Welcome back! Year 5 have had a great first week back after the Christmas holidays! We have hit the ground running, starting our new English topic, our WW2 history topic! The children have really got behind all of our new topics and are putting their all into them!

perceive
Class Focus:
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. 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:
In R.W this we are focusing on people who inspire us, This was such a lovely lesson to be a part of. Therefor for homework this week I would like the children to do an A4 poster/writing/leaflet on someone who has inspired a lot of people ( not someone in their family or immediate circle )
