Spelling shed!

It is fantastic to see that Year 5 have been playing lots on spelling shed this week!

Set 1 you are top of the school again with set 2 in 8th and set 3 in 9th.

Shout outs to Sophie-Mai, Heidi and Robyn who are all in the top 10 of the whole school. Nathan, George and Mason you are all in the top 20, can you catch up with the girls this week?

Keep it up spellers!

 

Some maths resources you may wish to use!

Happy Tuesday everyone  🙂

Today’s daily lesson (21st April) is all about different methods to add and subtract. It will revise the methods we have taught you and may even teach you some new methods. Please also have a go at the practise activities.

If you need some further practise, here are some activities you can have a go at.

St George’s Day Work

Don’t forget we would like to see work this week from our children about St George and St George’s Day. Children can do anything they like- writing, pictures, designing a dragon, etc. Anything! Please see the previous post for more details. Well done to Ronnie and Reggie who have already sent in a photo of a picture they have done together at home.

Well done Sophie!

Well done to Sophie C in Y5 for winning a ‘design a scrunchie’ competition. She entered at home with her fantastic NHS themed design. We are most impressed Sophie!

Food donations needed again please.

We are really pleased that a growing number of families have received food parcels in the past week. We now know that we will need more donations coming in in order to continue this service to our school community. If you feel you are able to contribute, please drop any donations in the box which will be outside the main school office each day from 8am-3.30pm. Any food and toiletry donations would be gratefully received. Many thanks for your continued support- we know your help with this has made a huge difference to some of our families already.

Mr P’s numeracy ideas!

Each week, Mr Porteous emails the teachers links or ideas of ways to support our teaching and your learning in maths.

Here is a link to the White rose maths hub, who are launching daily online maths lessons live! Have fun!

Today’s (Monday 20th April) Year 5 Literacy lesson contains a video of Dick and Dom from CBBC reading an extract from George’s marvellous medicine by Roald Dahl. See if you can spot any similes and metaphors as you listen to the story.

Stay safe everyone and we can’t wait to see you all in school soon.

St George’s Day Project

St George’s Day

Thursday 23rd April is St George’s Day. We would love children to create art work, write stories, do some research and make a fact file, make a PowerPoint presentation, etc. You can do whatever you like about St George or how people celebrate St George’s Day and we’d then love to see your work! You can either email work, or a photo of it, to admin@stgeorgesschool.org.uk anytime before next Thursday. We can then celebrate your work on our website and Facebook page. Thank you!
