Year 5 Home Practice 11th December 2020

Date: 11th Dec 2020 @ 11:01am

The children did a great job singing their Christmas songs and playing the instruments on filming day. It’s starting to feel very ‘Christmassy’ all of a sudden. The Santa Dash was lots of fun, everyone looked great in their hats and costumes. In French, the children wrote stories called Le Sauvetage de Noel – The Saving of Christmas. Some excellent work in Maths, we were working on the grid method of multiplication. In English, we researched a country that we will do some travel writing about. The children have drawn some lovely Nativity pictures that are displayed in class. Well done Year 5.
