Update from Mrs Marshall 5M
Fri 09 Oct 2020In 5M this week, we have ventured out into space in English and found another solar system. One of the moons orbiting the planet Polyphemus contained 6 legged bioluminescent creatures. We have been enjoying creating our own creature and writing a non-chronological report describing the creature and other information about it. In Art, the children started to use Mod roc to provide a hard outer layer to their sculptures.

Update from Year 4 Teachers
Fri 09 Oct 2020This week in Science we made a comic strip about the journey of digestion where we used thought bubbles and speech bubbles to animate and bring the part of digestion to life.
In DT next week we will finally be making our shadufs that we have been planning for the last couple of weeks. In preparation for this we have been cutting the wood with saws making sure we measure this correctly beforehand.

Update from Year 6 Teachers
Fri 02 Oct 2020On Thursday, Year 6 had a virtual Teams meeting with Mrs York from Friesland Secondary School. She spoke to the children about the school and how much she was looking forward to seeing more of them in the future. All the children listened well and asked really important questions.
This week we have moved onto the four operations in maths and had the opportunity to explore some of Wilfred Owen's war poetry as well as Allan Ahlberg's well known poem 'Please Mrs Butler'. They had great fun coming up with their own humorous versions.

Fri 02 Oct 2020Year 3 have thoroughly enjoyed Science this week. We’ve been investigating friction using different materials, a ramp and a toy car. The children enthusiastically predicted how far the car would travel on each material before trying the real thing and seeing how close their predictions were!
