Year 3 News
Fri 19 Jul 2024Wow where to start, this week has been crazy. First of all well done to all the children for taking part in Sports day, they looked like they were having the best time. The children have also done: Axe throwing, Nerf wars, rounders, archery, orienteering and a personal favourite: Drumba. In between all that sport we have also been learning some first aid skills, and learning about our skeleton and muscles in our bodies. We have also done an hour of internet safety and the children have loved learning about different apps and websites they can continue learning on at home, I sent home a list of useful websites with the children. Next week will be just as busy so I hope you have a restful weekend.

Fri 12 Jul 2024It has been a busy week in school this week. A lot of the week has been taken up by our end of year tests. All the children have worked really hard and it has been great to see the progress they have made. On Wednesday, they spent the day with Miss Ottowell who will be their Year 6 teacher.
Thank you to the parents that came to the PE workshop and a special thank you to Mr Still for organising it for us. Despite the rain, they managed to have a go at the javelin for sports day and finished off with a mini quiz. Next week is sports day on Monday and healthy living week. Children are to come to school in their PE kit and a coloured t-shirt in their house colour. We also have a trip to the library on Thursday.
As it was test week, there has not been a spelling test. Therefore, the spellings will be carried over to next Friday. We hope you all have a lovely weekend and enjoy the Euro final on Sunday.

Year 6 News
Fri 05 Jul 2024As ever, we are so proud of year 6. The way they are conducting themselves at the minutes is really commendable. It is a busy time with lots of responsibility around rehearsals for both the end of year performance and for their DA&RT production, which they have now shown to other children in the school and their DA&RT Officer. The performance was fantastic and all of the children have been presented with a certificate to showcase their hard work during the programme. As well as all of the rehearsals, year 6 have been exploring rivers in the world in more detail as part of their 'Rivers' topic, using atlases to find out map grid references of certain major rivers around the globe.

Year 4 News
Fri 05 Jul 2024This week our English lessons have had a grammar focus, we practised writing in the present perfect tense, using subordinate clauses and including prepositional phrases to make our writing more detailed and interesting. We then wrote an advertisement in our Independent Writing lesson on London. We have done a lot of work on money this week and have been working out how to add and subtract with pence and pounds. For our topic lesson this week, we completed a field study of our local area along Pasture Road and Derby Road, looking at housing and businesses and have discussed how and why both roads are similar and different. We had Spanish on Thursday and have done more work on asking how people are in conversation and describing our feelings and the reason why. Next week, it is test week and we will also be having lots of fun quizzes in the afternoons across the wider curriculum subjects. We will be going to the Library again on Thursday afternoon (11th July), so make sure you bring along any books to be returned. If there are any parents that are able to come along with us, please let Mrs Marshall or Mrs Stephenson know as help would be greatly appreciated.
