Fri 13 Mar 2026This week we have practiced our dancing in PE where we began putting together a routine, we are excellent!
We had an afternoon working hard on our DT project - moving vehicles - creating the base for the vehicle cutting wood and joining the pieces to create a sturdy structure.
On Thursday we had an exciting science day where we moved around school in our houses learning about female computer scientists, creating boats testing hankies (and learning about snot!) and creating poster entries for the competition. We had an amazing time!
In English we have published our balanced arguments on whether or not the work of Alan Turing should have remained a secret or we should have used it to end World War 2 immediately.
The Countdown to Hagg Farm is on! We leave first thing Monday morning so for those of you attending, get packing! Children going on the trip must bring a packed lunch on Monday.
Have a good weekend

Fri 13 Mar 2026We have had test week in school this week and all the children tried really hard. Yesterday, we had Science day with the theme 'Curiosity'. Every child in school took part in four different activities. In Year 5, we looked at what makes boats float and they had to try and make the best float. In Year 6, they researched famous female scientists, celebrating their achievements. In Year 4, they investigated what makes the best hankie and in Year 3 they discussed what they thought was going to happen in the future. It was so lovely to see all the children working together as a team and enjoy the day.
Because we have had test week, the spellings will carry over to next week and will be tested next Friday. Have a lovely weekend.

Fri 13 Mar 2026This week has been Test Week- well done children for trying and working hard 🙂
Scores will be given at Parents Evening on 24th March.
We have also continued learning about the Mayans and where they settled and have started our Mayan masks. In music we have learned about what an ostinato is. Science Day was a busy yet great day making posters, researching female scientists, seeing how many marbles could fit in a boat and learning about snot- sorry mucus. The question was " What material makes the best handkerchief". Cotton wool or tissue came top out of the materials we had and tin foil and cotton fabric the worst- this last one surprised us...The children seemed to have lots of fun 🙂
Next week, spellings are the same as last week as not tested this week due to Test Week.
4M have PE on Monday rather than Friday.
Mrs Marshall is at Hagg Farm with the Year 6s on residential so is leaving you with Miss Weatherall 🙂 You will have a great week I am sure 🙂
Read, complete handwriting and times table sheets, practice time tables on TTRS and look at the Mayan homework- I love the Mayan headdress that has been brought in 🙂

Fri 13 Mar 2026Test week this week and the children have persevered fantastically. We have seen some real progression with the assessments so the children should be very proud of themselves. Science day was a massive highlight on Thursday, with the children learning all about buoyancy and snot, what’s not to love. We have continued learning about Roman Britain, looking at roads this week and how Roman ideas effect how we live now. Problem solving in P.E showed us some real leader qualities in some children and when creating PowerPoint presentation in computing some real expertise shined through. Have a great weekend everyone, should be a sunny one.

Fri 06 Mar 2026This week, we have been working hard with our revision and in Maths, we have been learning how to find percentages of amounts, using our knowledge of equivalent fractions to help. We have linked this to interpreting pie charts, to find out how many people are represented in each section. In English, we have written our balanced arguments, explaining both sides with evidence. Ready for our moving vehicles, in our DT lesson, everyone created a working circuit with a switch and a motor.
Remember to complete the order forms for your hoodies.
Have a great weekend.

Fri 27 Feb 2026Well done to everyone on a fabulous first week back!
This week we have completed our learning of Algebra in maths, applying our knowledge of formula and equations to reasoning and problem solving. It has been tricky at times but we have been extremely resilient in our learning.
In English we had a big debate about whether or not the work of Alan Turing should have led to the immediate end of world war 2, or were they right to keep his work secret. The children had some great ideas, shared their opinions respectfully and maturely and considered things from others points of view. This will help hugely when we write our own balanced arguments.
We had an interesting Blitz online workshop on Thursday afternoon and have begun our designs for our moving vehicles in DT.
In PE we have begun a unit on dance and started out with dance battles to help our confidence!
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Carmichael & Miss Ottowell

Fri 27 Feb 2026We hope you all had a lovely half term holiday. It was great to see all the children on Monday after a week off. This week, we have begun researching tropical rainforests ready for our non-chronological report writing in English. In Science, we looked at the life cycle of an amphibian and in Geography, we looked at where rainforests are located around the world.
Please see the spelling list for next week. Your child should come home with these in their spelling book and a spelling sheet with handwriting for them to complete. This is due next Friday.
