Dear Parents/Carers
This week, in Year 5 and 6, the children have been taking cuttings of geraniums in their science lessons. They have been learning about asexual reproduction in plants and are attempting to grow their own from the samples they have taken.
Fingers crossed, we should get some roots appearing in a few weeks. Watch this space for updates.
Thank you to the Year 5 parents who have completed the Children's University survey which was posted on the blog this week. If you are yet to complete it, please find details on the previous post.
This afternoon, your children will have brought home a copy of The Essential Guide To Schools. Along with open day dates for local schools, there are some interesting articles on the importance of sleep for children, keeping children safe on TikTok and information on applying to grammar school. Well worth a read!
On Monday, your child will be brining home a reading book and their reading diary (which contains Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 spelling lists), their log in details for Google, MyOn, Times Tables Rockstars and Sum Dog.
Homework books will follow shortly.
This week's homework is:
In preparation for our art and design technology work, linked to our Mayan Project, we would like the children to research Mayan Masks. They need to find out why they were used and begin to consider their own design. This should be submitted by Wednesday 22nd September.
Have a lovely weekend
Miss Sharman, Mrs Devlin and Mrs Witherall
