    This week we have been finding out more about the Ancient Mayans and have discovered their love of chocolate- despite it being a liquid form flavoured with chilli.

    The children have also started to practice for their times table check in the summer using our new laptops. If you want to practice at home the link can be found by googling mathsframe times table test.

    This week in Year 4, we started to design our Mayan mask ready to start create them next week. We also had fun on World Book Day creating our own book based on the Getaway with Fingers McGraw. In Music, we have started to learn to play the recorder and have been learning how to play different notes. We've also enjoyed having Mr Riley teaching dance in PE. We were really impressed with how quickly the children were picking up the moves.

    We have had a lovely week in year 6.  On Thursday, to celebrate World Book Day, all the children made their own book about World War Two.  We have been learning about WW2 all term so it has been a lovely way to put it all together before our trip to the National Holocaust Centre next week.  In DT, we have started gathering our resources together to begin planning and making our own carousel.

    Year 3 have had a really great World Book Day. We have shared our favourite books and then done lots of research on Roald Dahl. We have produced some excellent work and done a chronological timeline of his life, written our favourite quotes from his books and drawn characters in the style of Quentin Blake. We hope you enjoy looking at them when they are on the website.

    Year 3 have had a really busy week. They have started a new topic in Maths called measurement and have been busy measuring outdoor equipment and converting from metres to cm and mm. They have written a report in English about life in the Bronze Age. The Fire fighters came in to visit yesterday and all the children were excited to look at the fire engine. New spellings have gone home this week and also lots of high quality homework tasks are arriving in for our topic on Fair trade.

    We hope you all had a lovely half term. It has been great to see everyone back in school this week.

     

    We have started our new topic for this half term, which is rainforests. The children have made a great start and found out lots of information about rainforests during our research lesson in English. Some of the facts were very surprising! In PE, we started learning how to hit a ball with accuracy in tennis. We also enjoyed a visit from some of the firefighters from Stapleford fire station, discovering more about their job and the equipment they use.

    This week, in Year 4, we started our new topic of the Ancient Mayans. We have started to look at what life was like for them and researched all about Mayan masks. We also started a new topic in Science - Animals and their habitats. We have some exciting things to learn about this term. It was really exciting on Thursday when firefighters came into school. We got to learn about their job and see what they do when they are in their fire engine.

    Year 3 have been writing non chronological reports this week on what life was like in Bronze Age Britain. They have been looking at charts and tables in Maths. Their RE unit on prayer has been really though provoking and they have asked lots of questions. Have a happy and safe half term.

    This week, Year 4 experienced a Mountain Worksop Day, where they took part in a team building challenge and some children became mountaineers. We learned lots more information about Mount Everest and designed our own creature that could be discovered on undiscovered slopes.

    We also had a great time in our Drumba session. Certainly a lively half hour.

    Have a great half term.

    This week, we have continued our work on fractions, finding common denominators to order and compare fractions and complete calculations. In English, we looked at the features of autobiographies before writing our own. We have finally started sewing our Norman purses. They look great and we can't wait to see the finished purses!
