Class 5 children certainly came back raring to go after the Easter holidays!

In Literacy, most of our writing activities have been themed around a new toy, the Zing Air Storm Z-Curve Bow, which children seemed to really enjoy.  They wrote a review for the Zing manufacturer/retailers, the script for a radio advert and a letter to persuade me why I should buy Class 5 a Z-Curve Bow. They also wrote instructions to get to a mystery prize on the playground, the contents of which will be revealed this week! If they have been successful in persuading me to part with my cash, they will be planning activities this week involving the toy so watch this space…

In Numeracy we looked at how factors can make multiplying 2- or 3-digit numbers easier and revised different written methods of multiplication. This week we will revisit different methods of division and the association with multiplication.

Other highlights including planning and carrying out a quick investigation in Science involving carrier bags, practical tasks creating shelter structures and starting a new P.E. unit on volleyball.

Well done Class 5 for working so enthusiastically – keep it up!

I just wanted to say well done to Class 5 children on their fantastic effort with their Easter homework. Their postcards from Brazil really showed what they have learnt during our topic and made me want to visit!

Well done also to Year 6s for getting stuck into the revision activities I gave out; we’ve started to work through these today and I will be setting further small tasks for Year 6s to do up until SATs week (May 12th onwards.)

Thank you for supporting your child with their homework tasks which is a great help to me, as well as your child.

For Celebration Assembly next Friday, please could children in Class 5 wear something colourful or something blue, green or yellow to represent the colours of the Brazilian flag. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak to me or send a message in with your child.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Year 6 parents are invited to an informal SATS meeting on Monday 17th March at 3:20 in Class 5. I will provide an overview of SATs week, discuss ways in which you can continue to support your child with SATs preparation and answer any questions you may have. Year 6 children are encouraged to attend as well and should you have difficulty in childcare for younger siblings please do not hesitate to speak to me beforehand; I am sure another member of staff would be happy to help out on this occasion and keep an eye on younger children whilst the meeting takes place, if you feel that they may not want to join us in Class 5!

Thank you.

Mrs Johnson
