Class 4 Blog

An eventful week for year 5 today! we have been doing D.T, Arts and crafts And Christmas things all week! although we have been off timetable and had a really stressful week year 5 have put their all into it so well done!!

What’s happening next week:

Christmas fair – Tuesday 17th
KS2 Play – Wednesday 18th
Our P.E slots this week are Monday and Thursday so if they can please come in P.E kit these days. I have also given the children their KS2 performance tickets, this will be in their bags.

Class Focus: 

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. 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.

Another good week for year 5. The children are working even more independently and they are proving to both me and themselves that they CAN do it!! 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!

As the children have started a new maths unit this week I think it is a huge help if the children practice this at home. Therefore I have sent a sheet home with the children for them to complete by Monday.

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.
