We have had a little bit of a hectic week this week in Year 5!
This week has been our assessment week and the children have been absolutely AMAZING! They have had to complete 6 tests in total which can be really, really tricky but they have tackled it with a great attitude, confidence and resilience. I have been so proud of them!
Our Christmas production practice has also got into full swing this week with lines being learned off by heart, props being chosen and even lyrics being sang. I am very much looking forward to being able to practice on the big stage next week and then show the incredible efforts that all of the children have put in to all of you parents when we do our final performance soon.
In between all of the chaos and bedlam this week we have even managed to squeeze in a brand-new maths skill. This week the children began learning about how to multiply a whole number by a fraction. They were fantastic and really picked it up quite quickly. We even went on to learn how to multiply a mixed number by a fraction. Though this skill had a lot more steps to it, and was a fair bit trickier, I am confident that with more practice Class 5 will master this skill too!
Finally, tonight is our annual Christmas Fair here at Netherthong Primary School. Many children from Class 5 are members of the choir and have come to school dressed in tinsel, Christmas headbands and even Santa hats as they will be performing some songs during the fair. Class 5 have also been especially selected to open the fair with a special performance of their brass band instruments. I am so proud of the amazing talent that we have here in Class 5 and I am so excited to see them perform tonight!
