Happy Friday everyone!

Well done Year 5, were nearly there! Keep on going with your hard work and great efforts. We have been really impressed with your perseverance and continuing efforts towards your work.

As we have been focussing on using our descriptive toolkit in the last few weeks, we would like you to particularly focus on fronted adverbials for this weeks homework. Please complete the challenge which you usually would in class. Thank you!

We would also like you to keep using TTRS to polish up your times tables knowledge. Practising little and often allows you to really embed your times tables knowledge, which will 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.

Please 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.   

Attached below, you will find some resources to support your child's learning at home. They detail our KIRFs and elements of our curriculum that you may wish to look at with your child as discussed at the start of the year and at parents evening.

Many thanks,

The Year 5 team.
