Fri 22 Mar 2024This week has been a very busy and exciting one. We loved our trip to see and skate with the panthers on Wednesday, it was a fantastic experience and we had the opportunity to speak to them and ask them lots of questions. On Friday, we had our Easter church visit at St Helens where we sang songs and took part in Easter-related activities to celebrate. We have now finished our adverts for our Mayan chocolate and have started a new unit in maths on Length and Perimeter, which we will continue into next term. We had our last Spanish lesson on Thursday and looked at masculine and feminine agreement with nouns and adjectives, drawing upon our colours. In Science, we have been classifying animals based upon the features of mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and fish. In Topic, we have looked into what daily life was life for the Mayan civilisation. We are looking forward to yet another busy and exciting week next week with our Magna Albany Adventure and Sports WOW day!

Fri 22 Mar 2024Year 3 have certainly had a week to remember, in between our usual lessons we have also enjoyed not 1 but 2 trips. Buxton was really a day to remember the children had a really brilliant day, smiling from ear to ear as they explored the Roman impact on Buxton and the history behind the town. With the Easter church service as well today, we hope the children have a really restful weekend. Here are some photos from Buxton and also spellings for after Easter.

Fri 15 Mar 2024It was a different week this week with it being test week. All the children worked really hard and tried their best. In art, we created a print in the style of Georgia O'Keeffe and started applying the wax to the silk for our batiks. Next week, we have our trip to the Tropical Butterfly House in Sheffield and the Easter service at St Helens Church.

Fri 15 Mar 2024Year 6 have had a brilliant week finalising our unit of English work, writing a balanced argument based on Alan Turing during the second world war. In Maths, we have been finding the area and perimeter of compound shapes. As it was test week, the children had their final chance before SATS to see how much progress they have made and we can say that we are extremely proud of how they conducted themselves throughout the week. We are looking forward to our last couple of weeks leading up to the Easter break.

Fri 15 Mar 2024This week has been a busy week with it being our test week. We’ve coped very well and are glad to get back to our lessons next week. Alongside our tests, we have had more reading sessions looking at Mayan inventions and have been working on creating our Mayan masks in Art. In Science, we have been focusing on vertebrates, invertebrates and animals with an exoskeleton. In Spanish we have continued to practise our sounds and have touched upon masculine and feminine nouns. Our parent workshop took place on Wednesday afternoon, we started creating a double page spread about all our knowledge of the Mayan civilisation and have now completed them, they look fantastic. Next week is very busy too, in addition to our lessons, we can’t wait to go skating with the panthers on Wednesday and go to the church for our Easter service on Thursday. Have a lovely weekend.

Fri 08 Mar 2024This week, we completed our unit of work on algebra, where we found missing values and we have now moved on to percentages. In PE, the children have continued to create sequences of movements and balances and added rolls this week. To celebrate World Bok Day, we read the story 'Hullabaloo at the zoo' to give us ideas for our own zoo themed stories. Some told the story of special talents but some told the story of the mischief animals get up to when the zoo is closed. The children made books, to publish their stories. They did a fantastic job!

We managed to raise £34 and chose to sponsor a jaguar. To celebrate World Book Day, we have been making our own non-fiction text about tropical rainforest and took part in a live lesson with the BBC.
The spellings for next week are below.

Fri 08 Mar 2024Year 4 have had a great week. After our initial swimming assessment last week, we got lots of swimming practise this Monday and are looking forward to next week for our next one! We have started a new unit in English and will be working towards writing and making an advert to persuade our audience to buy a chocolate that we have designed (we were inspired by the Mayans and how they were famous for their chocolate!). In maths, we have moved on to calculating fractions of amounts e.g. 2/3 of 15. Our reading sessions have been around our class book The Chocolate Tree and in Topic this week, we looked at where the Mayan civilisation settled and have labelled their countries and key cities. On Thursday, we had World Book Day, we read The Getaway and have made our own books complete with illustrations inspired by Ed Verve’s book. Next week is our test week so make sure you have been practising our Year 3/4 100 word spellings and times tables.
