End of a long half term!

Good afternoon parents and carers,

The children have made it through a long half term of learning and now deserve a well earned rest! There is no homework over half term so children can have a total break from work. However, they can obviously complete learning games on their Chromebooks if they want to.

We completed our topic on Ancient Greek History with a fun lesson, making ancient Greek buildings.

This week the children also completed writing a Greek Myth which they did with great concentration and enthusiasm. They have produced some excellent stories which you will be able to read on parent’s evening. If you haven’t already booked your appointment, parents evenings are Wednesday 6th and Thursday 7th November.

Mr Beevers and I gave out scripts to children with main parts in the Year 5 play so that they could have time to start learning their lines over the holidays. However, we have not yet given out all the smaller parts and this will be done at the start of next term. It looks like it is going to be a very humorous play with a lot of excellent (and very catchy) songs!

We hope you all have a wonderful half term and look forward to seeing all the children refreshed and raring to go when we return.

Mrs Kroon and the Year 5 team.
