A big thank you to all those who came to support the children during the sharing of their learning journey. The children did a wonderful job and we are all very proud of them.

Maths - Sports week
Next week is Maths week and this year we have organised a sports focus for each year group participating in a friendly competition. Year 5 will be investigating perimeter and area outside of the classroom, around the playground. This fits in with our current strand unit on length.
Homework this week
As your children are now in the upper school, they are expected to be completing 30-45 minutes of homework each night. This will be made up of: approx 15-20 minutes reading with an adult, 10-15 spelling work, and their weekly assigned task.
