Good afternoon everybody - Happy Friday! This week, we have been working hard on our assessments and have had some pleasing results. i will now look at these with the children and plan the next stage of their learning journey in Maths and English. In Science and Geography, we worked on what the components of an electrical circuit are and how to draw circuit diagrams. Whilst in Geography, we explored the three parts of a river's journey and revisited the features of a river system. On Monday, we enjoyed another fun-filled French session with Madame Jordan, thinking about pets and how to describe the animals that we keep at home as pets and in the afternoon, we explored Electrical circuits and their components. We finished the week off with double P.E. - swimming on Thursday afternoon and today, Mrs Edwards (our Saints coach) carried out a session on football skills and small 7 a side games. Spellings are now on Dojo for the groups, this week, it's the 1st column, a paper copy was sent home at the beginning of the week. I have been impressed by how many people are reading every night, keep it up! The Wider Curriculum home learning is on the website and on Dojo and the children have had a paper copy. This will be due in by Thursday 7th April, so there is 1 week to create some quality pieces of home learning, (Have a look at the home learning being created in the gallery.) I have already had some superb pieces of Van Gogh inspired artwork, some Recommended Reads, super Jewish inspired cookery and a scientific Masterclass via video on Electrical Circuits. Next week, we will have French on Monday, P.E. on Thursday (swimming our final session) and on Friday with our Saints Southwest coach Mrs Edwards. We will continue work on our new unit Fractions in Maths and complete work on our text Extreme Animals in English, spark life into our Science unit on Electrical Circuits and explore Rivers further in Geography. Have a great weekend, spend quality time together, get out and about and enjoy the sunshine when it arrives. See you on Monday. Mr F Good afternoon everybody - Happy Friday! I can't believe we are at the end of another week already, they are flying by at the moment. This week, we have been working hard in English on our unit based on information texts - Extreme Animals, throughout the week, we have been researching a River Creature to use in our invent piece which we will turn into tha page of a class book about River Creatures, linked to our geography unit on Rivers. We have worked hard in Maths, on our unit - Fractions, this week we have focused on what a fraction is and equivalent fractions. In Science and Geography, we worked on what an electrical circuit is and what the features of a river system are. On Monday, we enjoyed another fun-filled French session with Madame Jordan, thinking about pets and how to describe the animals that we keep at home as pets and in the afternoon, several members of the class, went off to represent the school in another Cross Country run. They ran superbly and were very supportive to each other throughout their experience of running over difficult farm terrain - well done runners! (See pictures) We finished the week off with double P.E. - swimming on Thursday afternoon and today, Mrs Edwards (our Saints coach) carried out a session based on Tag Rugby, as many of our class will be attending a Tag Rugby Tournament next week.

This will all be between assessments, as it is Assessment Week next week. Have a great weekend, spend quality time together, get out and about and ebjoy the sunshine while it lasts. See you on Monday. Mr F Good afternoon everybody - Happy Friday! I can't believe we are at the end of another week already, they are flying by at the moment. A big thank you to everyone who wore red today and donated to Comic Relief, it is such a worthy cause. This week, we have been working hard in English on our unit based on information texts - Extreme Animals, this week, we have been imitating the text - it is jam packed full of facts about animals that can survive in extreme conditions and is written in an informal style, with humour. We have worked hard in Maths, on our unit Multiplication and Division, this week we have focused on formal written methods for multiplying and dividing 4 digit numbers by 1 and 2 digit numbers. In Science and Geography, we worked on what static electricity is and what the water cycle is and the different processes that water goes through during its time in the hydrological cycle. On Monday, we enjoyed another fun-filled French session with Madame Jordan, thinking about pets and how to describe the animals that we keep at home as pets. We finished the week off with double P.E. - swimming on Thursday afternoon and today, Mrs Edwards (our Saints coach) carried out a session based on speed and stamina. In terms of activity, we have the third instalment of the Cross Country series on Monday at Sleakers Farm. our team of runners will attend with Mrs Ware - good luck team, you will be brilliant! Our Friday afternoon was ended with our work on Vincent Van Gogh, the artist that we are working on during our latest art unit. We found out abou Van Gogh's life and produced some very artistic information pages in our sketch books. (See photos) We then moved on to create our own version of Starry Night. Finally, we finished the week, after assembly, sharing our home learning and as it is Comic Relief, jokes with our classmates. There were some crackers. my favourites being quite topical: Who is the Covid artist? Vincent van Cough! What do fashion designers use to wash? Coco Flannel! Spellings are on Dojo for the groups, this week, it's the 6th and final column. I have been impressed with how many people are reading every night, keep it up! The Wider Curriculum home learning is on the website and on Dojo and the children have had a paper copy. This will be due in by Thursday 7th April, so there are 3 weeks to create some quality pieces of home learning, I have already had some superb pieces of Van Gogh inspired artwork, some Recommended Reads, super Jewish inspired cookery and a scientific Masterclass via video on Electrical Circuits. In terms of home learning, can I remind everybody that the expectation is that children read for at least 10 minutes at home every day, this can be magazines, newspapers, manuals, cookery books, as well as their reading books, as it is all reading. This is to promote reading for pleasure as there is nothing better than a good book. Remember, that you are your child’s greatest role model, so if they see you enjoying a good book, it really promotes good learning habits. I will ask that reading is recorded in their new reading journals and that these come in every day so that I can monitor their reading. I would also like children to spend time working on their times tables, which are vital in so many areas of the Maths curriculum. They can do this through Times Tables Rock Stars, I will send the passwords home again for this. I have also posted a list of great websites to practise on. Next week, we will have French on Monday, P.E. on Thursday (swimming) and Friday. We will start work on our new unit Fractions in Maths and continue work on our text Extreme Animals in English, spark life into our Science unit on Electrical Circuits and explore the features of Rivers in Geography. Have a great weekend, spend quality time together, get out and about and enjoy reading together. See you on Monday. Mr F Good afternoon everybody - Happy Friday! Thank you to those of you who could join us for the whole school sharing assembly this afternoon, it was nice to see you. Another action packed week - 5 days this week full to the brim with learning! This week, we have been working hard in English on our new unit based on information texts - Extreme Animals, this week, we have been immersing ourselves in the text - if you would like to see the text, I have put a copy on Google Classroom for the children to use in their lessons, please do take a look at it with them. We have worked hard in Maths, on our unit Multiplication and Division, this week we have focused on formal written methods for multiplying 2 and 3 digit numbers by 1 and 2 digit numbers. In Science and Geography, we completed our elicitation tasks for our new units, to see what the children already know and what they need to learn. On Monday, we enjoyed another fun-filled French session with Madame Jordan, thinking about months of the year, numbers and how to say our birthdays. On Wednesday, 17 of the class ran with the year 6s as part of our school Cross Country team, competing against 8 other schools from across the MAT. They were superb and I was incredibly proud of the performance. Weather permitting, they will have to do it all over again before the end of the month, this time at Sleekers Farm on Monday 21st - Good luck team!
