Maths:
This week, we shall be: identifying the place value of numbers and ordering and comparing different numbers.

English:

This week, we shall be finishing off our diary writing from last week – focusing on the editing process. We shall also be looking at characterisation through reading our class novel.

SPAG:

We shall be focusing specifically on word classes and beginning to look at figurative language.

Reading:

In Year 5, children are responsible for changing their own books independently. We do ask that children read at home everyday and mark this by a simple comment in their homework diary. Please do encourage your child to read aloud, even though they are in Year 5, to build the stamina with their fluency.

PSHE:

As a year group, we shall be taking part in team building games and problem solving activities.
