Welcome to London Bridge Class
Class Teacher: Miss S. Winser (Howard’s Curriculum Lead)
Teaching Assistant: Mrs R. Verma
Homework:
Handed out on Fridays,
Returned by Wednesday,
Please remember that homework is an important building stone in the child’s learning and development. The children will receive Dojo-Points for completed homework as well as particularly outstanding contributions.
Daily Reading:
To help further develop the children’s reading and academic development, please support and encourage the children to read daily for at least 10 minutes. This daily reading should then be recorded (title + pages) in the Learning Diary. We would kindly ask parents to sign/initial the record.
The children will receive Dojo-Points for daily reading.
Recommended reading books for Year 5:
Best Books for Year 5 | Ages 9-10 | BooksForTopics
Expertly selected books for 9 and 10 year old children (lovereading4kids.co.uk)
Reading Activities:
Once the children have completed reading a book, they then choose an activity related to the book (e.g. book-review, letter to the author, sequel, character profile, alternative cover etc.). This activity is completed in the child’s Reading Journal. Our wonderful teaching assistants will then check, feedback and record the completion of these activities.
The children will receive multiple Dojo-Points to reward exceptional work.
PE:
Our current P.E. days are Tuesday and Wednesday with Miss Handley.
… Pinch-punch first of the month, everybody.
Unbelievable, this is the beginning of the third month of the year and the last week (for now) of our home-learning before we will return to school in one week’s time.
A lot of excitement is waiting for us, particularly on Thursday, when we will be celebrating World-Book-Day. Bring your favourite quote (sentence from a story) to our live-session. We will continue with our daily storytelling and you will finally find out, whether Lila will become a true Firework-Maker.
In Maths as well as Science, we are starting a new topic this week. In Music, we will also try something slightly different this week, before Mr Regan returns on the 10th March in school. So, we can’t wait to start. Have a look at our timetable below.
See you soon and have a wonderful week,
Miss Winser, Mrs Verma, Mrs Brown & Mr Grundey
