Good afternoon Year 5!
We have finally made it to the end of the year! We are so proud of the children and what they have achieved, what an exciting term we have had! This week your child has come home with their half termly arithmetic test. We would really appreciate it if you could continue to practise questions they made mistakes on as we have gone through these on a 1:1 basis this week. We have decided to not set homework over the Christmas holidays, but please practise their spellings and continue to read at home. In PSHE, the children wrote Christmas wishes to the residents at Hockley and Hawkwell Day Centre, this week we received a letter and Christmas card from one of the residents who used to work at Westerings!
Spellings to practise over the Christmas holidays are words with suffixes where base word ends in ‘-fer’:
difference
preference
inference
preferred
conferring
referring
transference
referee
transferring
reference
