Toucans week beg. 13.01.20

Date: 8th Jan 2020 @ 5:51pm

Happy New Year to everyone! We hope everyone has had a lovely rest and are ready for a busy term ahead.

We have begun our Booster sessions in preparation for the SATs in May. These will all take place during the school day as you will have seen on the letter which you hopefully received this week.

PE

This term PE is on Thursdays with Mrs Whittingham and Fridays with Mr Ault. However, please keep PE kit in school all week as we might have extra sessions!

Spellings

Our spelling words next week will focus on the Year 5 6 Exception Words. The children will be tested on Friday 17^th January.

These are quite difficult so encourage your child to talk about the meaning of each word and to come up with a strategy to help remember how to spell it e.g. Draw around the image, trace around the word etc.

leisure, language, privilege, restaurant, achieve, secretary, stomach, yacht, soldier, physical

Maths

We have started using our new Power Maths books and our topic is fractions.

Literacy

We are continuing our writing linked to our work on the tiger

DT

This term we will be designing and making our World War 2 shelters. Could you please send in any boxes that we could use, around the size of a shoebox, also any other recyclable materials that may help in our construction of these Anderson Shelters.

Homework

You will shortly be receiving a letter about homework plans for this term which will link closely with our Booster sessions. We will be using the CGP revision guides like the one that the children had last term.

As always, just pop in and see us if you have any questions at all.

Mrs Downing, Mrs Whittingham & Mr Beswick
