Hi,
This week in English we have been finishing setting descriptions of a Victorian street scene. The children have worked hard to improve this piece of writing and to make sure they chose a wide range of ambitious vocabulary.
In maths, Miss Bairstow's group have been learning about perimeter and Mrs Trotter's groups have been learning how to multiply fractions.
The highlight of our week was spending a morning with Mr Smith (who retired earlier this year!) as he came in to do an exciting science experiment with us. We learnt about friction as part of our work on forces and tested different surfaces to find out which created the most friction.
Remember the Rufford Park Christmas fayre is on Saturday from 12pm - 2pm. Thank you for all of your kind donations towards this event.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the fayre!

Hi,
This week in maths, my group have been learning how to multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1000. Mrs Trotter's groups have been adding and subtracting mixed numbers and improper fractions.
In English, we have been working on our descriptive writing skills and building up to writing a setting description of a Victorian street. We have focussed on choosing ambitious vocabulary and thought of a range of synonyms for boring adjectives and created a range of expanded noun phrases with prepositional phrases.
We ended our slightly shorter week in school with an exciting day for Children in Need. Thank you to everyone who came in non-uniform and donated £1 to help us cover Pudsey Bear and raise funds for a great cause.
Have a great long weekend!

Hi,
In English this week we have been working extremely hard to finish our reports on Victorian workhouses. We learnt lots and it linked in well to our guided reading text, Street Child.
In maths, Miss Bairstow's group have been learning about prime, square and cube numbers. Mrs Trotter's groups have continued their work on fractions with a focus on mixed numbers.
Cross country club is starting on Wednesday lunchtime so please make sure your child brings appropriate footwear to change into and comes to school in their P.E kit if they have returned a slip for this.
Have a good weekend.
