We hope you have had a great first week back after your half-term break!

Well done for coming back and starting off your last half-term with a great attitude! Keep up the effort and positivity until the end of the year. We have lots of exciting things ahead to keep you pushing on!

This week, as it is a new half-term, we have been looking at our new KIRF of converting between improper fractions to mixed numbers. We would like you to remind yourselves of it further and practice this for your homework. Please complete the the sheet which you usually would in class. Grown ups, there is some useful links attached on how to use the correct method of converting.

We would also like you to continue to practice your times tables by using TTRS to polish up your knowledge. Practising little and often, whether this is at home, in the car or at the den, 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.

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.   

Many thanks,

The Year 5 team.
