A special well done to these pupils this week!
This week, we have held our elections for Oak Tree’s class representative for the school council. I was so impressed that all of these children bravely put themselves forward: Erica, Luna and Louise. All had promising manifestoes, but ultimately, Ericawon! Congratulations, Erica– we look forward to your new role!
Ukulele lessons have been progressing very well in Year 5. The Harry Potter theme is now recognisable (!) and we also had a lot of fun picking our way through an AC/DC riff!
We have completed all work on Place Value in maths lessons this week, but certain aspects of it were very tricky, so we may have to re-visit this over the year. (Any help you can give your child in recognising the value of digits and rounding larger numbers to 10, 100 and 1000 would be very worthwhile at this point.)
We have begun to work our way through addition and subtraction too. Homework will be on consolidating the skills of rounding…
I hope you all have a fab weekend – please send in more long cardboard tubes for Design Technology this term.
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
PS Could you please remind your children that a break time snack needs to be a healthy part of their lunchbox! A piece of fruit is ideal. Thank you.
