Class 5 are all mathed out today. Not only do we all look totally awesome in our mathematical themed outfits, but we have worked so hard in our maths lesson too. We looked at place value and representing numbers with tens and ones. We worked with different equipment then practised doing it ourselves, drawing the tens and ones! Well done to everyone for your super efforts!

Becoming Geographers!
Today we started looking at Geography and what it is that we might be looking at in our new case study…
After working hard to complete the jigsaw, class 5 realised they were looking at a map of the world!
We found the UK and lots of other awesome countries. Then we thought about what we already know and what we might want to learn too! We can’t wait to find out more about the world and how people are affecting it…
Learning legends
Big shout out to our learning legends today. Nathaniel won for being a kind and helpful crew member and Ellis for the awesome effort he is putting into his work.
Well done boys x

Nathaniel was our reading champion and Deacon, Junior and Tyler gained their Bronze reading certificates.
A huge shout out to Imogen also who proudly showed off her Irish Dancing medals from a comp she entered last weekend.

Class 5 champions!
WOW to some awesome children in class 5 today!
Macky has been racking up those HOWL points over the past week and has ended up with the most! He’s definitely displayed all of our HOWLs and has been taking beautiful pride in all of his learning.
Hunter and Aurora have been chosen as Crew O’Neill and Crew Good’s BE KIND champion this week. These two always keep our classroom tidy and are super kind crew members to each other. Always using their manners, being respectful too!
Elizabeth is our WORK HARD champion this week. Her attitude to learning has been excellent, she’s really making some great choices and producing some amazing writing. She is responding so well to critique and feedback and really starting to engage in her learning.
Maya has been chosen as our GET SMART champion this week as she has been on fire!!! She’s been so active every day and working hard to take pride in her work.
Keep up the hard work class 5, you’re all superstars!!!!
Legends!
It was a pleasure to give these postcards today to 2 of our children who have showed how following our HoWLs brings success. Radu scored 10 out of 10 in our monthly spelling check, and Florence has worked so hard in her measuring maths lesson.
I am so proud of you guys.
Lovely story to end the day
A huge thank you to Freya from our Learning Council for coming into class 6 this afternoon to read the children a story before they went home. Your reading was wonderful Freya and the children enjoyed it very much.
Thank you!
My little scientist
Look at the proud face on Thea as she won our learning legend postcard today for demonstrating just how much she has learned about animal groups, food chains and habitats. She was able to share her new-found knowledge with our crew and spoke knowledgeably about the effect humans have on the environment and how this impacts on the lives of the animals she has studied. So proud of you angel! X
Phonics sounds and spellings WB. 31.1.22
This weeks phonics focus sounds will be…
Au as in haunt, a-e as in cake, e-e as in eve, i-e as in like
Our weekly spellings are…
Your, today, jaunt, haul, mate, late, even, these, line, file.
Any help you could give your child with recognising the sounds and practising the spellings would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks for your continued support and to all those who practised last week’s spellings. It really does make a massive difference for the children to see that the work they do in school is considered just as important at home.

Postcard winners
A huge well done to our postcard winners this week – Eva, Ellis, Thea, Kalab and Haran. We have been investigating measuring length and height in maths, continuing our habitat and food chain studies in science and editing and re-drafting a non-chronological report on polar bears in English. I have been very impressed by the children’s spelling and phonics scores also this week. Many thanks to all those who practised with the children.
Enjoy your long weekend everyone x
