Year 5 Class blog
Friday 6th September 2024
Year 5 have made an excellent start to the new school year, showing a very mature attitude and fantastic behaviour! They have set an excellent example to the younger pupils and our new Play Leaders are doing an excellent job at lunch times looking after them and building new friendships.
In Maths this week, we have revised our understanding of Roman Numerals to 100 ready to look at how to represent numbers to 1000 next week. The pupils have really enjoyed this topic and are definitely ready to look at representing larger numbers next week.
In English, we have focused on reading skills, handwriting and spelling. Myself and Mrs Jones have been very impressed with their presentation and pupils will soon be earning their handwriting pens! We have read about ancient sea creatures and revised the skill of text marking and annotating to help answer questions about the text.
Elsewhere in the curriculum, pupils have looked at what it means to be aspirational and considered their own aspirations for Year 5 and beyond. We have looked at online safety in Computing and revised phonics in Spanish.
Next Tuesday swimming will start – something which pupils are very excited about! Pupils need to come into school in their PE kits and remember their swimming kits!
Don’t forget that pupils need to read at least three times a week and bring their books and reading diaries into school every day. Spellings will be set in the next week or so and I will confirm via Class Dojo when the weekly spelling test will be.
If you have any questions please do contact us via Dojo or speak to us at the classroom door at drop off/collection times.
Have a lovely weekend!
