Welcome to London Bridge Class
Class Teacher: Miss S. Winser (Howard’s Curriculum Lead)
Teaching Assistant: Mrs R. Verma
Homework:
Handed out on Fridays,
Returned by Wednesday,
Please remember that homework is an important building stone in the child’s learning and development. The children will receive Dojo-Points for completed homework as well as particularly outstanding contributions.
Daily Reading:
To help further develop the children’s reading and academic development, please support and encourage the children to read daily for at least 10 minutes. This daily reading should then be recorded (title + pages) in the Learning Diary. We would kindly ask parents to sign/initial the record.
The children will receive Dojo-Points for daily reading.
Recommended reading books for Year 5:
Best Books for Year 5 | Ages 9-10 | BooksForTopics
Expertly selected books for 9 and 10 year old children (lovereading4kids.co.uk)
Reading Activities:
Once the children have completed reading a book, they then choose an activity related to the book (e.g. book-review, letter to the author, sequel, character profile, alternative cover etc.). This activity is completed in the child’s Reading Journal. Our wonderful teaching assistants will then check, feedback and record the completion of these activities.
The children will receive multiple Dojo-Points to reward exceptional work.
PE:
Our current P.E. days are Tuesday and Wednesday with Miss Handley.
Here are the first pictures from our Greek Workshop today. It was amazing to see how active and engaged the children were in the activities, the “fire of learning” was burning like mad. We are so grateful to the parent helpers, without you we would not have been able to run all the activities that the kids loved so much. The biggest thank you goes to Fiona from History off the page – as always, she has been awesome. Almost 60 children were sitting silently and were glued to her stories. Fabulous!
We healed the ill, made mosaics, created the most beautiful artwork/tiles, carved into soap, made oil lamps … and finished the day with acting, dancing and feasting.
First of all, “Happy New Year” to all children and adults.
This marks the beginning of a short, but shockingly intense term. We are starting with a very exciting week. On Wednesday, hopefully everybody will be dressed up for our Greek Day.
Apart from that, we will be learning …
