Year 6 Update
Fri 04 Dec 2020This week, year 6 have taken part in their assessment week. It has been a week full of expectation of showcasing our 5rs. The children have been impeccably behaved throughout the week and have shown plenty of resilience, taken many risks and taken responsibility for their own learning. We are extremely proud in the way they have conducted themselves throughout the week, also being respectful towards other year groups undertaking the same tasks.

Year 4 Update
Fri 04 Dec 2020We have been really impressed this week with the attitude and effort shown by everyone during their tests this week. It has been brilliant to see the progress children are making. In Science, we have been investigating which drinks are good for our teeth and which ones could cause decay. We used litmus paper, to test the acidity of a range of drinks as acid causes damage to our teeth. The children were amazed that the bacteria in plaque reacts with sugar to create acid. We have set up an experiment using eggs, to see which liquids damage our enamel. We can't wait to find out the results next week!

5M Update
Fri 04 Dec 2020This week, 5M have been working hard to show how much they have learned during the term in their assessments- they should all be very proud. As well as this, we found out about foods eaten in the Indus Valley and the children crafted their own beads out of clay. They are ready to paint next week. In Science, we are now having fun testing out Newton metres and carrying out investigations.

5M Update
Fri 27 Nov 2020In 5M this week, we found out about the archaeologists, who discovered the Indus Valley. In Maths, the focus is now very much on knowing our times tables as we have been finding out about multiples and factors of numbers, prime and composite numbers and squared and cubed numbers. Considering ways in which writer’s can make their work more descriptive and to hook a reader was the target in English when we watched the film clip ‘Alma’. Oh, and 5M’s class elf arrived slightly early but he has to Elf Isolate… this didn’t stop him helping himself to Mrs Limb’s mince pies!!!!

5W Update
Fri 27 Nov 2020As part of World Children’s day on 20th November, Ben and Chloe, 5W’s Albany ambassadors, prepared and taught a lesson about refugees and about how to raise issues through letter writing. Ben and Chloe helped other children with their work and answered lots of questions. Well done! Mr Robertson and Mrs Goffin have been impressed by 5W’s independent writing this week and the children have been very creative in their descriptions of weather to create the mood of a story.

Updates from Year 6 Teachers
Fri 27 Nov 2020It has been so lovely to have 6T back this week. We have continued our work on 'Little Freak' in English and explored the different feelings and emotions the character experiences. We have begun our work on fractions and the children have been learning how to convert between mixed and improper fractions. They are doing brilliantly.

Update from Year 3 Teachers
Fri 27 Nov 2020Year three had a really exciting morning on Thursday. They managed to connect with two classes at the infant school through ZOOM. Year three had written their own version of the Diwalli story “Rama and Sita” and a few children were selected to read their stories to the infants. It was a really great opportunity to connect at these sensitive times. Can’t wait for the next one!

6T Update
Fri 20 Nov 2020This week, a large part of 6T have been learning from home and online. They have been accessing Microsoft Teams meetings with Mr Tivey four times a day, looking at many different areas of the curriculum. The children have been really engaged and have produced some fantastic work in English and Maths, especially in difficult circumstances. Mr Tivey is proud of the way the children have conducted themselves throughout the week. They have worked extremely hard. Hopefully this will continue into the early part of next week before they arrive back in school on Wednesday.

6H Update
Fri 20 Nov 2020We had a great start to anti-bullying week with a wonderful assembly all about Ned and how important it is to keep going even when we find things difficult. In class, it has been a little strange without 6T but everyone has continued to work hard. We have been working on how we can improve our descriptive writing in English and BODMAS in maths. During our reading and topic sessions, we have been looking at what life was like for a Victorian child and the many horrible jobs they had to do. Needless to say, I think they prefer modern life! In science, we have been exploring electrical circuits and created our own, experimenting with different components and how we can make bulbs brighter.
