Class 4 Blog

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!

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. 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. 

Homework:

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.

A really productive week for year 5 this week. The independent working has really improved and the children are understanding how to work things out without coming to me straight away, this task is still on going but the first week was a huge improvement on last week.

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.

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!
