Class 5

The last week of January has been another busy one, and it's hard to believe there are only two more weeks until half term.

Please find the latest home learning below. I continue to encourage those who are not regularly managing to complete this, to come and join me in our lovely home learning club on Monday lunchtimes. Numbers are steadily going up, but there is always room for more. It's lovely to see children joining us just to enjoy a good read, too.

For those accessing the stretch work, this week's pages are as follows:

Maths: page 30

Comprehension: page 2

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at our forthcoming parents' evenings.

All the best,

Miss Newman

Home Learning to be handed in on Tuesday 3^rd February
Due to a bit of a mix-up last week, we have extended the MyMaths task, ‘Comparing mixed and improper fractions – bar model’ into this week. It is a really valuable activity to support the children’s work on fractions so we’d really like to see everyone try it. It is not our intention for home learning to cause unnecessary anxiety in the household, therefore if there any concerns, please ensure you speak to the teacher in advance of the Tuesday deadline to ensure we can put the necessary support in place.
Weekly expectations
Times tables	Reading
Please ensure your children practises their times tables daily on TTRS. This only needs to be for 5/ 10 minutes per day but daily practice is proven to lead to greater fluency.	Please ensure your child has read a minimum of 5 times and logged it into their reading record. Reading is the key to them accessing the full curriculum and they will struggle with further learning without the necessary practice.
Spellings- these will be tested on Thursdays. Please ensure they have been practised prior to this.
Group A Words with suffixes where the base word ends in -fer	Group B Challenge words
conferring	special
difference	strange
inference	difficult
preference	important
preferred	length
referee	perhaps
reference	position
referring	pressure
transference	question
transferring	purpose
Reminders
PE days this term are Wednesday and Thursday. This Friday (30^th January) is an INSET day and school will be closed for the day.
Happy learning! Mrs. Eder, Miss Newman and Miss Walters.
