This week we will be looking at the writing of Myths and Legends in literacy for Year 5 and spelling work will include prefixes and suffixes. In numeracy, we will be looking at different methods of multiplication. It would be helpful, if you could review the 'times tables' with your child. At this stage, they should be familiar with most of the tables and be able to recall them quickly. The maths zone on Woodlands School website, has some fantastic links to online games, which we use in school. http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/maths/index.html
At this stage in the year for Year 6 children, we are working on revision and test technique. They will be doing practice papers in the hall on Wednesday and we will review the papers together on Friday. Parents of children in Year 6, will be given a pack on parents evening, which gives lots of useful information about the actual tests for this year. Meanwhile, we are encouraging the children to complete a piece of writing for revision homework between now and May. They are given a title on Monday's and it needs to be brought into school on Fridays so that it may be marked and returned. http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/revisewise/ has been a very useful tool which the children can access both at home and at school.
If you haven't received a time for parents evening, please call in to see your child's teacher.
