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.
Spring is marching our way in big steps.
What signs of Spring have you spotted yet … early sunrises, birds tweeting or nesting, the first pretty flowers, buds on trees and shrubs, bees out foraging …?
Please find here our timetable for the week ahead.
We can’t wait to see you all back in our live sessions, support drop-ins and storytelling events.
Miss Winser, Mrs Verma, Mrs Brown & Mr Grundey
Unbelievable!!!
The first half-term of this calendar year is nearing its end and we all have learnt so much about learning from the distance. If you are very observant, you will have already spotted the first signs of Spring around as well.
Let’s keep the spirit up and carry it into a new exciting and short week.
On Thursday, we will tell you in more detail what tasks we are preparing for your holidays since no one can go anywhere anyway and you might be searching for things to do and move you forward.
All the best,
Your Year 5 team
