Year 4 News
Mon 25 Jul 2022What a week! The extreme temperatures have certainly meant a strange week for all. We tried our best to stay as cool as possible and hydrated, enjoying the outside for short periods of time in the shade. We have been able to have fun outside though when Grace Walters, a female footballer from Nottingham Forest Football Club worked with the children on their dribbling and tackling. In the afternoon, Year 4 invited parents to come in and support their children making their sandwiches and completing a marketing project with posters and packaging designs. Nerf Wars and Archery were also enjoyed... only a few days left before a well-earned holiday.

Year 3 News
Mon 18 Jul 2022Year 3 have had a really great week. They have been on a field trip to Stapleford for their current Geography topic and have mapped the kinds of shops that Stapleford has. While we were out on the walk, the children were incredibly well behaved and many people stopped to say to us how lovely it was to see the children in the town and how well behaved they were. When they all got back to school they analysed their findings and then had 12 parents come to a parent workshop in their classroom. The parents worked with the children to create graphs and data from the walk. Because the weather was so nice, they were able to work in the Year 3 outdoor area. Thanks again for the continued support of the Year 3 parents.

Year 4 News
Mon 18 Jul 2022This week has been another busy week. We studied OS maps on Monday, comparing Windemere to Skegness and explored which materials muffled sounds best, using a data logger to measure the decibals. We have also been able to spend a day in the classes for next year, meeting our new teachers.

Year 5 News
Wed 06 Jul 2022In English, we finallly created our persuasive leaflets, based on Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London after learning lots of different skills. They were eye catching and very informative. In Science, we planned an investigation, to find out which material will make the best thermal insulator.
The week ended with our sleepover. 32 children stayed for an evening of fun and games. They all really enjoyed the adventure, returning home on Saturday morning. Thank you to Mr Still and Mr Granger, who stayed too.

Year 6 News
Mon 04 Jul 2022It was so lovely to see so many Year 6 parents come and join us for the parent workshop. We were super impressed with the quality of everyone's water colour painting skills. The rest of this week has been very quiet as some of our children have been on their transition visits to their future secondary schools. We have missed them but know they will have had a fantastic time. In science, we have continued our work on the human body and have been looking at how important the heart is. In RE, we have been exploring what it is like to experience poverty and what can be done to help.

We have learned more about Great Britain and the different counties and have started to learn about the Earl of Sandwich. In Science, we were able to make lots of noise banging a drum with rice on the top, a cymbal and twanging elastic bands in order to see how sound is created.

Mon 04 Jul 2022Year 3 have had a really busy week this week. They have been writing newspaper reports in English. They have been learning how to read different scales in maths when measuring liquids and mass. In Science they have been looking at the life of Beatrix Potter and why she is a famous mycologist. Ask the children about it and they will explain. They are looking forward to test week next week and can’t wait to show what they know. Practice spellings and times tables please if you can.
