I just wanted to say congratulations to the Y6 children on their outstanding performance last night. I thought they did themselves and the school proud. Thank you for working so hard to make the production such a succes s.

Mr Bedford and I would like to extend a huge WELL DONE to the year 6 children on their SATs results. They worked extremely hard and this effort paid off. They should be very proud of themselves, as we are.

 

Year 5 summer week 14

Dear Parents,

Your child was given their school report today and I hope you find it informative.  For my part, although reports are never easy to write, my task was made considerably  easier because there were so many positive things to say about this class.

Mr Bedford, Mrs Butterworth and I would like to congratulate the children on all their hard work and progress. We are very proud of them.

At this time of year, we feel that the homework should be looking towards year 6.  So we are not setting a formal homework but, instead,  want the children to read through their reports carefully and identify what areas they need to focus on. They should then develop their own ‘action plan’ to prepare them for life in Year 6.

Have a great weekend,

Mr Creaton

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Year 5 summer week 12

Dear Parents,

Here is a few things we have been up to over the last couple of weeks.

Visit to Nicholas Breakspear:

We had a great time at Nicholas Breakspear and got a real taste of life at secondary school experiencing lessons in English, Science, Maths and RE and History.

Science – Environments:

We were able to enjoy the sunshine and make the most of investigating various habitats around the school.

 

St Michael’s:

Another visit; another excellent school.  We had a science day at St Michael’s and enjoyed making rockets, using Bunsen burners and experimenting with acids and alkalis.

 

Back at St Adrian’s, we continued our habitats and life-cycles work by dissecting and identifying parts of a flower and the fruits they produce.

 

Note to parents – I am sure that you are aware that in a few months you will be visiting secondary schools with a view to securing a place for your child in year 7.  Where you choose will be a complex and personal decision based on what you feel will be best for your child. For what it’s worth, I was very  impressed by St Michael’s and many of you will be familiar with it.  Perhaps off the radar for some of you is Nicholas Breakspear. I thought it had a lovely, calm atmosphere.  If you had not considered either of these Catholic schools, I urge you to pay them a visit as well any other school on your list.

 

Have a great weekend,

 

Mr Creaton

 

We had fun on Wednesday making a shape for our tropical fruit as part of our St Lucia topic in geography. It involved getting very messy as we designed a papier mache shape of our fruit. We followed that on Thursday with a science experiment where we are testing the conditions needed for a seed to germinate. Good luck to everyone at Sports Day on Monday, don’t forget to come in your PE kit.

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
