Class 4 Blog

Another good week from year 5 this week. The children have continued with their hard work and determination to achieve their best! One thing that has really impressed me this week is during P.E. In year 5 this week we have been focusing on Respect. The children have been showing this in numerous ways and how they can show respect to others. One thing we did this week was a team building activity. The children really focused on showing each other respect and listening to others to ensure they got the task done.

What’s happening next week:
Our P.E slots this week are Monday and Thursday so if they can please come in P.E kit these days.

Class Focus: Presentation! As a class we are focusing on the presentation of our works in our books. If the children get any spare time at all if they could practice their joint up handwriting. Fractions, I would love for the children to be practicing their fractions. As we all know these are a tricky topic and any extra work would go a mile!
Class 4’s focus this week is to keep up the hard work, get used to being in class 4 and get to grips with everything. I would like 4 reads these need signatures! also at least 30 minutes on TT Rockstar’s Per week. 

Spellings:

occur

forty

according

lightning

stomach

pronunciation

signature

criticise

immediately

attached

Homework:

The children have a little bit different homework this week. I would like the children to show 3 acts of respect/kindness around the house. If the parents could take a photo/video/email of what the children have done that would be amazing.

Highlights:
The best week by far!!! The class have put 100% into everything. After reading the children’s settings descriptions last week it is safe to say I was completely blown away with the quality!! We also learnt some more about the Tudors and what type of punishments they would have received back in Tudors times! This was an amazing lesson with the children and they produced some great diary entries as though they were a prisoner from the Tudor times!

What’s happening next week:
Over the next few weeks year 5 will be about the children settling in, I want to make the classroom feel a comfortable and safe environment for the children and a place they enjoy coming. I want to ensure the children are learning every single day with a smile on their face. The children are continuing with their topic of the Tudors which they are loving!
