Another lovely week has gone by at St Adrian’s topped by the Mercy Mass and a picnic in the gorgeous sunshine.

Earlier this week, in English,  we have been thinking about how King Arthur felt when he first met the loathly lady.  The children did a freeze-frame in order to really empathise with the characters.

      

 

We have also been looking at Roman numerals in maths.  We all enjoyed a bit of Roman Numeral Bingo although catch phrases such as ‘sweet XVI’  and           ‘ Key of the door – XXI’   probably won’t catch on as well as their Arabic numeral counterparts.

 

Hope you all have an enjoyable weekend,

Mr Creaton

It was lovely to see so many of you at the Y6 parent meeting. Please see attached the information shared.

Parents information meeting

This week, the children have been exploring their hair colour and sorting themselves into groups.  This can be quite tricky when you can’t see your hair unless you are looking in a mirror!

We look forward to seeing you at tomorrow’s Mercy Mass (11am) which will be followed by a picnic.

Next Friday 29th September is Fitness Day at St. Adrian’s.  The children will bring home their PE clothes on Monday, so that they can come into school wearing them on the Friday for all the fitness focussed learning.  It would be great if you could ensure that these PE clothes are returned on the following Monday (2nd October) ready for your child’s PE lesson.

It has been a very busy  week in Year 5 and the holidays are now but a distant memory. But we have enjoyed ourselves.

In PE, we  have started learning tennis and already I can see  signs of the next Venus Williams and Andy Murray.

In Science, we have been learning about the Solar System. We then made our own scale models of the planets to show how their sizes vary as do their distances from the Sun.

 

 

 

On a separate note, the homework now needs the use of a password in order to access it.  The children have been told the password and have written it in their homework books.

 

Wishing you all an enjoyable weekend,

 

Mr Creaton

A reminder that the year 6 parent information meeting will be on Tuesday 19th September at 9am.

I look forward to seeing you then.

Now that autumn is here, this week we started our year long science topic all about Plants and Seasons.  The children were all given a tulip bulb and described it carefully, coming up with some wonderful observations.  In between the rain showers, we planted the bulbs and then imagined what the flowers would look like in spring once the bulb has grown.  We will look for shoots as the bulb grows over the winter, into spring.

Thank you very much for coming to the welcome meeting on Monday.  You will find notes from the meeting here: Information for parents
