Friday 20th September

Happy Friday!

It's the end of another full week and the children have sung their hearts out this week.

This week, we have enjoyed exploring our English text Here we Are by Oliver Jeffers, exploring noun phrases and relative clauses.  In Maths, we have focused on Place Value, for the year 4s numbers with 5 digits and for the year 5s, we have explored numbers to 1,000,000. 
In science, we learnt what a mixture is and in History we have continued our topic on the Benin Kingdom.

The year 5s enjoyed a day of music  with some professional singers at the Whiddon Autumn Festival, which was held at Mortonhampstead Primary School. They sang well, with some staying on to participate in an evening concert in the church. Well done year 5, you sounded amazing.

An upcoming event for the year 5s is Bikeability (cycling proficiency). This will take place during the week beginning Monday 11th November. The letter will come out next week but the consent form for this is available through the link below. If you wish your child to take part (it's free of charge and teaches them a valuable life skill) you will need to complete the consent form by 1st November at the latest.

Next week, we will complete our English text Here we Are, continue working on Place Value in Maths, explore the society of the Benin Kingdom in History and investigate Separating mixtures in Science. 

P.E. will continue to be on Tuesday and Friday for this half term so please send the children in with their kits on these days. 

Many thanks to those of you who were able to attend our parent information evening on Monday at 5pm. If you were unable to attend, the information that we shared is available on the class story section of Class Dojo. 

Finally, the children will come home with their homework books today. In these there are spellings for this week, Maths questions based on what we have been doing in class and a topic homework with a choice of activities. Please could the book come back in on Thursday next week for marking and so that the children can add next week's home learning.

Have a great weekend everybody, see you on Monday.
