Here, you can find out the latest information and our home learning tasks.

It really has been feeling much more Christmassy this week! We have enjoyed watching a fabulous nativity production from the children in Key Stage 1 and an extremely funny pantomime about Cinderella yesterday. We clearly have some budding actors in our midst!

Home learning

Keeping with our Christmas theme, this week, we would like you to complete the sheet you have been given to create festive sentences, by adding fronted adverbials.

Remember, the fronted adverbial will need to add information about when, where, why or how to the main clause. Don’t forget to add your comma after the fronted adverbial!

Primary Maths Challenge

Recently our Upper Key Stage 2 children took part in The Primary Maths Challenge. This national contest involves pupils from schools all over the country competing against each other. 

The problem solving challenge requires children to think outside the box, solve logical problems and try their best. Our Year 5 and 6 pupils were fantastic - a real credit to our school. The results are already in and we had lots of bronze, silver and gold awards. Gold awards were achieved by: Evie H (Year 6), Gabriel B (Year 6), Darcie P (Year 6), Bella-Blue S (Year 5), Charlie G (Year 5), Scarlett FB (Year 6), Abel R (Year 6), Seb M (Year 6), Arthur W (Year 6), Missy T (Year 6), Harrison P (Year 5), Daisy N (Year 6) and William Y (Year 6).  

Overall, our Year 5s did incredibly well, also earning a number of silver and bronze awards, making themselves the most successful ever Year 5 group, since we started participating in the challenge! What an amazing achievement!

Well done to everyone who took part! 

PE Kit

Now the temperature is becoming colder, can you please make sure that PE kits contain either a grey or black sweatshirt and leggings or jogging bottoms, as well as the usual house T shirt and shorts. Thank you!

Parents/carers: If you have any questions, queries or comments about Year 5, please email the school office on: admin@southmead.devon.sch.uk

They will forward this information to the correct member of staff who will then be able to get back to you regarding your query.

This year, we will be encouraging the children to become independent learners.

We will be placing home learning here on the Year 5 page of the school website. Any resources necessary to complete the tasks will be printed out and placed in each child's green home learning book. Each week there will be a Maths task and a writing or topic task (alongside times tables and reading). Home learning will be uploaded here on Fridays and is due to be handed in at school on the following Wednesday.

Home learning books should be brought back in to school every Wednesday so that we can see your wonderful work!
