In Year 5 this week, we have been writing chronological reports on the life cycles of a frog and a butterfly. We started the week by researching and making notes on information about frog and butterfly lifecycles. We then drafted and edited our reports.
For our final Big Writes we created our own information pages which included all the features of a chronological report. They look fantastic! Well done Year 5.

This half term Year 6 have been learning all about refugees; we researched what a refugee is, how someone becomes one and how we can help them. The children showed great interest in this and produced a fantastic piece of writing to go alongside this. The children had written a persuasive piece of writing where they were trying to convince their audience to allow refugees to cross certain borders for their safety, health and well-being. it was great to see such fantastic ideas and sheer empathy towards those who are struggling - Well done Year 6!
We are hoping to carry out a fundraiser to support a local refugee charity known as Unity, who work alongside the Red Cross. Watch this space and we look forward to your continued support with such a worthy cause.
For Maths we worked collaboratively and used a range of co-operative learning techniques to solve questions relating to negative numbers.
In our science topic we are exoploring fossils, try to visit a library or museum to learn some more interesting facts.
Have a safe and great weekend,

This week in science the children have been investigating different types of rocks. They wanted to see which rocks would be best to build a house. They had to find out if the rock was permeable, could float and see if it would wear well in all weathers. They had so much fun working as a team to investigate!

In Y5, we have started our geography topic on ‘France’. For our Stunning Start, we spent the afternoon experiencing the taste of some aspects of French life.
We discussed the types of foods that French people like to eat and tasted a few. We also had a go at making some crepes with different fillings.
We have been reading the story ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ and discussed the beautiful stain glass windows of the Notre Dame Cathedral. We created our own stain glass windows designs which were inspired by the cathedral windows.
We then finished off the afternoon by learning a French song with Mr Lee. We had a great afternoon.

Over the last few music sessions, the children studied a famous figure – Joseph Bologne. This raised awareness around the trouble black people faced as Musicians. The children carried out research to identify his challenges and the important aspects of his life, which have shaped society today. The children worked in groups to plan lyrics and create music using various instruments to reflect Joseph’s life.

Today Class 8 were real scientists. They carried out an investigation to find out which rock would be the best to build a house. The children made a prediction, gathered equipment and ensured all tests were fair. They tested which rocks were waterproof and which were the hardest wearing. The results showed slate and granite were the best rocks to build with. Great investigating Class 8!

This week Reception enjoyed sharing with each other all the exciting things they had done over the holidays - they seem to have had a fantastic time!
In English we met Percy the Park Keeper and listened to what happened to him in One Snowy Night. We all thought that Percy was very kind to let all the animals come and sleep in his little hut! We wrote lots of fantastic sentences to describe his personality.
In Maths we have been doing lots of great learning about set of up to 5 - even sets of zero- what they look like, which ones are bigger and which ones are equal.
Our topic learning was all about Winter, so we were delighted when it snowed on Friday. We have made collaged snowflakes and snowmen and talked about what it is like in Winter.

This week we have started our topic on Ancient Egypt. We have learnt where in the world Egypt is and drawn the River Nile and major cities onto a map. Our second lesson was super exciting! We were archaeologists! We searched the sand for hidden Egyptian treasures being very careful not to damage them - just like real a archaeologist. We then hypothesised about why the artefact was a treasure before finding out facts about them. We are all so excited for a term of learning about Ancient Egypt.

In Year 5 this week, we have started our science topic ‘States of Matter’ which builds on the learning the children did in Year 4. It was great to see how much the children had remembered about solids, liquids and gases.
We carried out an experiment to test whether or not different substances were soluble or insoluble. Many of the children were surprised that some of the predictions they made were actually wrong.
We also explored a range of new vocabulary which we will be using throughout the term.
Learning about the world we live in

This week they have looked at 'the map pobble picture' which is a map version of our globe.
They have looked at what the planet earth looks like from space.
They have watched videos of the satelite space station which orbits our planet and have talked about what 'the astronauts' can see from space.
They have also listened to a story told by an astronaut. It was read from the international space station.
