A huge congratulations to the pupils this week for their hard work and dedication. Mrs Amos has been out of school on a 3 day training course this week (Wednesday to Friday) so this week's blog comes from Mr Fone's and a couple of children from Y5 Oak:
Special Mention: Maizie-Lou
Reader of the Week: Joe
Assistant writers for the blog this week: Maizie-Lou and Oscar
This week we have been practicing decimals in maths which the pupils have taken to with great success. Many of the students have been able to not only complete their work quickly and correctly but challenge themselves and other members of the class with increasingly complex equations. They are now firmly secure in their ability to add and subtract numbers with 2 or more decimal places.
We have continued with our class text Darwin's Dragons where pupils have been planning out a descriptive piece of writing in relation to the volcanic tunnels that our main character has entered. The pupils have excellently described the sinister and menacing atmosphere of the tunnels and brought a great deal of creative writing to this work.
Some children visited the Leeds book awards this week and greatly enjoyed their trip.
As well as this, pupils have taken part in a music session this week in which they learnt how to play the drums.
To round off the week pupils have been creating films for their computing work in which they have planned, designed and used green screen to produce short films. The enthusiasm that they have shown for this work has been fantastic.
Finally, this week we have been looking into precious objects or family heirlooms as part of our R.E work. As such if there are any items that pupils would be comfortable bringing into school or even taking photos of and bringing them in to show the class that would be brilliant.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Yours,
Mr Matthew Fones
