Noticeboard

This week, Year 4 have created their own bar chart in Maths. We collected data on favourite foods from other Year 4 children and adults. Afterwards, we used different methods to create our bar charts, including post it notes, Purple Mash and Microsoft Excel. In English, we have been writing a newspaper report on the events of the Vikings invading Lindisfarne. We also designed our torch in DT ready to make them next week!

 

Miss Hyde & Miss Ottowell

We had a great day last Friday, Pyjamarama day, taking part in all kinds of book-related activities including Book Bingo, crosswords, word-searches, telling the tale of the Iguana lost at sea or the spy disguised as a bird watcher and creating our own ‘How to….’ Book series. We’ve also been writing ‘Just so’ stories in the last few days in the style of Rudyard Kipling.

 

Miss Woolley & Mrs Cave

Year 3 have been busy this week testing out different watercolour techniques ready to paint their Roman myth next week for their final piece in Art. We are coming to the end of our Maths topic 'Time'; we would really appreciate it if you could continue to practice telling the time with your child as this is such an important skill. We have also set up a Science experiment on Thursday with Geraniums to see how fertiliser affects plant growth. 

 

Miss Mercer & Mrs Wright

This week, we have been continuing to create Just So stories, including description and speech and have been thrilled with some of the outcomes with two children impressing Mrs Cave so much that they were awarded merit certificates (and a number of House Points from Miss Hubert). The children have loved putting together conversations about food and drink that they enjoy. Next week, we are looking forward to finishing this half term's topics, ready for the holidays 🙂

 

Mrs Marshall

In DT this week, we explored how to make our own switches that can be use on our torches when we make them so the light will turn on and off. During our work in Science, we investigated which materials were good electrical conductors. We really enjoyed Pyjamarama day. So many children brought new books. We based our work on the book called 'The Getaway' by Ed Vere, acting out scenes from the story before writing our own version. Look out for pictures on the website soon.

 

Miss Ottowell and Miss Hyde

In 5W we have been writing "Just So" stories in Rudyard Kipling's style. Mrs Goffin and Miss Ottowell were also extremely impressed by our lesson on Scottish Independence. We have been keenly following the Derby Cathedral Peregrine Falcons on their live feed.

Here are some of our Year 5s looking super cosy on Pyjamarama day!!!
