Week 2 – Recap

Highlights:
Year 5 have once again really impressed me this week. The children have finished their setting descriptions and they have honestly blown me away, I can not believe how much thought, time and effort has been spent on their work. As a class year 5 have not said no to any task this week and they have attacked it with full force.

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! they are also starting a new English unit of character descriptions.
Our P.E slots this week are Monday and Thursday so if they can please come in P.E kit these days.

Spellings: The spellings are as followed:

redecorate
mention
position
weather
whether
obvious
completion
mountainous
tongue
scheme

Class Focus:
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. (We are smashing this!!! keep it up!!)

Homework:
The children have some math questions to finish and bring back to the class on Tuesday. This is addition and subtraction. Some of the children finished this in class and will therefore have no homework.

THE LAST WEEK!!!!

First of all I would like to say a huge thank you to year 5. The class have been absolutely amazing and have made me laugh and smile more than I could ever imagine. Some of the memories we have made over the last 12 months I hope we will remember for a very long time, such as, Lemon face, never winning an argument and lets not forget the most important memory, residential.

This class will always have a special place in my heart as they are my first ever class as a teacher, they have made this year perfect for me in every way possible. I would like to wish year 5 a great summer holidays and I hope it is filled with fun but stay safe!

Lastly, Good luck in year 6 you guys will absolutely smash it

Mr T

Week 36 – Recap

A work filled week for our year 5’s! Well done for the amount of effort you have put in! However unfortunately our reading score doesn’t reflect this with only 70%. Next week is our Design and Technology week where the children will be creating Mexican food dishes! These will all be available to buy at our summer fair on Friday next week!!

Our spellings have finished for the year so the Year 5’s do not have anything for this week.

Homework.

Can the children spend 20/25 minutes looking at recipes for a Mexican chilli dish, they need to understand the method, how to cook it and what they need to get prepared. This will help them next week when we are actually cooking the dish.

I would like 4 reads these need signatures! also at least 30 minutes on TT Rockstar’s before Wednesday.
