solving problems involving all 4 operations. In English, they have continued to study ‘Carrie’s War’. They have written an informal letter in character.

No homework has been set this week due to the residential at Runway’s End. However, children should still be revising their multiplication knowledge, reading and completing another section of their homework pyramid. The children have also been introduced to ‘Sumdog’ (www.sumdog.com) which they enjoyed. They all have their personal logins so that it can be accessed at home too.

This week Ethan Baker (5E) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave him to work collaboratively and for encouraging others’ and Elea De Vos (5E) has her writing displayed on the showstoppers wall. 5T were at Runway’s End for the Golden Leaf Assembly.

Have a restful weekend,

The Year 5 team
