Happy Friday all and happy half term! 

What a fantastic first half term it’s been! A huge thank you to all who came along to our parent consultations this week. It was lovely to catch up with you and chat about how well the children have settled into Year 5. 

I hope you all have a relaxing and enjoyable half-term break. I hope to see lots of you at our Fireworks Event on 1st November. It should be a brilliant evening and if you are able to volunteer at the event, please get in touch!

Homework

CGP Books (Maths and English): One piece per week, alternating between the two subjects. I will specify on the blog which topic will be covered and when it is due in. 

Reading 5 x 10-minute sessions a week aloud to an adult. Please record this in your reading record. 

Spellings: Weekly spelling practice and tests. Spelling tests are Mondays. The spellings will be available on the blog each Monday for the children to learn them at home over the week.

Have a great week!
