Year 5 News
Fri 31 Jan 2025This week we have been focusing on playscripts in English and have been performing scenes from Snow White. It was lovely to see children embracing their dramatic side. After performing different scripts, we have been looking at the legend of Robin Hood and have begun writing our own playscripts. In maths, we have moved on to decimals, looking at decimal place value and the relationship between fractions and decimals. On Thursday, we welcomed the Mental Health Support Team (MHST) for a resilience workshop. We were given different strategies to develop our resilience and some positive affirmations. In DT, we have started sewing our Norman Purses. This can be a tricky unit and one that can be quite frustrating at times. The resilience workshop is going to come in very handy!
Thank you to those parents who have paid for the Norman workshop. Without your contributions, we would not be able to have these opportunities. The workshop will take place next Wednesday.
Please see the spellings for next week below. We will be focusing on the 9 times table next week.

Remember, swimming on Monday 🙂

Year 6 News
Fri 31 Jan 2025This week, Year 6 have started to learn about algebra, thinking about how we can create expressions using letters and numbers. We have also learnt that there is no multiplication symbol.
In History, we found out how and why Jewish people were discriminated against during the Holocaust. Everyone found it hard to believe that people were treated in this way just because of their religion. It's a difficult topic to talk about but the children have responded thoughtfully and maturely.
We also had a resilience workshop, where the children thought about times when they had been resilient. They also created an affirmation to help them.
Thank you to those parents who joined us for our parent workshop.
Have a great weekend

Fri 24 Jan 2025This week, Year 6 have started a new English unit on biographies. We will be writing one about Anne Frank so we carried out research about her life and found out lots of interesting facts. The children are really enjoying learning about her and the struggles she faced.
Linked to our WW2 topic, some of the children have been finding out about relatives who fought in the war. It has been brilliant to see pictures, medals and even books that have been published.
In Maths, we have continued our work on ratio. We can use the ratio symbols to compare different amounts and we can use a ratio to work out a total amount or how much each group would get.
Next week, we have our Science parent workshop. It would be lovely to see you.
Have a great weekend.

Year 4 News
Fri 24 Jan 2025This week, the children have been improving in their skills and confidence at swimming. In Science, we have been learning about evaporation and condensation and have discussed how this links to the water cycle. The climate of mountains have been the focus in topic and we know that it gets colder the higher up the mountain you go and that the vegetation differs. Spellings have been given out. Have a great weekend- remember swimming kits on Monday.

Year 5 News
Fri 24 Jan 2025Another busy week in Year 5. In English, we finished writing up our persuasive letters which were fantastic. The children used the work we did during the debate to write a formal letter to The Witan. In maths, we have moved on to fractions and have been multiplying an integer by a fraction and mixed numbers, moving on to finding fractions of amounts. Once again, it highlights just how important times table facts are. Today, we have welcomed The GREAT project again, looking at healthy and happy relationships between friends and family. In DT, we continued our sewing and learnt how to do cross stitch. It is all very fiddly!
If you have not yet returned the Norman letter and money, please do so soon otherwise we will be forced to cancel the workshop.
Next week's spellings are below and in your child's spelling book.

Year 6 News
Fri 17 Jan 2025In Maths this week, we have been learning about imperial and metric units of measurement. We have found out how they link to every day life and we have been converting between different units. We are now moving on to ratio.
We have written our persuasive speeches, using all of the techniques we have learnt about and everyone has focused on the positives in order to make signing up to army sound like a fantastic opportunity. The children can be very persuasive!
In Science, we explored the different groups that animals belong to (such as reptiles, arachnids, mammals and molluscs) and the characteristics that they must have. We also thought about the reasons why a spider isn't an insect.
Have a great weekend.

Fri 17 Jan 2025This week, we had a very exciting debate in English linked to our Norman unit. The children were presenting their views on who should be crowned king when King Edward died. All the children worked really hard and presented some well thought out ideas supported with evidence. In maths, we moved onto division and have been using our skills to solve word problems. Today, we have begun a new project in school. This term, we are taking part in the GREAT project. Today, we focused on relationships, exploring many different types of relationships and how they can be happy or sad.
Please see the spelling list below for next week's spellings.
