Fri 14 Feb 2025This week, we have continued our work on Alan Turing and whether he made the correct decision to only stop certain attacks after cracking the Enigma code. We took part in a debate before explaining our own opinion with reasons.
In RE, we have learnt about Jewish festivals and celebrations as well as the discrimination that Jewish people faced during WW2 and the impact of this. We also discussed what an upstander is and how we could be one.
To end the week, we spent the day learning about an aspect of local history - SIr Richard Arkwright. We have investigated the question 'Was he a hero or a villain?' We used lots of information and evidence to help us reach our conclusions.
Have a lovely half term.

Fri 07 Feb 2025On Wednesday, we had a fantastic Norman Day in school. In the morning, we were told all about the many weapons a Norman soldier would have had and got the opportunity to hold them and try on Norman helmets. We were all really surprised how heavy the chainmail was and couldn't believe the Normans would have been able to fight under the weight of it. In the afternoon, we played a game called Merels which was very tricky and you had to be very strategic. We also had a go at solving Norman riddles and learnt about the tactics the Normans used to help them win the Battle of Hastings.
Please see below the spellings for next week.

In Maths, we have continued our work on algebra. We have substituted numbers to solve equations and we have learnt how to find the value of letters in an equation too.
We have started to develop our own sequences in PE, combining all the skills we have learnt with apparatus. Our Science work got us thinking about plants and how they can be classified. We also learnt about different types of plants and trees.
Have a great weekend.
