• May the force be with you (18 September)
  Dear Parents, We have been so lucky with the weather this week and the children have been out on the field, enjoying the return of summer and sunshine! In class, they are working hard to write a portal story, continuing the adventures of the characters we have met in our class text – The Journey. Science has seen the children continue to investigate forces, exploring friction and hypothesising about which surfaces create more or less friction. In Netball, children have been practising throwing, catching and pivoting. We had our first spelling test this week and many ...
• Welcome to Year 5 (11 September)
  Dear Parents, Now we have completed our first full week back at school, I wanted to write to say how proud I am of Year 5. They have settled in very well and are already working hard across the curriculum. We are currently reviewing key maths concepts from last year, using the book ‘Journey’ by Aaron Becker as our inspiration for literacy and have started to explore Brazil as our current curriculum project. In science, we are investigating forces and had great fun measuring the weight of classroom items using Newton Meters. Kind regards, Mrs Hunter
• To parents/carers and children
  Dear parents and children. I wanted to write to say a huge thank you for the lovely gifts you gave me at the end of term. They are much appreciated! I hope you all have a very restful summer and look forward to seeing you in September. Mrs Hunter
• Transition to Year 6 (message for parents/carers)
  Dear Parents/carers It was so lovely to have Year 5 back in school today. I hope they enjoyed spending time with both myself and Mrs Chassebi and are now looking forward to Year 6. In the home learning section of our Year 5 class page, I have uploaded a ‘transition pack’ which contains some photos of the Year 6 classroom so that they can remind themselves of their new learning environment over the summer should they wish. Don’t hesitate to email with any questions! Warmest wishes, Mrs Hunter
• Message for parents and carers – 15 June
  Dear Parents, I was sad to hear the news that Year 5 will not be returning to school at this point. I had been looking forward to seeing all the children; and from your emails, I know that many of the children are really missing Two Waters now. I also appreciate that it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep children motivated with their home learning at the moment and to balance schooling and work. I wanted to reassure you that I am still your child(ren)’s teacher and available for any help or support they may need: looking through the work they ...

You will be using a website called the ‘Oak National Academy’ and watching teacher videos which will explain your activities. You will need to read the Learning Pack first so that you know which lessons to watch ...
