Year 5 Latest News
Thu 30 Sep 2021This week in Science, we have discovered why the shape of the moon changes and what the 8 phases are called. In English, we all created eye catching and informative travel guides, which were linked to our Humanities topic of North America. Some of the destinations included California, Florida, New York, the Grand Canyon and even the Bahamas! We were certainly convinced that we needed to visit.

Year 3 Latest News
Thu 30 Sep 2021Year 3 have been working on their fronted adverbials this week in English. If you are not sure, please ask your child to explain. In maths we are still working on place value and number lines up to 1000. In Science, we have been looking at friction on different surfaces and explaining what happens. In topic we are looking at the different countries within the continents. Maybe we could all dream of taking a trip way some day!

Fri 24 Sep 2021This week in Year 4 the children have been excited about designing their own Shaduf and are looking forward to making it in the coming weeks. Science has been exciting as they were able to munch on crackers last week and this week will be pushing bread in a plastic bag to replicate part of the digestion process! The tomatoes are continuing to mummify!

Fri 23 Jul 2021This week has been exciting in Year 4. We started the week with Sports Day which was our first one at Albany Juniors. The whole Year 4 team are so proud of all of the children who took part. They showed that they were resilient in overcoming challenging events. We also started Art Day on Tuesday, looking at outdoor activities and sports. We will be making our final sculptures out of wire on Friday. On Thursday, we got to make our sandwiches that we have been planning this half term. It was lovely to sit outside to taste them and evaluate our product. We were also really excited to find out who are new teachers will be for Year 5.
The whole Year 4 team are so proud of the children for their hard work this year, they haven't had a smooth sailing year but they have still managed to make excellent progress.

Year 3 News
Thu 15 Jul 2021Year 3 had a really exciting Maths day on Tuesday. The theme was the Olympic games. We went outside to order a human timeline putting all the previous Olympic games in date order. We cracked codes about the mystery of the Winter Olympic Bobsleigh sabotage. We used coordinates to uncover various equipment used in the games. We used challenge cards to solve tricky word problems in groups and used addition and subtraction including fractions, to solve a riddle. The children really enjoyed the day and it was lovely to see all the maths they had learned being used in context.
