Homework

Maths - Could the children please do p.36 and 37 Equivalent Fractions and Decimals. We have been working on these topics with the children this week in class so just remind them to think about the strategies that they have been using.  

Also your child has been given two other revision books, one on Reading and one to revise SPAG. We ask that they complete one of the 10-minute test each week. They can do more if they wish and then can mark the work themselves. If they bring the books back on a Wednesday so we can check if they need any extra help.

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!

Intra School Football Competition

On Friday 7^th February in the afternoon we will be holding a football competition for Year 5 and 6. The format will follow the similar intra school rugby competition that we had in the Autumn Term when the children represented their House Teams. Please be mindful that our football pitch is not in the best condition at the moment so I’d advise old trainers and the children can bring in old tracksuit bottoms/hoodie to wear on the day instead of their usual PE kit.

Spellings

Our spelling words next week will focus on ei and ie words. The children will be tested on Friday 7^th February

piece, perceive, relief, deceive, achieve, ceiling, believe, receive, niece

Literacy

We have begun work on our new book – The Selfish Giant

DT

Talk to your child about their DT project and see if you can help them find any resources that they may need to construct their shelters.

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

Mrs Downing, Mrs Whittingham & Mr Beswick
