Hello,
Another very busy week in UKS2. Year 5 have spent lots of time rehearsing for next week's performances of Oliver! It sounds amazing and I can't wait to see it next week!
Alongside rehearsals it has also been assessment week so the whole class have worked really hard to show off everything they have learnt this year and how much progress they have made.
On Tuesday, we had a PSHE workshop delivered by SCARF (the scheme of work we use for teaching PSHE) all about the importance of decisions. The children contributed lots to the session and were very sensible when offering their views and thoughts.
Information for Y6 parents:
The government have published a document with information for parents about the upcoming SATs. If you would like to learn more about the tests please click here.
Have a great weekend!

Hello,
We really enjoyed celebrating World Book Day yesterday and had some exciting events happening across school. KS2 had a visit from award-winning author, Phil Earle, who delivered a really exciting assembly. He answered lots of questions and spent some time signing books too!
We also had lots of fun taking part in the KS2 Audible Story Swap where all children could choose to go to a classroom to listen to a different story chosen by each teacher on Audible.
In maths this week, Miss Bairstow's group have started to learn about percentages and Mrs Trotter's group have been learning about angles.
Have a great weekend.

Hello!
This week in English we have started to plan our newspaper reports about a yeti/bigfoot sighting here on the school site!
In maths, Mrs Trotter's group have been continuing their work on area and perimeter and my group have been looking at decimal place value and using this to order and compare decimals with up to three decimal places.
On Wednesday, we had a very exciting visit from James Ketchell, an adventurer and motivational speaker who spoke to all the children in school about the importance of resilience. UKS2 also had workshops with James in the afternoon where they were able to ask him more questions about his adventures, climbed in a tent and even tasted some powdered chocolate pudding food he takes with him on his expeditions!
Finally, on Friday we completed an investigation in science about thermal insulators and conductors. We were looking for the best thermal insulator to line a lunchbox. We measured this by covering ice cubes in various different materials (our independent variable) and took the temperature of the ice cubes at 5 minute intervals to work out which material was the best at keeping the ice cubes cool.
Have a great weekend!
