Year 3 News
Fri 07 Mar 2025This week year 3 have had an amazing week! We have been super busy starting our new maths unit (fractions). We have also been continuing our work on Roman Britain, exploring how the Romans were so successful in their invasion of Britain. It has been a very different week in many respects as the children have also enjoyed world book day, where oracy was our focus. We had lots of debates on questions such as (Should Primary School children be allowed mobile phones?). We also completed an activity where the children told us their favourite spot for reading! To cap the week off, the children have been split into their houses and they have been moving around school, completing a number of activities for our annual Science Day as part of British Science Week. A super busy week deserves a well- rested weekend! Stay safe and we will see you all on Monday.

Year 4 News
Fri 07 Mar 2025This week has been a very busy and enjoyable one in Year 4. We have finished our unit on length and perimeter and have started our new maths unit on fractions having recapped on the difference between unit and non-unit fractions. In English, we have been writing more journal entries for our character Marcy from Mary and the Riddle of the Spinx and have written examples of speech which will help us when writing our own stories. We also had an independent write this week with our writing stimulus linked to our Mayan topic. In Spanish, we went over our colours and we also resumed our swimming lessons after the half term. On Thursday, we enjoyed World Book Day and had the opportunity to develop our oracy and storytelling skills and really get to know our characters from our favourite books. On Friday, we split into our different houses and have been taught about various different aspects of science under the theme of 'Change and Adapt'.

Fri 07 Mar 2025Fabulous week in year 5 this week. We have smashed our rainforest non chorological reports in English and made real progress when moving onto learning the area in compound shapes in Maths. It was very interesting watching the classes teamwork in P.E with problem solving tasks and working out our school carbon footprint in our 'Go Zero' lesson. The highlight of the week was very close between World Book Day on Thursday and Science day on Friday, with the children enjoying and participating excellently in both.
Our spellings will be the same as last week due to World book day and Science day interrupting the schedule

Fri 28 Feb 2025It has been great to see the children after the half term break.
This week in Maths, we have been finding percentages of amounts and equivalent decimals and fractions. Our knowledge of place value has really helped.

Our sponsored read week begins next week. The more we raise, the more books we can buy for our libraries. Please get involved if you are able.
Have a great weekend.

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.

Have a lovely half term.
