News Roundup:
Friday Celebration Assembly:
Thank you to all the parent/cares who attended
our Celebration Assembly today, we are sure you will agree the children
completed some amazing tasks last half term; from their Japanese artwork to learning
some Judo moves. Well done to all
children in Year 5/6 for continuing to work hard.
Year 6 Numeracy Book
The children in Year 6 have been given a
‘Study Guide’ and a ‘Question Book’ to work through ahead of the SAT’s. This is a resource the school have paid for as
we feel it will be beneficial for the children to continue to practise and
reinforce their learning at home. We ask
for your support in encouraging your child to complete a page or two on a
regular basis and send it back into school.
For each 5 pages completed your child will receive a Headteacher
sticker.
Year 6 SAT’s
The
Year 6’s will be completing their SAT’s in three weeks, the week commencing
Monday 12th May.
As
we have the privilege of having two additional qualified teachers we have
decided to split the Year 5’s and 6’s for the next three weeks. The luxury of this is all children will be in
a smaller class than they would be normally. All children will be covering the same
learning but they will just be working in a smaller group, this will therefore
mean more 1:1 time with the adult in the class.
Core
Subjects:
Numeracy:
This week in Numeracy the children have been recapping
some taught strategies from across the year.
This week the children have been looking at measure (Length, Mass and
Capacity). They have been discussing the
language used and converting numbers into different units of measure; for
example 1000g = 1 kg, 100cm – 1 metre.
The children have also looked at time, telling the
time, both on digital and analogue clocks.
They have then been using this knowledge to complete word problems.
Literacy:
This week in Literacy the children have been
discussing a controversial question: ‘Is modern technology affecting the sleep
patterns of young people?’ This has led
to interesting conversations about modern technology and if this does affect
young people’s sleep patterns and social
skills.
SPELLINGS: This week, the spellings are: stapled, enough, umbrella, released,
familiar, surprised, mattered, disruptive, physically
Other
areas of the curriculum:
PE: This half term the children will be learning the
routine to ‘The Big Dance Pledge’ which is a chance to learn a dance routine
with the rest of the world! If your
child wants to continue to learn the dance at home they can use the following
website: http://www.bigdance.org.uk/big-dance-pledge/
Please ensure your child brings in their PE kit on a
Monday for 5/6G and 5/6M, Tuesday for 5/6H and outdoor PE continues to be on a
Thursday. Due to the weather becoming
warmer, we would highly recommend the children bring in a water bottle in order
to rehydrate themselves.
Spanish: This half term the children will
continue to learn the Spanish vocabulary for objects related to the
seaside. They will be creating a picture
which will include a number of the vocabulary to describe the images. A number of children have been using the
Spanish dictionaries to find different Spanish words which they want to include
within their picture. If your child
would like to learn additional Spanish as home, the following website will help
with their pronunciation: www.studyspanish.com
