Friday 27th January 2023
Wishing you all another happy Friday. We have had a week of working hard, embedding the use of a range of techniques to include both character and setting descriptions. The children have been creating texts based on 'Street Child' by Berlie Doherty, a book that is set in Victorian Britain. The children have enjoyed exploring how the times were so different from the experiences that they are lucky enough to receive today - particularly how children went to workhouses and had to sleep in wooden boxes on the floor!
Throughout maths, Year 5 have explored timetables and recapped all areas in preparation for assessments next week. Year 6 have continued to explore shape further, with a particular focus on 3D shapes this week.
Dance Festival
This Wednesday, some of our Year 5/6 children participated in a Dance Festival at the Palace Theatre. The children thoroughly enjoyed taking part and the feedback from spectators highlighted how well the children did. Well done to all of the children that took part, we are very proud of how you represented our school and showed off your moves. Special thanks to Mr Harrington and Miss Coombes for organising and teaching the children the routine.
Homework
A notification is on Google Classroom for children, with a list of websites, to provide the children an opportunity to revise and practice areas of learning to prepare for next week. Spellingframe is also set for the children (logins and passwords have already been provided).
We hope that you have a lovely weekend,
Miss Sharman, Mrs Devlin, Mrs Witherall and Miss Parsons.
