Year 6 News
Fri 22 Sep 2023We have had a really busy week in year 6 and it has been brilliant to finally get on to our units of teaching. The children have taken to our Theseus and the Minotaur English unit really well and seem excited about doing more writing linked to the Ancient Greeks.
This week, we have also had Severn Trent visit us, where the children were able to take a dive into how the sewerage system works! They had good fun taking part in our experiment, filtering different materials in order to clean water to make it safe to drink. We are looking forward to yet another busy week next week.

Year 5 News
Fri 22 Sep 2023Another fab week in Year 5. On Thursday, we had a special visit from Severn Trent water. They did a whole school assembly and then taught us all about how to look after our sewers. We discussed what was safe to put down the toilet and the drains and then we worked in groups to filter dirty water.
In Science, we learnt about night and day and why this happens. In English, we continued learning about travel brochures and began researching a place in America so that we can begin writing our own travel guides next week.

Year 4 News
Fri 22 Sep 2023This week has been exciting for year 4 to get back to work. We have described Egyptian settings and described the characters in a story from Ancient Egypt- Osiris and Seth. We will be working up to write our own stories with a hero and a villain next week. In Maths, Place Value is our first unit. Science continued by investigating the function of saliva with a cracker experiment (the longer the cracker stays on our tongue, the softer it gets) and discovering that washing up liquid helps break down vegetable oil like enzymes in the liver break down fats in our food.
Music was rather noisy but we enjoyed playing a rhythm with quavers and crotchets on percussion instruments. We have learned that Ancient Egyptian society had a hierarchy where the Pharaoh was the most important and slaves were the least important. We learned that the shaduf was an Ancient Egyptian water moving device! We will be designing and making our own in the coming weeks.

Fri 08 Sep 2023We have had a fantastic week settling in to life in year 6. This week, we have completed our first RE unit of the year, where we have explored objectives around wisdom, morals and different sacred texts. We have also started our class story 'The Odyssey' , which follows the journey of King Odysseus and his army on their way back from the war in Troy.

Fri 08 Sep 2023This week, it has been lovely to be back in school, working with your children. It may have been the first week back but we have worked hard- Times table Rockstars, staring our new Topic unit of Ancient Egypt (mummifying tomatoes, making salt dough and Egyptian plaques with hieroglyphs on them and learning about the River Nile). We have also started to think about the journey of Life and all the achievements we have experienced so far, also thinking about what our hopes and dreams are.
Remember PE is on Tues and Wed next week. Please can we ask that jewelry is removed to keep your children safe and remember correct PE kit. Trainers should not be worn on non PE days.
