Reminders:
Times Table Challenge will be on Tuesday 11th
February, so get practising! Visit www.teachingtables.co.uk and
select the bingo machine for the game we use in school.
Next half term we will be creating something very
special in our art sessions. Therefore each child will need a plain
pillow case if possible. It will be painted and cut up so unfortunately it
won’t be retuned in the same condition. If any parents/carers are able to spare
any more pillow cases, this would be fantastic! Thank you in advance!
Our next Celebration Assembly is on Friday 7th
February, we have lots more learning to share so we really hope you can
make it!
As part of our celebration assembly, the children
will be dressing up in togas. Therefore we are hoping that all the children
would be able to come to school with a white sheet and some safety pins to use
to make a toga over their school uniform. The sheet shouldn’t be damaged so
will hopefully be returned in the same condition!
Core Subjects:
Numeracy:
This week in Numeracy the children have been
handling data, which will including reading and interpreting various graphs and
databases, we even created our own graphs to illustrate our own results. Next
week the children will be learning about mean, median, mode and range and will
also be looking at probability!
Literacy:
This week in literacy pupils have enjoyed
researching all about Alexander the Great for their own biography. After some
thorough research about his life, pupils have written an introduction to their
biography, which has included the 5 W’s. Next week pupils will continue to use
their research to write further biography paragraph; which look at Alexander’s
early life, conquests and legacy.
SPELLINGS: This week, the
spellings are: impress – impression, progress – progression, discuss
– discussion, permit – permission, compare – comparison, conclude
– conclusion, decide – decision, collide - collision, divide –
division, extend – extension. Your child has received a copy of these
spelling and they will be tested on Friday 7th February.
PE:
During
PE this week pupils have continued to build on their skill development in
rugby. This week pupils have been practicing how to beat an opponent using the
side step. It was really great to see this applied into small sided games- and
as a result some exciting tries were scored!
The
timetable for PE sessions is as follows; 5/6M and 5/6MO PE
sessions are on Monday afternoon and 5/6G PE sessions are on a Tuesday morning.
The outdoor sessions will be held on a Thursday afternoon for all classes.
Outdoor kit includes; a warm hooded top or jumper, warm jogging bottoms, a
white t-shirt and outdoor trainers.
Please ensure that your child has the appropriate
kit in school for each session. Thank you in advance.
ICT:
This week, the children have been continuing to
learn about E-Safety. They have begun to compile the images and text needed for
their own promotional video to raise awareness of cyberbullying.
Science:
We took Science outside this week to observe the
effects of mixing materials to create an irreversible change. Firstly, we mixed
mints and cola, and then we mixed bicarbonate of soda and vinegar. Both of
these experiments, while being very messy, created the gas C02!
Topic:
This week the children have been creating their
presentations for the topic of Ancient Greece. The children have done a superb
job in bringing their ideas and research to life, either using a written, ICT
or art focus.
