Here is an overview of the term ahead:

Year 5 Term 1 Overview

PE will be on Wednesday afternoons, always bring your inside and outdoor kits. We will be out whatever the weather!

The children should read at least 4 times each week (this can include Reading Plus).  Raffle tickets will be awarded – I wonder who will win our first book prizes of the year?

We also encourage the children to use Times Tables Rock Stars on a regular basis.

We have had a great time trying out paddle-boarding and kayaking around Folkestone Harbour.

Even Miss Welsh and Mr Hooper gave it a go! It was cold but amazing fun, though Mr Hooper did fall in… a lot!

This Wednesday we were invited to the Church to lead an Ash Wednesday service.

Year 5 led the entire service, including writing and reading their own prayers. After this, Reverend Chris placed the ashes on everyone’s head and we prayed repented for our sins and prayed for God’s support.
