Fri 25 Apr 2025It has been so lovely to welcome all the children back into school after Easter. We cannot believe we are already in the final term for this academic year. This week, we have started a new narrative unit in English, focusing on the book 'The Snow Leopard'. It is a beautiful book and we are hoping the children will be able to write their own versions based on the text. In maths, we have moved on to shape, exploring different angles and identifying them within shapes. On Thursday, we headed off to St Helens Church for our Easter service. Thank you so much to all the parents and carers who walked with us, we could not do it without you.
A special mention to Olivia who won the sponsored read competition. As a reward, before Easter, she got to choose a book which arrived on Thursday. Well done Olivia!
Please see attached the spellings for next week.

Fri 25 Apr 2025Welcome back Year 4. We hope you had a lovely Easter and are ready to get stuck into another half term to go.
We have started our new topic of the Anglo Saxons and Vikings this week and have already learned that they came across the seas from Norway, Denmark and Sweden, invading peaceful Anglo Saxon settlements- such as the island of Lindesfarne, where monks lived. We will also be starting the Physics Science topic of electricity, linking to DT, where we will be making a torch, using our knowledge of circuits.
Remember there are two more swimming sessions- 28th April and 12th April. PE is now each Tuesday.
Our Perlethorpe trip is three weeks away... Thank you for payments made and for the parents who are kindly helping.
Well done to Amber T- she raised over a stupendous £200 for Albany Junior's Sponsored Read. Keep reading!

Mrs Cave and Miss Brown look forward to welcoming you back after the holidays.

Fri 04 Apr 2025This week in Year 4 we have started and finished a short English unit on advertising our Mayan-inspired chocolate bars. We have also spent the week learning about Easter as part of our RE unit where we have looked at the key evets and days in the Christian calendar and their importance, including the last supper on Maundy Thursday. On Tuesday, we had a fantastic time at Cadbury World! As well as learning lots about the company, we learnt about how the history of chocolate and how we have the Mayans to thank for that. We have also completed and evaluated our Mayan masks. Have a lovely Easter break.

Fri 04 Apr 2025Our last week has been fantastic. Cadburys World was a massive hit (not surprisingly) with year 5 actually learning a lot about how the rainforest is linked to the making of chocolate and why it needs to be preserved. We have been learning R.E for most of the week, looking at the Easter story after completing our 'Escaped Tiger' newspaper reports in English. Our Georgia O'Keeffe inspired prints and ink patterns of flowers have turned out wonderfully, with children commenting on how proud they were of their work. Enjoy the Spring break everyone and the predicted sunshine and we'll see you all again on the 22nd April.

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.
