Years 5 & 6

Persuasive Writing and Speaking 

Students completed their final copies of persuasive writing pieces this week. They started working on presenting this using a Power Point for their speaking tasks to be delivered this week. Parents could help listening to their child's speeches on the weekend and giving feedback. 

Maths 

Students completed their work on Multiplication and Division strategies. 

Next week we are starting Fractions as the new unit in Maths. We will start with ordering of Fractions before moving to adding and subtracting and finishing off with conversions from fractions to numbers and decimals. 

We will continue with their times tables as part of the speedy Maths and problem solving as part of their mental strategies. 

Reading 

Students started their Character Profiles for their reading texts. They will work on these next week using the character profile templates and the information they highlighted in their novels.
