Year 5 Summer week 9
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 Year 2
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.

Y6 Production
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!
Year 2 – Well done!
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 🙂
Y6
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!

Year One designers
This week, the children were challenged to create a new boot for Mr Magnolia, who appeared to have mislaid his other one. The children loved this activity and worked well in teams to brainstorm their ideas, research images on the internet, plan their designs and try out different drawing styles.
They are very proud of their final boots and their next task is to write an advert that will persuade Mr Magnolia to order a pair of their boots!
Year 5 summer week 3
Dear parents,
We have started a new topic in English which will focus on letter writing and diary writing. The context for this will be looking from the viewpoint of a World War 2 evacuee. We have used ‘The Lion and the Unicorn’ and ‘Carrie’s War’ as source material. This links in with their current history topic.
This week in science we have been looking at air resistance and , in particular, how it may affect falling parachutes.
Thank you to all the parents that attended the SPEC meeting. Here is the most recent version of the powerpoint.
Have a great Bank holiday,
Mr Creaton
