A Rising Star of Y5-2


Here's someone who's done really well this week; it's Jayvee, sitting proudly at the teacher's desk because he was the first person in our class to get their Y5 pen licence. He tried really hard with his handwriting example and he has been working neatly in his other books as well. I wonder who will be the next to join him!

Today's Homework

Ok, middle of the week time again. Here's what to do today:

  1. Daily Maths 2 - ONLY Daily Maths 2, not all of them! Remember the date and title.
  2. Write the spelling word and the meaning next to it. This is a handwriting task as well so try your best to join your letters and make them a regular size. Let's see who can get the next pen licence!
  3. Continue on your Home Town project.

Today's Homework

  1. Daily Maths 1 (in your Maths Homework book)
  2. Reading Activity 1 (stick the sheet in your Reading Activity book)
  3. Learn your spellings and match the meanings (in your spelling book)
  4. Abacus PCM p.2
All your homework is due in the next day, unless I say otherwise. Don't forget to get your homework diary signed!

Well done to Jean and Dino, who were the only people to answer the Mystery Question. I know I said that it wasn't the real question but they made an effort anyway so 1hp to them. Have you tried the new one?

Today's Homework

Another day, another piece of homework. Yesterday's was fairly good. We had SOME lovely, colourful name cards which Mrs Badr has already stuck onto the trays. There are a few people who have 'forgotten' and who promise to bring it in tomorrow. Let's see if they do.

Here's today's work:
  1. Finish your Settlements table; you know, the list of 6 buildings in each settlement, City, Town and Village.
  2. Practice your 4x and 7x table. Anmar had a great idea of having a test to check who knows their tables so we'll do that tomorrow.
Happy Saudi National Day for Thursday!

Today's Homework

Here it is. What you've all been waiting for; the first homework of the year!
  1. Finish your name card - as colourful and individual as you can make it. You're going to be looking at it all year; you'll be happier if you are looking at something nice.
  2. Complete your 'Year 5 Passport' paper - it's a little 'getting to know you' exercise for us all.
  3. Keep working on your 'Home Town' project. This will be hard for some people because they haven't done ANY work on it yet. If you haven't started, ask your mum and dad where the paper is that tells you about the project. Start working now!
The best news has been saved till last; we have our first mystery question answer! Well done Jean!

1 Day Down, 39 To Go

Wow! What a day!! We had 18 out of 21 kids in today, all brimming with energy and raring to get to work at the beginning of another wonderful year. We talked about all of our expectations for Year 5, gave out LOADS of uniform slips, learned about how Mr Ward wants his maths books to appear and even had time for our first bit of homework. What a busy day!

Let's see if we're all here tomorrow and if we can all remember each others' names!

New Beginnings

Welcome back to school again! The countdown has begun and I'm sure we're all full of energy and ready to start on Saturday. I know you've all got your uniform ready, your pencils are sharpened and your shoes are polished. Anway, the teachers are all busy brightening up the classrooms and sorting out all the things you'll be doing in the first week. See you soon!
