English has four major word classes: nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs.  Nouns are the most common type of word, followed by verbs. Adjectives are less common and adverbs are even less common.

Many words belong to more than one word class. For example, book can be used as a noun or as a verb; fast can be used as an adjective or an adverb:

It’s an interesting book. (noun)

We ought to book a holiday soon. (verb)

He loves fast cars. (adjective)

Don’t drive so fast! (adverb)

We have also been looking at prepositions and determiners!  I wonder if you can spot nouns whilst on a walk or use adjectives to describe nouns on a car journey?  The word class game can be so much fun!

#Take10toread in Crew Overson

On Friday morning, in Crew Overson, we took part in the the National Literacy Trust take 10 to read challenge. The children really enjoyed listening live to Tom Percival read an extract from his new book then teach them how to show different emotions in their drawings.

We then spent 10 minutes sharing books and then spent sometime reflecting upon the difference in the Harry Potter books and movies.

We are all so proud of Ruby!

At the start of the month Ruby donated her hair having never had it cut before to the princess trust.  Everyone’s so proud of Ruby, so far she has raised £908.46 + £156.25 Gift Aid!  Some  cash donations are still left to register too!

In addition to this, Ruby found out that she was in the top 15% for amount raised on the JustGiving page!  What a hero you are!

Community Crew – Stereotyping

We have been looking at stereotyping in Crew Overson for the past two weeks.  Today we looked at cultural stereotyping, what this means and looked at different scenarios.  We also played a game looking at our differences in Crew Overson, one of the challenges was to find someone with different coloured eyes and someone who had a different number of siblings to themselves.  It was interesting to debrief afterwards and make those connections and celebrate differences too.

Year 5/6 family learning

REMINDER

 

Dear parents/carers, 

 

On Tuesday 12th October 2021 we  will be inviting you to join our family learning celebration. Our current expedition is centred around the history of rail and we would like to  work closely with the local community by supporting Thorne Miniature Railway, who are currently fundraising to keep their service running. 

 

This will be taking place in Thorne Park where our children will be hosting stalls to raise funds in support of the miniature railway. 

 

On Friday 1st October we will be taking part in a non-uniform day. To come in non uniform we would appreciate a donation for the tombola that will be one of the stalls at our fundraiser. 

 

On family learning day we would like to invite you to join us at Thorne park and support your children. On 12/10/21, Year 5 and 6 will be running stalls and have the opportunity to have a ride on the miniature train and learn about how it works. 

 

To enable this to happen children will need to be collected from Green Top at 2:00pm and meet us in the park by 2:15. This will give you a chance to enjoy the event prior to the rest of school and the local public being invited to join us at 3:00pm. Unfortunately if you are unable to join us children will remain in school until 3pm where they can be collected as usual. 

 

Please email [email protected] to let us know your intentions. 

 

Thank you, Team 5/6. 

 

We are scientists!

We have enjoyed our science case study and finished off today looking at materials used on the railways and their properties!  This leads in nice to our History case study looking at the journey of change that trains have been on!
