Fri 20 Mar 2026This week, we have been working on using expanded noun phrases, adverbials and speech for our Mayan narrative inspired by The Chocolate Tree story. In Maths, we have finished our unit on fractions and have been looking at recognising tenths and hundredths and tenths as decimals. We have been doing lots of RE this week too, looking at the Easter Story, focusing on the key events such as The Last Supper, Maundy Thursday, Judas’ betrayal and have looked into different crosses and the symbolism they have for Christians. In Spanish, we have looked at how adjectives (colours) change depending on the gender of the noun. We are really looking forward to next week and our Albany Adventure on Thursday! Remember to keep practising your spellings and in your handwriting and times table homework which is due in every Friday – next week please bring in for Thursday due to our INSET day.
Below are our spellings for next week:

Year 6 News
Fri 20 Mar 2026The Year 6 children at Hagg Farm have had a fantastic week, taking part in a range of activities including abseiling and rock hopping. We can't wait to hear about their adventures when they return to school next week.
In school, we completed our Easter RE unit of work and had some brilliant discussions about whether Jesus is the Messiah, using bible stories to help us reach our conclusions. We then thought about what a modern day messenger would say or do. I was really impressed with the morals shown in everyone's responses. We have also been learning about the Titanic in some of our Reading and Maths lessons. We worked in groups to try and decide who was to blame for the Titanic sinking and justified our opinions.
Next week, we have the Albany Adventure to look forward to in the final week of the term.
Enjoy the weekend,

Year 6 News
Fri 13 Mar 2026This week we have practiced our dancing in PE where we began putting together a routine, we are excellent!
We had an afternoon working hard on our DT project - moving vehicles - creating the base for the vehicle cutting wood and joining the pieces to create a sturdy structure.
On Thursday we had an exciting science day where we moved around school in our houses learning about female computer scientists, creating boats testing hankies (and learning about snot!) and creating poster entries for the competition. We had an amazing time!
In English we have published our balanced arguments on whether or not the work of Alan Turing should have remained a secret or we should have used it to end World War 2 immediately.
The Countdown to Hagg Farm is on! We leave first thing Monday morning so for those of you attending, get packing! Children going on the trip must bring a packed lunch on Monday.
Have a good weekend

Year 5 News
Fri 13 Mar 2026We have had test week in school this week and all the children tried really hard. Yesterday, we had Science day with the theme 'Curiosity'. Every child in school took part in four different activities. In Year 5, we looked at what makes boats float and they had to try and make the best float. In Year 6, they researched famous female scientists, celebrating their achievements. In Year 4, they investigated what makes the best hankie and in Year 3 they discussed what they thought was going to happen in the future. It was so lovely to see all the children working together as a team and enjoy the day.
Because we have had test week, the spellings will carry over to next week and will be tested next Friday. Have a lovely weekend.

Fri 13 Mar 2026This week has been Test Week- well done children for trying and working hard 🙂
Scores will be given at Parents Evening on 24th March.
We have also continued learning about the Mayans and where they settled and have started our Mayan masks. In music we have learned about what an ostinato is. Science Day was a busy yet great day making posters, researching female scientists, seeing how many marbles could fit in a boat and learning about snot- sorry mucus. The question was " What material makes the best handkerchief". Cotton wool or tissue came top out of the materials we had and tin foil and cotton fabric the worst- this last one surprised us...The children seemed to have lots of fun 🙂
Next week, spellings are the same as last week as not tested this week due to Test Week.
4M have PE on Monday rather than Friday.
Mrs Marshall is at Hagg Farm with the Year 6s on residential so is leaving you with Miss Weatherall 🙂 You will have a great week I am sure 🙂
Read, complete handwriting and times table sheets, practice time tables on TTRS and look at the Mayan homework- I love the Mayan headdress that has been brought in 🙂

Fri 13 Mar 2026Test week this week and the children have persevered fantastically. We have seen some real progression with the assessments so the children should be very proud of themselves. Science day was a massive highlight on Thursday, with the children learning all about buoyancy and snot, what’s not to love. We have continued learning about Roman Britain, looking at roads this week and how Roman ideas effect how we live now. Problem solving in P.E showed us some real leader qualities in some children and when creating PowerPoint presentation in computing some real expertise shined through. Have a great weekend everyone, should be a sunny one.

Fri 06 Mar 2026This week, we have been working hard with our revision and in Maths, we have been learning how to find percentages of amounts, using our knowledge of equivalent fractions to help. We have linked this to interpreting pie charts, to find out how many people are represented in each section. In English, we have written our balanced arguments, explaining both sides with evidence. Ready for our moving vehicles, in our DT lesson, everyone created a working circuit with a switch and a motor.
Remember to complete the order forms for your hoodies.
Have a great weekend.
