Hi everyone,
Lots going on in school this week. World Book Day was a great success. The children showed great creativity when dressing up as book characters and enjoyed the opportunity to take a book home as part of the book swap. Maple Tree Class enjoyed designing their own book cover and solving a maths problem linked to World Book Day.
In English this week, the children began to plan their newspaper report about a mysterious creature that was spotted by CCTV on the school premises. I have asked them to think about a great headline for their report over the weekend. My maths group has also been learning about area and perimeter. Although the children found aspects of the work quite tricky at the start of the week they made great progress and showed a great level of understanding by the Friday. We will be calculating the area of triangles and finding out about volume next week.
Enjoy the weekend!

Hi,
An end to a busy half-term and week!
Year 6 have been completing a range of assessments and have shown great focus and resilience in their approach. It has been lovely to see the children's faces when they realise the progress they have made so far this year.
The week has been completed by a film afternoon and the children are looking forward to visiting the cake sale on their way home.
Enjoy the half-term break

Hi everyone,
We have been thinking a lot about internet safety this week as part of Safer Internet Day on Tuesday. The children discussed what personal information is not appropriate to share online and how to stay safe if playing games online. The children designed mascots that would remind those playing games how to be safe.
In English, the children have learned about the features found in newspaper reports in preparation for writing their own exciting report about an event in school.
Maths has involved converting metric measurements and in Miss Bairstow's group everyone has been busy adding and subtracting mixed numbers in fractions. Mrs Senior's group did a fantastic practical lesson involving measuring objects in school and then converting those to the most appropriate unit of measurement.
It was lovely to see so many parents and share what great work the children have been doing this week at our first face to face parents' evening in two years!
After a busy week we are ready for a restful weekend ahead of the final week before the half term holidays.
