Year 5 Week 9

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

Y2 this week

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!

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.
