Year 4 Latest News
Thu 11 Nov 2021In Year 4 this week, we have found out fascinating facts about model aircraft in order write a non-chronological report (We found out that the first model aeroplane was discovered from Ancient Egyptian times). We have been learning about South Africa and the different biomes within the continent and we discovered more about Nelson Mandela and his experiences in prison. In music, we enjoyed listening to some music written by the composer Henri Mancini and learning about beat and ostinato. We composed our own rhythms and played tuned and untuned percussion.

Year 6 Latest News
Thu 11 Nov 2021This week in Year 6 we have been learning about Remembrance and why it is important. We have been looking at the famous poem 'In Flanders Fields' and why it means so much to so many people. The children have been really respectful and demonstrated great maturity when taking part in the two minutes silence on Remembrance Day. In maths we have been busy consolidating our understanding of factors, multiples, prime, square and cubed numbers. It has really highlighted how important times tables are. We would like to say a huge thank you to Mr Mercer for coming into school and talking to us about being a driving instructor and letting us explore the modified car.

Year 5 Latest News
Fri 15 Oct 2021In RE this week, we have found out about the work of inspirational people such as Mother Theresa and Martin Luther King. We thought about their qualities and why they had such an impact on the lives of so many people. We used Martin Luther King's 'I have a dream' speech and created our own, thinking about our own hopes and dreams. There were so many excellent and thoughtful ideas! After completing our sculptures last week, we have evaluated our work, reflecting on the things that went well and how we could make changes. They look great!
Well done for such a brilliant start to Year 5. Enjoy the half term break.

Fri 15 Oct 2021Year 6 have been busy finishing their Greek pots this week and have had their final Spanish lesson before the half term holiday. In maths, we have been looking at short division and building on what we already know to start giving remainders as fractions and decimals! In English, we have been looking at levels of formality and how to correctly punctuate speech. It has been a fantastic term and we are so pleased with how well the children are doing and how hard they are working. We hope you all have a lovely two weeks off! See you in November!

Year 3 Latest News
Fri 15 Oct 2021This week Year 3 have been completing their first R.E. topic called “Beliefs and questions”. We were really lucky when Mr. Roper came into Year 3 to teach us a lesson all about how the Ten Commandments can be used today to guide us in our lives. It was really great to have someone so knowledgeable in class. We thoroughly enjoyed the lesson. Our next topic after the half term is all about Asia and particularly India, China and Japan. See what you can find out over the holidays.

Year 4 Latest News
Fri 08 Oct 2021In the last science lesson we completed a cartoon strip of digestion and it was great to know the parts of our body on our school trip as 4 Year 4 children were mummified and parts of 'their body' (material versions on velcro) were placed 'in' canopic jars. We also got to see two 'real' mummies (as well as an Egyptian mummified cat) and create our own clay shabtis (that go into the afterlife and become our slaves). The rest of the museum was also fascinating and the children all seem to have a different favourite part but it was lovely to see the children so enthusiastic and showing off 'sticky' knowledge from their previous learning in different topics over the last year.

Year 5 Latest News
Fri 08 Oct 2021This week in English, we have created a non-chronological report, based on the creatures that we invented last week. We have thought about specific features of the anatomy of our creature and other important information such as their diet and habitat. In our writing, we tried to sound like experts by using technical vocabulary. In Science, we discovered why we have seasons and in topic, we learnt about the different time zones around the world.

Year 4 Latest News
Thu 30 Sep 2021This week, the children had to decide whether or not they would like to live in Ancient Egypt and the majority did think that the lack of electronics would be an issue for t hem. And the fact that if you were a slave, the Pharaoh owned you and when they died would kill you so that you could help them into the afterlife. In Maths, a bit of codebreaking was done as we worked out the value of numbers written in numerals. Spanish was more of a challenge this week as Senora Creese asked the children to have a short conversation with a partner in Spanish. We have also checked on our mummifying tomatoes and have found that the control is soft and squidgy and smells of vinegar, whereas the ones with the specially prepared powder have remained firmer.
