• Reading for Pleasure

What a brilliant first half term in Year 5!   As a close to our Hola Mexico! topic we have had a Mexican themed day where we have made 3D alebrije models and tried a selection of Mexican food. (See the gallery for the full selection of photos) .

It has been lovely to see our Year 5 and Year 2 children enjoying paired reading.  We have been helping the Year 2's with their sounding out, blending and comprehension and the Year 2's have been making sure we read with expression.   

(Take a look at the gallery at the bottom of the page to see all of the photos of us reading together).

Well done to these two superstars for winning the Halloween bling your bike and scooter competition.  We hope you will enjoy the Rotherham United tickets you both won.

Hi Year 5,

How are you all?  I hope you have had a great Summer break and are all rested and ready for an amazing year, - I know we are! 

I will be teaching you on a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and Mrs Lax will teach you all day on a Tuesday.  We will have Mrs Elian supporting us in a morning and Mrs Marsh in an afternoon.  

We have some fantastic topics planned for you and I can't wait to teach you all about them - starting with MEXICO this first half term.

Our class newsletter for this half term can be found by clicking the link or in the files section - Year 5 Newsletter - Autumn 1

Our start and finish times have returned to normal now so our day starts at 8:45am and hometime is 3:15pm.

Our PE days are Mondays and Thursdays and you will need to come to school in full PE kit of a white t-shirt, blue/black shorts or black tracksuit/ jogging bottoms/leggings (no fashion leggings please).  (We will not be doing PE on the first day back in school).

You still have access using your logins to TT Rockstars, Spelling Shed and  Purple Mash so please keep using them.  I have updated your times tables on TT Rockstars and you will be set a spelling challenge on Spelling Shed each week 

Enjoy your last day at home and I will see you all on Thursday 2nd September.

Take care

Mrs Long-Melton
