Even rockstars do arithmetic tests!
Super spellers!
This week we have been working on the two different ways to spell ‘shus’ – cious and -tious. This afternoon we had great fun testing our partners when sitting back to back, with one person facing the screen reading a word and the other trying hard to spell it correctly. Keep up the hard work guys!
Researching The Great Plague
This week we (including me!) have learnt so many new facts about The Great Plague. The children have been working on creating anchor charts to show many of the interesting things they have learnt. I can’t wait to see them finished and displayed.
National Share A Story Month
If you have a favourite book or favourite place you like to read at home, why not send a photo in to Mrs Jackson at [email protected] It would be great to celebrate the reading you do at home too.
Spending just 10 minutes a day reading and sharing stories with children can make a crucial difference to their future plus it’s a lovely thing to do!
Ready, Steady, Cook!
This morning year 5 hooked themselves into their Food Technology case study by taking on a ready, steady, cook challenge. Each crew split into 4 smaller teams and were given a mystery bag of ingredients. It was their choice how they prepared the foods and used them to create a dish. Check out the photos on the slide show below to see how they worked together to design and make their dishes.
The children produced fantastic dishes and I was very impressed with their team work. They were so proud of the way they presented their final food.
We had a special judge who came to sample the year 5 dishes and select winners for presentation and taste!
We are scientists!
Today we had a fantastic science hook day in Crew Jackson. The children shared their previous knowledge on the biology of the human body, by working collaboratively to draw where they thought the organs are inside themselves.
They then went on to check the correct location and shape of the organs and work together to ensure they could locate them more accurately. Well done guys for for some fantastic work.
Shout out for amazing scientific writing
Well done Summer-Mai on a massive shout from Mr Sprakes at XP Trust for producing some amazing expedition work last term. He was blown away by your awesome scientific writing as you reflected on our guiding question and case study 2.
Times Tables Rock Stars day!!! (International dance day) – Friday 29th April
On Friday the 29th April, we will be having a rock star dress up day in years 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1. Times Tables Rock Stars is an excellent site which helps children practice and improve their times tables. All children in these year groups have a login. To promote it’s use across school, we are encouraging children to dress up as rock stars on the above date. Not only will children have the opportunity to use this site on this day, we will be linking it to International Dance day which falls on the same date. Therefore, in the afternoon, children will also be dancing and crews will be making ‘rock-style’ music videos. Pictures and videos of the day will be blogged by each crew.
Red Nose Day 🔴
Well done to the winners of the ‘Design a Red Nose’ competition! There were some fantastic entries but the school council voted and decided that these would be the winning entries. Well done to all who submitted an entry.
We are also pleased to announce that the school managed to sell £300 worth of red noses in the run up to the event before raising a further £301.58 through donations when wearing something red. Thank you to every one for your generous donations!
