Fri 28 Mar 2025Year five started their week with a bang with our visit to the Tropical Butterfly House. Not only did we have a great time, we also learnt so much about a range of animals and plants. It was lovely to see so many parents and carers on parents evening on Tuesday and a joy to feedback your child's progress. We continued our learning of hockey with a match combining skills and learned how to describe our family in Spanish. Science was interesting this week as we learnt about lifecycles of mammals and how they are classified.
In English, the children have loved writing a newspaper report about a stowaway tiger from a school trip causing carnage in the school and in Maths we tested our knowledge on statistics. Albany Adventure new week! We are all excited about our visit to Cadbury world on Tuesday.

This week, we have completed assessments in SPAG, Maths and Reading. Everyone has worked really hard and they have tried their best to show what they know in each subject. The scores for these tests will be shared at parents' evening next week.
In PE, the children have continued to develop their dance routine, linking different moves and using the correct timing and rhythm. The moving vehicles are beginning to take shape in DT. The wood has been measured and cut and some have started to create the base.

Fri 21 Mar 2025This week, year 3 have shown lots of resilience during our test week. The children have done fantastically well and showed a lot of maturity in a week that can be quite tricky! We have had normal afternoons though and the highlight was making our pizza dough ready for making pizzas in a couple of weeks down (they are safely stored in the freezer). Next week, it is back to our ordinary timetable with a full week of English and Maths. Spellings will also be sent home this weekend ready for spelling lessons commencing once more next week. Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Fri 14 Mar 2025This week in Year 4 we have started our fractions unit within Maths and have been looking at fractions and decimals in terms of fractions less than one whole and those greater. We have also looked at tenths and hundredths and have been converting between them. In English, we have planned another adventure for Marcy, ready for us to write up as our own narrative in our next English lesson. In reading, we have been reading extracts from The Chocolate Tree which links to our History Topic The Mayans and within our Topic lessons, we have been using maps to identify where the Maya Civilisation lived. We have also designed and have started to make our Mayan inspired masks.

Year 3 News
Fri 14 Mar 2025This week, year 3 have had a fantastic week researching in many different areas of the curriculum. In DT, we have done some market research on what our preferred pizza toppings are ready to make our pizza dough next week. We have been researching the different diets of Vegans, Vegetarians, Omnivores and Pescatarians and we have also been recapping on some of the more important events during the time the Romans were in Britain in order to create our recount in English. As ever, it has been super busy and the children have behaved really well. Next week is test week. Our afternoons will be working as normal but our mornings will be a little different. Because of this, there will be no spelling list sent home or spelling test on Friday. The children are amazing and they will be absolutely fine, showing us what they are capable of! Enjoy your weekend and stay safe.
