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.
Thank you for your hard work this week.

Maths: We will gradually be expanding our skills in mental and formal addition and subtraction.
English: We will use a range of narrative techniques to retell a key scene from our class-novel and further develop our use of expanded noun phrases.
ICT: We will continue with e-safety and giving advice on how to navigate safely online.
Science: We will re-visit the topic “Earth as a spherical body” and explore how we can prove that fact.
Art: This week should see use create the first draft/plan for our cardboard relief work.
PE: Now, we will combine, Music, PE and Science and begin creating a sequence of balances to Gustav Holst’s Planet suite (Jupiter – for maximum jollification).
