The highlight of our week has to be our geography fieldwork trip to Spring Grove Park. The children enjoyed exploring our local area and comparing its features to The Alps. We were very proud of the children who remained ready, respectful and safe at all times. A big thank you from all of the Year 5 staff to all of the parents who supported us on this visit.

Maths: Our focus will be on word problems using the correct operations (addition, subtraction multiplication, division)

English: Continuing with our traditional Christmas tale with a moral/message, the children will create and write their own narratives in this style.

Foundation: The children will be creating Christmas decorations for the year group corridor, in science they will design and position the planets and in PSHE they will be considering the decisions made around spending money.

This week’s spellings are a combination of revising previous learning and looking at new year 5/6 words

English/Reading: Worksheet

Polite reminder: At this time of term, some children are lacking in equipment to ensure they have everything they need for the school day. Please can we kindly remind you, each child requires one pencil case, including: pencil, blue handwriting pen, purple ‘polishing’ pen, whiteboard pen and ruler. If you have any difficulties in providing this equipment for child, please let their class teacher know and we can provide this.
