This morning was our first opportunity to come together as a phase crew since returning to school after the half-term. It was a great to hear what everybody had been learning in class this week and to celebrate a fantastic start to the term – well done everybody, keep up the fab work!
Special shout outs for those children receiving HOWLs certificates today, and to our OOTW champions too. Who will be celebrating next week?
This morning, we have been investigating air resistance by creating different sized parachutes to see how long they would take to reach the floor. We found that the bigger the parachute the slower it takes an object to fall to the ground. Great work Crew Ambler!
Another Thursday, another fabulous assembly for Years 5 and 6! Well done to all our HoWLs and OOTW winners and thank you to the parents who were able to join us.
A reminder that Accelerated Reader minutes are being counted so keep up that practice at home!
We had a number of requests for additional homework at our Y6 network. As we have just finished our ‘place value’ unit of study, I have complied questions from previous test papers for children to complete at home. You should find a range of questions linked to place value, ordering numbers, negative numbers and rounding.
Share any photos or work to [email protected] as we like to celebrate hard work in our phase community meetings
Thanks, Mr Mumby
Thanks to all parents who attended the Y6 meeting; I have attached the slides as promised. Please email me at [email protected] for any further details.
Together we are crew,
Mr Mumby
Yesterday afternoon, Y5&6 took part in family learning. The children and parents were given the task of creating a solar system on Scratch and coding the Earth to orbit the Sun. I was very impressed with the coding skills on show and how well everyone worked together. Well done Crew Ambler and parents 😁
Congratulations to all our HOWL point and OOTW winners – it was great to come together this morning and celebrate your achievements in our phase crew. Thank you to the parents who were able to join us to celebrate as well.
A few reminders – don’t forget to mark your HOWL points as you go; see Miss Myers if you would like to join the choir and attend Young Voices in February; and, we look forward to seeing your Ronald Dahl dress ups next week!

You are warmly welcome to join our crews for Family Learning on Wednesday 28th September from 1:30. Linking to our expedition, our exploration of space, children will be tasked with coding an animation of the Solar System. No experience required and fun guaranteed!
See you there, Mr Mumby
Hi, please find the Y5/6 homework menu attached. In addition, reading is a vital life skill, please support us by listening to your child at least 3 times a week. As SATs is fast approaching, reading daily will support your child’s reading fluency and accuracy. Books read at home can contribute to your child’s Accelerated Reader data. Links are in the PDF below:
Kind Regards, Mr Mumby
