Happy Easter everyone!

We're there! Well done year 5 for your hard efforts over a long half term. Keep up the good work in Summer and you will continue you fly, just as you are now!

Over the next 2 weeks, we would also like you to continue to practice your times tables by using TTRS to polish up your knowledge. Practising little and often over the holidays allows you to really embed your times tables knowledge, keep your memory of times tables solid, make you more confident when using your times tables in maths - and of course more confident for our maths challenge. Practising for 10-15 minutes a day would be our suggested time - beginning with Garage before moving onto a different TTRS game.

Again, over the break, please continue to read daily and record your reading in your reading journal. A minimum of 20 minutes daily would be our recommendation. Discussing the book with your family: likes, dislikes, any patterns and connections between this book and another text and any questions you have as a reader. If there are any words that are unfamiliar to you, please discuss them with your adults - or magpie them in a notebook for us to discuss in school.   

We look forward to hearing about all of the lovely things you get up to over the Easter break!

Many thanks,

The Year 5 team.
