Category: Our Classes

The children have been very busy this week, working in groups to build their own islands.  Thank you very much for their wonderful Islands home learning, which the children have used to help them in their creations.

The children performed brilliantly in their class assembly last week and you must be very proud of them all.  How blessed I am to be able to teach these children for another year!

Many apologies, but I have mislaid the cables for my camera, so there are no photos to post at present.  I look forward to being able to share photos with you again as I know that you all enjoy seeing them.

ENJOY THE SUMMER FAIR!

 

Year 5 Summer Week 10

 

We had a go out finding our way around the school using a map for our orienteering course. To make mattes a bit more challenging, I put in quite a few dummy markers. Here’s how they got on:

At the moment we are all beavering away processing the World Cup score sheets for the entire school- a surprisingly convoluted process.  I think it has been an eye-opener for the children as an introduction to office work.

For those of you who were not here on Friday, here is the latest score sheets (to be handed back on Monday):

World cup sheet 4

 

Finally, a reminder that on Monday, the children will be going to Nicholas Breakspear. They will be taken from, and dropped back to St Adrian’s by 3:15 pm .

Children should wear trainers instead of shoes but the rest of their attire should be the normal school uniform.  They will also need a pencil case and packed lunch.

Have a great weekend,

Mr Creaton

 

Year 5 Summer Week 9

Over the last two weeks, things have been pretty exciting in Year 5.

The children have finally finished their purses as part of their art project. No two purses were alike. Here are some photos (and some photo bombing!)

 

Pirates

Our current topic of Treasure Island has got the children so excited that they have to re-enact it. How did Pugh become ‘Blind Pugh?’

 

In Science we have been trying to answer this question – ‘Will a ball dropped  from twice the height always bounce twice as high?’

Taking advantage of our new sports facilities…..

 

Kwik Cricket

Some of the girls in my class were representing the school at Kwik Cricket and only lost to much bigger schools. Well done!

The Blitz

My Dad was in school this week and was able to tell the children about growing up, being evacuated and bombed in London as a young child. I think the class got a lot from it.

Afterwards,  he complimented me on the  many intelligent questions and  impeccable behaviour from the class.

 

Mrs Binks

It is with sadness that we had to say goodbye to Mrs Binks this week – she has decided that now was a good time to spend more time pursuing her other interests.  We wish her all the best.

 

The World Cup.

There has been frenzied activity in the class as Year 5 have the job of administering and running the World Cup Bonanza competition at school. I would not be able to do it without them.

 

On a side note. Each class has been given in a country in the sweep-stake (ice-lollies for the class with the highest achieving team).

I never thought I would say this in a World Cup –

‘Come on Germany!’

Have a great week,

 

Mr Creaton

Well done to Year 2 for a great assembly. The children worked very hard in preparation and weren’t phased by having to split the rehearsals over 2 weeks. I was extremely proud of them and we hope all the parents, grandparents and carers who were able to come enjoyed it.

See below the vocal tracks for Pirates of the Curry Bean. You should be listening to them regularly so that you can learn the words, tune and rhythm of the songs.

You have now been given your parts for the production. Please start learning your words now. We are going to be doing our first rehearsal on Monday 18th June and I would like all song lyrics and most speaking parts to be learnt off by heart.

 

Happy practising!

Well done to Year 2 for completing their SATs with a minimum of fuss and, dare we say, enthusiasm!  All the children have worked very hard and deserve their break. With this in mind we have not set any homework for the holidays but would still encourage the children to keep reading and if you want to practise maths then use the Sumdog website.

We would also like to say thank you to the PTA for delivering us ice lollies today 🙂

It hasn’t all been tests however, as this photo gallery demonstrates!

Have a great half-term 🙂

We are not officially setting any homework this week.

If you cannot resist, you have your CGP 10-minute test books  and there are still maths activities for you to complete on MyMaths. However, under no circumstances are you to complete any homework or revision on Sunday afternoon. Use this time to play, kick a ball, go outside, spend time with your family, ride your bike and do what children do. Early to bed Sunday 🙂

Relax and enjoy your weekend – you’ll all be brilliant next week!
