After a morning of editing and improving our stories, we enjoyed sharing them in small story-telling groups. It was lovely to see the courage that everyone showed at reading their own story out loud for others to listen to, as well as the compassion and respect the children showed each other when listening.
Well done Year 6 – we are so proud of you all! x
Well done Esmae for winning Mrs Fitz’s Year 6 attendance raffle prize today!
Another lovely week celebrating lots of success in our Year 5/6 Crews! Once again it was lovely to hear lots of shout outs linking to our character traits and hearing positive things about different children!
Keep up the great work everyone!
In year 6, we continue to work on the spelling pattern of adding able, able, ably, ably to the end of words. Yesterday we kept ourselves active by playing a game of ‘Boom boom clap’. It was great fun but also it was fabulous to see the children recalling the correct spelling patterns.
Last night, I was blown away when Layla’s Dad shared these photos with me. A massive shout out for some amazing home learning linked to our expedition on rainforests. Layla has spent time at home this week building an Amazon Rainforest hut and I think the children in our class text ‘The Explorer’ would welcome this as a new home to stay in. Thank you for bringing it in to share with our crew – it looks fabulous on display in our classroom.
Today in our English lesson we ensured we kept ourselves active as this not only helped us stay engaged but meant we had opportunities to move around the room and work collaboratively with others. In spelling we went on a treasure hunt around the room to read the words and select the correct missing word for each sentence. After we completed our story plans, we danced around the room to music and when the music stopped we shared our ideas and told our story verbally to a new partner. Some were more willing dancers than others!
Well done everyone – great learning!
This morning in English we applied our knowledge of speech punctuation and how to use dialogue to show character and action. The children produced some excellent short extracts linked to our class text which were proved further through the use of peer critique. Well done guys – I am excited to plan and write our chapters next week.
This week we are geographers as we explore how the physical characteristics of a location impact the human activity that takes place there. We have compared Brazil and the UK, focusing on farming, transport and leisure activities. I am really impressed with the craftmanship and quality shown in the children’s work.
We are excited to announce that auditions for this year’s school production will be taking place via video submission.
Your child will be bringing home a script for the role or roles they wish to audition for. To take part, they should record a short video of themselves reading for that part (or parts). If they would also like to include singing the relevant song, this can be found on YouTube.
Once recorded, please email your child’s audition video(s) to [email protected] no later than 3rd October.
This approach allows every child the opportunity to audition in a relaxed environment and ensures we can give each submission the time and attention it deserves.
We look forward to seeing the children’s talents shine and are excited to begin casting our production. Thank you in advance for your support in helping your child prepare their audition.
Kind regards,
The Sherlock and Cinders Crew
Another week of gorgeous shout outs and celebrations for lots of children who have demonstrated our HOWLs and Character Traits over the last week. It was great to hear so many positive shoutouts from the children too!
