Year 5 Weekly Review

Your children have been amazing this week and are settling into new school routines very nicely - well done everyone!

Maths and English

This week the children have completed the NFER reading, writing, grammar, spelling and maths papers. This enables us to accurately assess their current understanding and ensure that we can plan learning experiences that fully meet all of their individual needs. It was a lot of work and they have worked so hard, after a long time away from school. We are so proud of the mature and calm way in which they completed these assessments.

Next week we will begin working on Place Value in Maths and start reading our first text Holes by Louis Sachar in English.

PSHE

We have introduced our new whole school approach to behaviour, ‘The Zones of Regulation’. Our aim is for children to be able to recognise their emotions and when they start to move out of the Green Zone, use the strategies we have been learning about to move themselves back.  We will be working on this for the next few weeks.

Homework begins this week. Please return your homework on Wednesday.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Pixton, Mrs Harman, Miss Lapish, Mandee, Steve and Ize

 If you still have a violin or a cello at home from Year 4, please return it to school as soon as possible.  Thank you.

Please note:

Year 5 have a 3.05pm finish and need to be picked up promptly to help with social distancing.  Children with siblings with an earlier pick up time will be outside with a TA at the earlier time.

 5P have Music this half term and have PE on Mondays.

5HL have Dance on Mondays and PE on Thursdays.
