Welcome to Year 5! Your children have made a fantastic start to the year, working hard and getting on with their learning immediately.
This week in Maths, the children have been recapping their understanding of place value with numbers up to 1 million. Please spend time with your child over the next week practicing reading numbers up to 1 million. They have started explore the novel Carrie’s War by Nina Bawden, looking particularly at the evacuation scenes.
This week your child has been sent home with a new spelling homework book. Children need to complete the tasks set by next Friday (14th Sept). They have also received a Reading Passport which requires them to read a wide variety of texts over the course of the term. Please encourage your child to complete this passport and read with them as much as possible. We will talk more about homework at our welcome meeting (Weds 12th at 4.15pm).
Just a reminder that there is still time to sign up for our exciting residential that begins on the 8th October.
Have an enjoyable weekend,
The Year 5 team
