Welcome Back!

Welcome back to Spring 2.

We hope you all had a lovely half term and were able to get some rest.

Year 5 have already been working so hard in maths continuing their journey through fractions and consolidating their times tables skills. Please ensure your child is still revising their times tables as it will help them all feel confident in their learning.

This term for Topic we have started learning about North America. We were so glad to see such amazing projects produced by some children over the half term and look forward to learning all the amazing, interesting facts about the countries in NA, which we have already started to do.

Thank you in advance for your continuous support with reading records and homework.

Information:

P.E. has now changed for both classes to Tuesday so can children bring their P.E kits in.

Have a lovely weekend,

Year 5 team 🙂
