Hi everyone and welcome back to our weekly blog 😊

Looking ahead to next week, we will be spending lots of time making props and rehearsing for our Christmas Play which we cannot wait to share with you virtually.

In maths we will be making connections between addition and subtraction by looking at inverse operations. We will also use our knowledge of these operations to solve tricky problems.

In our writing lessons, we will be using our plans from last week to help us write a newspaper article announcing Annie Edson Taylor’s arrival to Niagara Falls to carry out her daredevil feat. We will also continue to build on our knowledge of fronted adverbials.

In topic, we will be using our map skills to develop our locational knowledge of Northwich. We will be using OS maps and six-figure grid references to identify different features of the local area.

In our reading lessons next week, we will continue to explore our new text ‘Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls’. Our focus remains on drawing inferences based on information stated and implied, including characters’ thoughts, feelings and motives. We will also begin to make comparisons between the various inspirational woman we have read about.

Our spellings for the quiz on Friday 27^th November will be the first 10 spellings from the Year 5/6 statutory word list:

accommodate, accompany, according, achieve, aggressive, amateur, ancient, apparent, appreciate, attached

These spellings are a lot trickier than previous spellings as they do not follow a particular spelling rule and simply need to be learnt. Please reassure your child that these words will continue to be revised for the next 2 years in school and that they can only try their best 😊

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

If you have any questions of queries please do not hesitate to contact me via the school admin email address or telephone 😊
