Year 5 News
Fri 08 Mar 2024We had a fab day on Monday when the children came to school dressed as a rainforest animal. We have attached a picture of some of the children. We managed to raise £34 and chose to sponsor a jaguar. To celebrate World Book Day, we have been making our own non-fiction text about tropical rainforest and took part in a live lesson with the BBC.
The spellings for next week are below.

Year 4 News
Fri 08 Mar 2024Year 4 have had a great week. After our initial swimming assessment last week, we got lots of swimming practise this Monday and are looking forward to next week for our next one! We have started a new unit in English and will be working towards writing and making an advert to persuade our audience to buy a chocolate that we have designed (we were inspired by the Mayans and how they were famous for their chocolate!). In maths, we have moved on to calculating fractions of amounts e.g. 2/3 of 15. Our reading sessions have been around our class book The Chocolate Tree and in Topic this week, we looked at where the Mayan civilisation settled and have labelled their countries and key cities. On Thursday, we had World Book Day, we read The Getaway and have made our own books complete with illustrations inspired by Ed Verve’s book. Next week is our test week so make sure you have been practising our Year 3/4 100 word spellings and times tables.

Year 3 News 8.3.24
Fri 08 Mar 2024Another busy week in Year 3, the highlight being World book day. The children read and investigated the book called ‘Stuck’ where a boy keeps throwing things into a tree and they all get stuck. Some children then wrote a 2nd book to this called ‘unstuck’ with all the items falling back out of the tree, some children wrote their own version of ‘stuck’ where they had their own items falling out. In DT, we carried out market research to find out what different toppings people like on their pizza. The children finished their recounts on the Roman invasion of Britain and these were really well written and the children had taken lot’s of care over presentation. In Maths, we have been investigating and learning about mass and how to read a scale on a measuring scale. Next week is test week so there will be no spellings, children just need to practice 100 words.

Year 6 News
Fri 01 Mar 2024Year 6 visited the National Holocaust Centre this week, where they found out what life was like for Jewish families during WW2.
Exciting news - Mr Tivey's 2nd child was born this week so he is taking some time away from school, to spend time with his family. While he is off, we are focusing on reading and Spag boosters in the morning and we have continued our work on algebra in maths. Everyone is working really hard.

Year 5 News
Fri 01 Mar 2024This week has flown by again! In English, we have finished writing our non-chronological reports about the rainforest and they look fantastic. In maths, we completed our end of unit assessment on fractions, decimals and percentages. I think it might have been their favourite unit as everyone did really well. In geography, we have been focusing on the different layers of the rainforest and the different animals that can be found there.
Next week, we have our special rainforest day where the children are invited to come to school dressed like an animal from the rainforest and contribute a small donation to help protect a rainforest animal. Last week, we voted to sponsor a jaguar.
Please see the spelling list for next week below.

Year 4 News
Fri 01 Mar 2024This week has been a busy week. On Monday, we started our swimming lessons and we’re very excited to get stuck into our lessons this term. In English, we have completed our Mayan-inspired folktale stories and have now published them. Next week, we will start our unit on persuasive writing and work towards writing and creating an advert for chocolate (something that the Mayans are famous for)! In Maths, we have been doing more learning on fractions, we have been converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions and have practised adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator and simplifying our answers where possible! In Topic, we have looked at the Mayan timeline and have ordered important events during the Mayan rule and we have been grouping living things based on their characteristics in Science.

Year 3 News
Fri 01 Mar 2024Wow, that week went by fast. I think the children’s highlight might have been the food tasting as part of our DT. This week the children have also written some fabulous independent writes about Boudicca, you can tell the children are inspired by her. We have finished our drafts and edited our writing about the Roman invasion of Britain ready to write them up neat next week. In Maths, we have been looking at fractions on a number line. In Science, we have been facintaed at how clever plants are and how the life cycle and pollination work. Our Tag Rugby skills are coming along nicely, as is our dance that we are creating together. We hope you have a nice weekend, next week is World Book Day, we will not be dressing up but still have lots of activities planned. Here is next weeks spellings.
