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.
… and here it is, the end of November! The Christmas Madness is coming closer and closer and closer.
We are looking forward to an exciting week of learning and it is only one week before we are going to be attending CMA’s concert in Minster Church.
This week’s homework: Au2-Wk4-22112019
Maths: We will continue with multiplication with a focus on multiplying 2, 3 and 4-digit numbers by two-digit numbers (visual and formal).
A little multiplication puzzle for the family. Spot similarities and differences between the methods.
English: Having created a solid base for our first film review, we will first write our guided review of “Dora the explorer – And the lost city of Gold”.
- Based on what this will have taught us in terms of Grammar, Vocabulary and Technique, the next step is to develop an independent film review. We will watch and plan so that we can independently write in the first week of December.
Art: Working hard and focused, we will cut and paint our Cardboard Relief before we can assemble it in the first week of December.
Science: Friday will see the launch of our rockets and then we will enter the amazing topic “Forces”.
Spanish: Continue and expand exchanging personal information.
PSHE: Connor, our visitor from Nuffield Health, will work with us on how to keep ourselves physically and mentally fit and healthy.
Please remember to visit us for our Rocket Exhibition after school this Thursday.
Thank you.
