Class 5

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our Class Assembly at the end of last week. It was great to see you, and we were really proud of the children's efforts!

Thanks also to the adults who joined us on Monday to help with making the long-awaited bolognese sauce. The children loved this activity and many of them have come in to tell us how much they enjoyed eating the finished product.

We have also enjoyed sharing your children's progress with you at the parent consultations. For anyone who was unable to attend at the last minute, we will get in touch soon to make sure that you also have a chance to catch up.

Our KS2 home learning club will continue after half term. If your child hasn't been yet, why not encourage them to come along soon? It's a lovely, calm way to keep on top of their independent learning with just a little help if needed.

Finally, your child may have mentioned that they have been asked not to bring their own stationery into class for the time being. This is because issues with with lost equipment have been preventing the children from getting on. Keeping things simple is already making a positive difference, so we will keep things this way while the children secure their organisation skills.

We hope that you will have a lovely half term when it comes, and we look forward to seeing everyone back, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed after a well-deserved holiday!

All the best,

Miss Newman

Home Learning to be handed in on Tuesday 21st October
This week the children have been set an activity named ‘Decimals Worksheet’ on MyMaths. This supports the current work we are doing on revising and extending place value. 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 child 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.
