Another super busy week in year 5!! We finished our alternative story in English, Which was absolutely amazing! We are now writing newspaper articles about the story we just wrote and the children are raring to go! In Geography the children are blowing me away with their knowledge and want to learn spo let’s keep that going!!!
One thing I really need from year 5 next week is reading logs. Please ensure they bring their reading log on Fridays with 3 signatures. If do get the chance to read can you try ask questions surrounding the book as the children are focusing on retrieval in guided reading at the moment.

Homework for Thursday:
Research the top 10 biggest mountains and find the 3 coolest facts about each.
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.
Homework:
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
