Writing! We are really going to be looking at our writing and also how we make our sentences work! The whole school is focusing on their writing. This includes handwriting, presentation, punctuation and spelling. The children have really started to take so much care with their work and it is amazing to see. I WANT THIS TO CARRY ON!!!

Resilience! I would like the children to focus on trying to work independently, this means trying their best to find an answer or figure something out before coming to an adult. This is very tricky to do so this will be a focus for a while.

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.

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. ( can we please try and ensure this is happening every week please )

Homework:

To do some research on how the the London underground looks! what does it look like, what do the trains look like and the platforms!

Year 5 have been seriously put through their paces these first couple of months but they have impressed me every single week. As Christmas is fast approaching the children have got a lot going on over the next few weeks so we are going to be super busy once again!

Year 5 have had a really hard week this week. Year 5 have been focusing on working more independently and trying to use resilience to answer their questions. This is a task that is naturally very hard to do for a year 5 class but these guys have given it their all, this is something we will be focusing more on in year 5 but for their very first week they have impressed me. The class have started their new guided reading text “Boy at the back of the class” this is a text that is quite challenging for year 5 but they have shown a real interest and are already heavily invested.

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.
