Update from Year 3 Teachers
Fri 09 Oct 2020Year 3 have started their new Maths topic this week and are starting to learn how to cross over 10 when adding and subtracting. In English, we have been learning about instructions and fronted adverbials of time. The children have enjoyed learning about different landmarks all over the world in our Topic lesson this week and have been deciding which ones they’d like to visit the most!

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.

Update from Year 3 Teachers
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!

Update from Mrs Cave & Miss Woolley 5W
Fri 02 Oct 2020Good news for English this week. The children have persuaded Mrs Cave to go on 26 different holidays with their travel brochures! For poetry morning, we read some poems by Walter de La Mare and Edward Lear and wrote our own poems in the style of 'The Owl and the Pussy-Cat.'

Update from Mrs Marshall 5M
Fri 02 Oct 2020In Year 5 this week, we have started to create our internal structures for our Modroc sculptures! The children used newspaper and masking tape to do this. We also enjoyed writing poetry on National Poetry Day (Thursday), investigating poetry by Walter de la Mare and Edward Lear and from this were able to write a poem in the style of Edward Lear’s ‘The Owl and the Pussy Cat. Our knowledge is growing about Space as we learned about how day and night are caused and were amazed to hear that in some parts of the world at some points in the year, there is almost no daylight and it is dark for most of each day!

Updates from Year 4 Teachers
Thu 01 Oct 2020This week in Year 4 we used yeast, sugar and water in a zip lock food bag to represent a cow's stomach during digestion. We found the mixture started to bubble and the gas from this caused the bags to expand.
It was also National Poetry Day on the 1st October and in celebration of this we created our own version of Michael Rosen's poem 'Don't'. We enjoyed creating some nonsense but rhyming 'Don'ts' for our poems.
Finally, in English we learnt how to write instructions on how to make an Egyptian plaque out of salt dough. Examples of the plaques we made in preparation for this are included below!
