Welcome back!

In year 5 this week...

We have started a new core book; 'The boy at the back of the class', in English and guided reading, exploring an emotive and thought provoking journey of a refugee joining a new year 5 class. We are looking forward to writing narratives, poetry and honing our VIPERS skills. 

We have started a new unit on shape in maths and I have been very impressed with Year 5’s hard work, participation in discussion and effort. 

We are learning about life cycles in Science and this week Year 5 have plotted bar charts and used secondary sources as we researched the life cycles of mammals. 

I am looking forward to the new learning this week holds!

Homework:

Times Tables sheet

Spellings 

Handwriting (in purple handwriting books)

Reading (3 times a week)

PE will take place on Mondays and Fridays. Please come into school wearing your PE kit on these days. 

If you need to get in contact for any reason please use this email address: rebeccag@spmillend.herts.sch.uk. I will aim to get back to you no later than 48 hours from receiving your email. 

Homework and reading books will be sent home on a Friday and must be returned on Thursday. Reading records need to be filled in at least three times a week and signed by an adult at home and brought into school on Fridays for us to check.

Please remember to send your child in with a water bottle and a healthy snack. If you would like your child to walk home on their own please email the school or bring a letter in to let us know.
