Year 5 News
Fri 14 Mar 2025It has been very quiet in Upper School this week with Year 6 and Mr Harding at Hagg Farm but Year 5 have remained focused, working hard in lessons, getting on without any fuss. On Monday, we finished our non-chronological reports about the rainforest and the results were amazing. All the children worked incredibly hard and produced a beautiful and well written report. In maths, we have moved on to statistics and have been reading and interpreting line graphs. We have also used line graphs to present information and answer questions.
Things are getting quite exciting in our Let's Go Zero lessons as the children are now starting to plan their projects for reducing our school carbon emissions. They are working in groups to develop an action plan for their project and will soon be putting them into action around school.
Next week is test week but we will still have our usual spelling test on Friday. Please see the spellings for next week below.

Year 6 News
Fri 07 Mar 2025It has been another busy week!
In Maths, we have learnt how to understand the data shown in pie charts. We have also been revising other areas such as fractions and percentages.
On Thursday, we celebrated World Book Day, where we talked about our favourite books and authors. We also created our own 'Who am I?' riddles, giving clues for people to solve. Some of them were tricky! To end the day, we had an ultimate character champion battle, to decide which character was the best out of the ones the children had chosen. Clear reasons were given during each mini battle, to prove their reasons why. Well done!
We have also taken part in Science day and lots of fun activities. Everyone spent the day in their houses, completing the different tasks. They learnt about topics such as microplastic pollution and 'Should we flush it?'
To those going to Hagg Farm next week, have an amazing time.

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'.

Year 5 News
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
