Welcome to Year 5!

It was great to see so many of you at the Meet the Teacher meeting on Tuesday. The children are settling well into year 5 and we are already having fun with our learning.

The children have chosen reading books from the class library, so please do ensure they are reading at least 5 times a week and recording it in their reading records. We only ask that you sign it at least once a week, as they are old enough to do most of the writing for you now!

We have just set the first home learning of the term. As mentioned on Tuesday, regular engagement with the home learning tasks has a real impact on classroom learning as we use it all in the classroom, and regular practice supports memory and confidence. Please do not hesitate to get in touch should you experience any difficulties with accessing the tasks.

There is a screen print of the homework sheet below, but since the resolution is poor, I have also attached the file in the green box at the bottom of the page. Hopefully, as we get used to the features of our new website, we will be able to make this a little more user-friendly.

All the best,

Miss Newman

Mrs. Eder
