(A parents meeting will be arranged soon). Year 5 will, at these times, be involved in a project with Mrs Neate-Clegg . Homework will continue to be set on a Friday to be handed in by the following Thursday. This will usually alternate between maths and English but may also include topic, science or SAT revision. Homework can be emailed to the class email, willow@yetminster.dorset.sch.uk, and will, when possible, be available on willow section of the website to view (saving on paper- as we are an eco-school) Don't forget to continue to complete the reading journal and an activity each week (for reading, library and home book). Regular home reading continues to be a very important part of your child's learning please sign and date your child's reading record when they have read to an adult. Don't forget to check out the school website for links to help with homework and revision. We have PE on Monday (gymnastics) and Thursday so please ensure that children have their PE kits in school and that they are clearly labeled. Please encourage your child to bring a (named) water bottle to school each day. Kind Regards Miss S Coysh Willow Class teacher. |
