Term 5 Information

Welcome to Topaz Class page

Term 5 already! Where is this year going? Once again we have a busy term ahead with our dance festival, Sports Week and even beginning our Year 5 and 6 production (which we are very excited about) alongside all the learning we will be doing.

Following on from our maths work in term 4 we will be having a big focus again on fractions in maths as we start to calculate with fractions and convert them. Rapid times table knowledge is so important for all maths areas but particularly for work on fractions. Although we practise these skills daily in class, this is an area where extra support at home is essential. Please continue to work with your child to learn their unknown times tables (plus the division facts). The term 5 maths knowledge organiser (attached below) will help you to understand the areas of fractions that we are covering this term.

Our history topic this term is all about the 'Trojan Horse' and whether the story is fact or fiction. For extra information about the learning for the term please see our letter and topic web attached below.

Thank you to all our amazing Topaz parents who are supporting your child with the daily reading homework. The children love to receive their reading raffle tickets and were very excited about our termly raffle - congratulations to our term 4 winners.

We hope the sun shines in Term 5.
