 The children’s school reports were sent home today. I hope you enjoy reading about all of the fantastic progress the children have been making this year. If you have any questions or would like to discuss anything further, please do not hesitate to contact me — I am always happy to arrange a conversation. Next Thursday we will be celebrating World Book Day in school. We are very excited to welcome a visiting poet, who will be working with the children during the day to inspire creativity and a love of reading and writing. Children are also invited to come to school dressed as their favourite book character. Costumes do not need to be elaborate — simple, creative ideas are absolutely welcome. We are looking forward to a fun day celebrating books, stories and imagination! Homework  CGP Books (Maths and English):  TWO  pieces per week. Maths -  p ages 31 & Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling pages 42 and 43. Due in for Friday 6th February.  Reading  5...

Happy Friday, everyone! I cannot believe we are halfway through Year 5 - time really flies when you’re having fun. It was lovely to see so many of you at the school disco last night. This week, I posted a blog update about costumes for Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies to give you an idea of the style of clothing each character might wear. Please note that these suggestions are not strict and can be interpreted in your own way - costumes do not need to look exactly the same. Costumes can be made at home or bought, depending on what is easiest for you. If you are unable to source a costume for any reason, please let me know as soon as possible and we can work together to find an alternative. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your continued support!

It’s been another busy and productive week in Year 5, with lots of fantastic learning taking place across the curriculum. The children managed to achieve 4th place in the South East England Maths Contest where there were 99 classes taking place! Amazing effort Year 5.  Robin Hood Auditions Auditions for the roles of Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies will take place on Monday next week . The children have already been given the audition piece, and this can also be found on a blog post from earlier this week for anyone who would like to practise again at home.
