Category: Our Classes

Year 6 had a day full of excitement today as they learnt all about the Vikings. They built a Viking long ship replica, learnt how to weave and developed sewing skills whilst making a sail. They also had the opportunity to build shields and test their strength. A fantastic day had by all.

Dear Parents and Carers,

This week we have been busy trying to prepare for our assembly next Friday morning ( 24th November 2017). We hope that you will be able to come and join us.  As well as learning lines, we have had to refine our dance moves, learn songs and of course, make props.  The photos show us engaged in making  helmets and flowers .

 

I have added the latest version of the script in the home learning. It is mainly unaltered but where I have made changes, I have used a red font.

I had mentioned to the class that I was considering altering some of the prayers.  As it happens, all the prayers remain unaltered but  I have also added another prayer  – 59 A-  and have spoken with the person who will be reading it.

I have put a copy of the script on the home learning blog.

Also, I have added a powerpoint for the children to learn the songs for the Christmas Carol Concert .

Have a great weekend,

Mr Creaton

Year 2 were very generous with their donations today, thank you very much 🙂

Dear Parents and Carers,

Much has happened this week in Year 5 and I will endeavour to give you a flavour of it.

In English, we have been using  role play to make our written work on speech more realistic. Also, we have been wrapping our heads around how to explain just why  our alkaseltzer  rocket manages to leave the ground.

In computing, we have been using codes to send encrypted messages for each other to try and  decode.

In DT, we are looking at musical  instruments with the view to making our own versions.  Of course, we had to practise using the real things, just to immerse ourselves in the task.

Who would have thought that 30 children randomly playing assorted instruments at the same time could sound so melodic and easy on the ear?

 

Judaism Week:

We were fortunate to have a visit from Ruth, a member of the Jewish community, who worked with the children to give them a greater understanding of Judaism.  Year 5 learnt about Pesach and the significance of the meal at Passover.  It involved eating and drinking  some of the foods and looking at other Jewish artefacts.

 

Football

This week we played Colney Heath in a friendly football match. Although we didn’t quite manage to score as many goals as they did,  I was very proud of my team’s  positive spirit in the face of adversity.

 

Golden Mile

Has your child been asking to go to bed early lately?  Perhaps it’s because they have been worn out jogging the daily ‘Golden Mile’.

 

Have a great weekend,

Mr Creaton

 

This week we finished off our topic ‘What are we remembering on Remembrance Day?’ We had some fantastic posters from home and the children have really enjoyed learning about this topic and sharing their own stories and experiences. Today we leaned about the Jewish religion and had our own Judaism workshop where we found out about Shabbat celebrations and made our own Shabbat candles.  In maths we have been learning about multiplication through arrays and repeated addition while in English we continue to learn about writing instructions. We also had a slightly belated birthday!
