English lesson

Behaviour is monitored using the Class Behaviour Chart. Each child begins the day on 0. If a child does not follow our class rules, he/she is given a verbal warning. If misbehaviour persists, he/she is moved to 1. If a child reaches 5, he/she must see Mrs Stanford and parents are informed. Certain unacceptable behaviour goes straight to 5. (fighting, swearing)

Maths Homework/Tareas de matemáticas:

Children may do the homework directly, but if they are having difficulty, we suggest they go back and review the lesson. It is important that the children press “Checkout” when they finish and so save their work.

Spellings are given on a Friday.Children must learn them and practise writing them (Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check).Children must complete an accompanying task.Weekly test will also include some unseen words, testing application of the spelling focus.

Spellings:

•Stage book/libro de la esquema•Chapter book/ libro de libre eleción

Children change their stage book as frequently as they wish. (Minimum of once a week) Children change their chapter book as they wish too.

Reading:

•Children record title/stage/date in their green reading records. •Reading as a daily habit. (after school, in bed, bedtime story)

Reading Eggs will not continue this year.www.oxfordowl.co.uk

Reading:

There are 250 books, searchable by age, book band and genre.

Reports and Parent Meetings

We understand that parents communicate through the medium of whatsapp. While it is a useful tool to find out what´s happening at school or for reminders, we ask that any concerns be directed towards the year 5 teachers and/or Mrs Stanford, in order to avoid confusion and misinformation.

Communication

•Year 5 Trip is to Doñana National Park.•Eventhough it is not until the final term, we feel it would be beneficial to the children to begin to save towards the cost of the trip.•It is an excellent opportunity to teach the children the value of money and how gratifying it can be to save towards a project.
