Year 5 Week 8

Although it was a short week, it certainly didn’t feel like it.

The children seemed to have had an excellent break and were eager to tell me about all they had done.

 

Parents’ Consultation  Evening:

Thank you  to all of you for coming to the consultation evening: it was really useful and constructive being able to share ideas and insights.

 

All Saints’ day:

We had a great day on Wednesday- the church was full of all manner of saints as the pupils sported their various costumes. At the end of Mass, Year 5 were able to work with Year 1 by giving them a tour of the church and passing on their knowledge.

 

Science / English

We started looking at a new class book this week ( ‘ The Unforgotten Coat’ by Frank Cottrell Boyce ) .  In the story, the children conduct an experiment which we felt compelled to replicate using Alka Seltzer , blu-tac and some camera film canisters.

Wishing you all a great weekend,

Mr Creaton

Year 1 find out about the changing seasons

Over the last two weeks, the children have been exploring the school grounds, learning about the changes that have occurred as a result of autumn’s arrival.  We have talked about how the days are getting shorter, the weather is  cooler and leaves are falling off deciduous trees.  The children have enjoyed sweeping up the many leaves in the infant playground.

Over the holiday, please check that your child is able to independently put on their scarf, hat and gloves and that these are clearly named.  Your child will need these in school when the weather really starts to get cold!

I am looking forward to meeting with all parents during the consultations on the 1st and 2nd November.  Please ensure that you have booked your appointment online.

Have a wonderful holiday together.

Year 5 Week 6

As usual, we have been very busy here in Year 5 . Highlight of the week has to be the performance of ‘Potatoes’ at the Harvest assembly. Well done to everyone.

Also, I was very pleased with the sporting prowess with six of the boys in the class who received their first call up to the senior squad to play football  against Park Street; being edged to the spoils by a very strong Park Street team.  And then, later in the week, beating Windemere in another closely fought game. 

Have a great weekend,

Year 1 learning

In science, this week, the children explored different foods and found ways to sort them.  These included sorting them into foods that are good for you, or not so good for you, as well as sorting them into vegetables, fruit or meat.  Please talk about where food comes from at home, so that children can learn more about this.

In maths, the children have been finding ways to show 6, with the additional challenge of recording these using pictures, words and symbols.   The children explained their thinking to each other to show that they understood their calculations.

On Thursday, we will be celebrating harvest in school with an assembly that you are warmly invited to at 9am.   Please send in your donations for our local food project, Feed on Wednesday or Thursday.  Further details about this charity can be found at: https://www.thevineyardchurch.co.uk/feed
