First all we would like to thank all the parents who attended parents evening, thank you for coming and trying to stick to your times we appreciate it.
Some of our children went to The Cathedral of Christ the King in Liverpool this week. They went to present the money we raised during out lent fundraising. They had a lovely time at the Cathedral and we would like to thank everyone in school contributed to the cause.
We have another busy week this week as usual so let's get down to it.
Literacy
The literacy homework for Year 5's this week will involved them coming home with a picture that has a titles and a sentence underneath it. They will have to use this sentence as a start for them to write a story. They can use the writing levelling system that they used to level their writing at home a few weeks ago to see what they need to include to take their writing up to the next level.
During their literacy lessons the Year 5 children will move from persuasive writing to looking at non-chronological reports. They will be focusing on identifying the features and planning their own report. They will plan a report to write to an alien about our school. They are going to be using the non chronological planning skeleton to plan their report under different headings.
The Year 6 children will be carrying on with their revision and looking at the different types of non-fiction writing this week.
Numeracy
This week Miss Wright's and Mrs Morgan's group will be moving on from written formal methods of addition to formal methods of subtraction. The children have visited these topics before but they need constant review in order for them to use them effectively and successfully.
They will be subtracting integers of less than 10000 using formal written methods and subtracting numbers with upto 2 decimal places.
They will be using the method that parents were more than likely taught at school, where a number borrows from the number next to it (decomposition).
Mr Barker and Mrs Millington's group are still working really hard with their revision, please look at previous blogspots for revision websites.
