Dear Year 5 ,

We are nearing Christmas, and this week the children will be practising and filming their Christmas songs as part of the whole school Nativity. They will also be completing Christmas craft activities!

Below is a summary of some of the week's other learning and suggested activities if you are unable to attend school this week.

 This week, the focus in Maths will be on calculating the perimeter of rectangles and rectilinear shapes. Use the following guides to find out more:
