Friday 5th December 

Hello everyone,

In our Science topic this week, we have continued to learn about sound. Yesterday we studied a plan of our school. In teams we discussed and planned where we would place fire alarms around the school to keep everyone safe. We then walked around the school, checking out where the different fire alarms are placed, discussing which classrooms would be able to hear the fire alarms easily.

In our English lessons we are continuing to read 'Kate on the Case.' This week we have revisited speech punctuation, writing dialogue between different characters within the text.

In our maths lessons we have been learning about quadrilaterals this week, studying all of their different properties.

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend,
Mrs Garland

Hey everyone,

This week everyone has worked so well in their assessments, we could not be more proud!

On Wednesday we had a Jack and the Beanstalk pantomine!! It was fantastic. We all had so much fun dancing and singing along to all the songs. The children showed great respect and listened well to the actors performing.

In our maths lessons this week, we have been working hard practising for our end of year multiplication check. We are all becoming much more confident with our times tables! Please encourage your child to practice these at home. If you need a reminder of your TTRS log ins, please let me know.

Just a reminder that on Monday it is an INSET day.

Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Garland

Hello everyone,

It has been a lovely but chilly week.

In our Geography lessons this week, we have continued to study the Geography of the UK. The children love exploring the atlases, with us this week looking at cities of the UK. Using Digimaps online we then compared the population of each city, seeing which cities are more populated.

In English we completed our End of Unit Write, writing a setting description for Madame Maude's compartment for 'Kate on the Case.'
The children wrote beautifully, using fronted adverbials for place, fronted adverbials for manner and expanded noun phrases.

In maths we have been learning about angles. In these lessons we have recapped turns clockwise and anti clockwise as well as comparing right angles, acute and obtuse angles.

Next week we have lots to look forward to, including a pantomime coming to school!!

Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Garland

Hello everyone,

This week we were very proud of Marlie for earning a Blue Peter Badge. Marlie wrote to Blue Peter telling them all about our ukulele lessons and performance in the summer and they were most impressed! Well done for going the extra mile and celebrating what we do in school Marlie.

In class we have revisiting coding on scratch in the computing suite. In pairs the children enabled their sprite to move using a selection of code. We also looked at how variables are used create games.

In science we carried out some experiments on sound. Looking at how sound is travelled through vibrations in the air. One of the ways we tested this was with a drum, a piece of paper and rice grains. When we hit the drum, the rice grains moved due to the vibrations travelling through the air.

Next week our PE days return to Monday and Tuesday.

Thanks everyone,
Mrs Garland

Hey everyone,

We have had a brilliant first week back.

All the children had their photos taken today. They all have a QR code in their bag. The photo will not be ready for a few days, but when they are ready you will be able to view them using this code.

In our PE lessons this week we have took part in yoga! The children really enjoyed this session, practising their mindfulness. We learnt how to do the tree pose, downward dog and mountain. We also practised our breathing exercises.

In Maths we have been learning about statistics. In these lessons we have interpreted pictograms and bar charts. The children showed great resilience in these lessons, using the charts to draw information.

Next week is Anti-bullying week, with a variety of activities going on throughout the week. On Monday the children can take part in odds socks day if they wish. Friday we are recognising Children in Need day.

On Monday we have a special assembly on Mental Health so we are moving our PE slot. So next week PE will be on TUESDAY and THURSDAY. I will send a reminder message.

I hope you all enjoy the fireworks this weekend (if you haven't already.)

Mrs Garland
