Year 5 News

This week's golden star, Grace, along with our special mentions and reading raffle winner Boyd.  Get reading over the weekend to be in with a chance of winning next week's raffle.

 

Your children also have some homework to practise speech punctuation again and some work on adding and subtracting fractions.  All children should attempt the bronze section, many will want to tackle the silver section and some will want to give the gold section a go.  Good luck. 

 

Don't forget to have a go on Mathletics too.

 

All children who attended school yesterday were also given their usernames and passwords for Spelling Shed.  This is a website which will give children an extra opportunity to practise their spellings each week.  This week's spellings have been assigned to each child and there are several games to play.  We had a go in class and the children were most excited to play further at home.  At the moment, we are second on the leader board but have a long way to go to catch up with year 2.  Come on Year 5, let's give them a run for their money!  Also at the moment, Grace is in the lead for Year 5 with over 11 million points!  I can see that Alfie, Callum and Sonny have also been playing this weekend to try to improve their scores.  I look forward to seeing the spelling test scores next week.  Those who play most should have the best scores - how many super spellers will we have?

 

And we ended the week with a visit from BMX racer Kelvin who told us his inspirational story of many cold and dark evenings spent at Warsop BMX track in the hopes of winning the BMX world championships one day.  Not only did he win, but he brought his gold medal to show us too.  Don't forget to collect in that sponsor money everyone to try to get your wristbands and also to raise money for sports equipment for school.

Don't forget that sport day has been postponed.  It has provisionally been booked for Tuesday but keep an eye on the weather forecast!  Remember that everyone needs their PE kit in school everyday!
