Thu 23 May 2024Happy holidays- this half term has whizzed by. This week we have completed our Viking narrative, learning how the Anglo Saxon and Viking era came to an end and have been a little more of the Anglo Saxon saga Beowulf. Additionally, many children have for the last few weeks been rehearsing for the music and ballet concert. This week they were amazing in their performance to the parents and to the school. A huge well done 🙂
Enjoy the week off....

Year 5 News
Thu 23 May 2024Where has the week gone! This week, we have focused on our RE unit for the term, looking at different religions and their beliefs. We have also been working on our DT unit, experimenting with different CAM mechanisms to make a moving toy. In English, we have continued looking at the Shakespeare play, Macbeth, writing a newspaper report about King Duncan's murder. In maths, we have been learning about position and direction, focusing on coordinates and translating shapes which has been a little tricky for some.
After half term, we will be learning about the Tudors in history and will be having a visit to Haddon Hall. The letter will come out when we are back. We hope you all have a lovely half term break.

Thu 23 May 2024It's here! Half Term! We cannot tell you how happy the children are to get to this point in the year. They are all ready for a well-deserved break after all of their exams. This week, we have finished off our latest RE unit of work, exploring religions within our community. We have also taken the children out for a couple of games of rounders. 6O have definitely got the better of 6T! We hope the children have a lovely half term and we also hope they rest up! Just a reminder that our P.E days after half term are Monday and Tuesday (A text has already been sent to confirm this)

Year 3 News
Thu 23 May 2024Well done to all the Year 3’s who took part in the music performance, you were all fabulous and made me very proud. How is it that another half term has flown by. This week in English, we have written our plans and some sentences about Michael Faraday to go towards writing our biography after half term. In Maths, we have still been focussing on time and looking at minutes and seconds and how we can use that to find duration and start and end times. In RE, we have been looking at what makes worship buildings sacred to certain people. In Topic, we looked at physical and human features of India. In PE, we had a big rounders match where the children could show off their skills they have learnt this half term. We are really looking forward to the final half term of Year 3 as it is so jam-packed full of exciting opportunities. We hope you take lots of rest. Here are the spellings for the week we return.

Year 6 News
Fri 17 May 2024Well! What a week! I think we can safely say that the year 6s are glad it is over. We cannot express how proud we are of them. They gave it their absolute everything during the whole of SATS week and they applied themselves in the most pressurised situation. The only change has been today, where we have started our DA&RT program but we decided to give them a treat afternoon where we sat and watched a film. We hope they have a lovely weekend and get a well deserved rest from being at school!

Fri 17 May 2024It has been a different week this week. Due to Year 6 SATS, we spent some time in the hall working on a project all about Scotland. The children have written some fantastic travel brochures, filled with information about different Scottish landmarks, traditions, celebrations, foods and so much more.
Because we have not had the usual routine, the spellings and times tables will be carried over to next week.

Fri 17 May 2024This week has flown by and the children have once again been enjoying creating circuits- this time with switches. They liked their PE sessions where they were jumping and then using metre sticks to measure the distance they travelled and then orienteering. We are continuing with our topic of the Anglo Saxons and have studied Alfred the Great. Remember Freezer Fridays is each week until the end of term.

Year 5 News
Fri 10 May 2024It has been so lovely to have such lovely weather this week - especially with the bank holiday at the start. Yesterday, Year 5 had a Scottish day in school where they learnt about different Scottish traditions and the history behind tartan. They also got to taste ty of different foods. Such as: square sausage, haggis, black pudding, fruit pudding, mac and cheese pie, scotch pie, burnt loaf, potato cakes and teacakes. I'm not sure the haggis went down well but they certainly enjoyed the tablet. In the afternoon, they took part in Highland games where they competed as clans in a number of events.
Please see the spellings below for next week and they will be focusing on the 12 times table.
