This week in the classroom

11.12.25

This week, the children have been working really hard on their independent writing - creating a story based on the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I have been really impressed by how hard they have worked and determined they have been to do a fabulous piece of writing!

In maths, we have been adding and subtracting fractions with related denominators. We have been converting fractions so that they have the same denominator. The children are confident doing this but some still need support to recall their times tables. 

Mrs Caldwell was really impressed by the progress the children have made in their swimming lessons this term. She talked about the resilience the children have shown and how they have overcome fears. 

We have also been busy preparing for our Christmas performance. The children have worked so hard to learn their lines and the show is really coming together. We are looking forward to performing next week.

In English this week we have finished our shared write based on the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I have been absolutely blown away by the effort the children have put into their writing. It is absolutely amazing and the progress since September is incredible. They should alll be really proud of themselves. 

In reading, we have continued with Reading Plus and I am seeing comprehension scores creeping up!

In maths, we have been simplifying fractions and finding equivalent fractions with a common denominator. We have also been doing our end of term assessments in maths the children have worked really hard to apply their learning. 

In music, the children have been practising Christmas songs. We do need to make sure that all instruments are in school ready for their lessons on Thursdays. 

The children have also been busy getting ready for their Christmas performance. They have worked hard to learn their lines and things are starting to come together on the stage. 

Well done Year 5/6!
