Class novel
We have now finished Once by Morris Gleitzman and the class enjoyed it so much that they requested the next book in the series: Then.
We will read this book until half term and then I will pass it on to one of the children to read before we start a new book after half term.

Weekly Homework
There is a new homework grid for the autumn term. These activities are all linked to our history topic of WWII.
You need to choose seven activities from the grid supplied. Click here for the details. You will be expected to complete an activity per week!
Your weekly homework needs to be handed in on Wednesdays. We will then share homework in class.
Daily Reading
In Year 5 and 6 the expectation is that you are reading every day for at least 20 minutes.
You need to choose from the 100 books on our class shelves or another age-appropriate text. Please ask if you're not sure.

This week
We have had a busy week in school: Year 5 went to the Young Citizen day in Northampton where they learned about some really important topics including online bullying, grooming and road safety.
In class we have fitted in some more science experiments linked to water resistance in amongst our assessments that we also have been working hard on this week.
