    This 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.

    This week, the children have been working hard completing their summer assessments- some have claimed they have enjoyed them! We also enjoyed discussing sandwiches and what their favourite bread and fillings were. We have also been exploring a British map in order to locate cities. We are looking forward to some exciting events next week such as the School Disco.

    In 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 2022 Miss Hubert

    It 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.

    This week, year 4 have been writing poetry in English in a number of different styles. 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.

    Year 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.

    Year 5 have had a busy few weeks. 

    The trip to Skegness last week was brilliant. The children really enjoyed themselves and it was great seeing them playing on the beach. The visit to the ice cream van was definitely worth the walk! 

     

    Both classes have now visited the allotment in Stapleford, where they were able to explore and take part in pond dipping activities and a mini beast hunt. On both visits, they found a variety of creatures! 

     

    We were really impressed with the effort that everyone put in to their events during sports day on Tuesday. They showed great determination. 

     

    Well done to 5O, who have now finished their swimming lessons. The children have made great progress and they will receive their certificates soon.

     

    Next week, we have our slumber party to look forward to!

    It has been another action-packed week in Year 4 with Sports Day being able to take place on a beautifully sunny day and the Summer Fayre on Thursday afternoon. Well done to all the pupils who took part in a sporting event and thank you parents for coming to see our wonderful children:-)

    We have also finished our Viking, Electricity and DT topics (the children loved making their torches) and have started the final topics of the year- The British Isles and Sound. Next week we will start our new DT topic (making sandwiches- yum yum!).
