Lent Reading Challenge

For Lent, we have decided, as a class, to take on a class reading challenge. By the end of term, we - Year 5, Mrs McVey, Mrs Hodgkiss and Miss Andrew - will read one of three books (chosen by the children). In the last week before we break up, we will celebrate our reading achievement by sharing our thoughts on the book with a book club party. Please encourage your child to read their chosen book to enable them to enjoy our book club at the end of term. You never know, some children might even go the extra mile and end up reading all three (Now there’s a challenge!).

Half term homework 15/10/24

Over half term, try to keep up with your reading📚. We will update diaries and bookmarks when we return to school after half term.

Moon watch - don’t forget to keep note of what the moon looks like each night - if it’s visible! 🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘

No online learning will be set for over half term. However, to support our next geography lesson, please complete the following and bring back to school by Tuesday 29th October.🗺️

Draw a neatly detailed map of your route to school (in pencil) labelling roads and important natural and human features along the way. It is not necessary to name all roads or draw all houses/buildings along the way, as there will be too many. For example, you could name the main roads and include your house, trees, fields, places where you cross the road, shops, parks, churches, school crossing patrols. A key of symbols used on your map should be included. These symbols could be in different colours using coloured pencils.

We will be using these maps to create a digital map of your journey to school. So, on the back of your work write down the name of the road and postcode you live on, so you can identify where you live on an ordnance survey map.

Paper will be sent home today for the children to draw out their map.

An example is included below.
