Year 5/6 Blog - Friday 3rd March 2023
We welcome another happy Friday here in Year 5/6 this week. The children have been very busy in English writing a review of the performance that they watched last Friday. When looking through their reviews, it is clear that they really enjoyed their afternoon. Throughout maths, Year 5 have been multiplying fractions and converting their answers into mixed numbers. Year 6 have been revising the four operations, using their lesson time to ensure that questions are clearly presented so that they can spot where they are making simple mistakes.
Homework.
All pages are on the children's Google classroom page and copies of the Arithmetic papers have been sent out with them today. The children also have spellings to practise on Spellingframe - passwords and logins have been given.
Musical Instrument Lessons
On Monday's assembly this week we were lucky to be joined by James Abel from Front Row Music. We are pleased to announce that Front Row Music will be offering guitar, keyboard and ukulele lessons at Down Hall Primary School!
All instruments are provided and lessons cost £7.00 and are 30 minutes long. The children learn together in small groups focusing on music that they will know and love. For more information and details on how to book lessons please follow the link below.
Times Tables Rock Stars Day
A reminder that next week, on Thursday 9th March, we would like all the children to take the opportunity to dress up as rock stars for the day. During this day, they will take part in a range of maths activities. Prizes for the best-dressed rock star will be handed out. You do not need to bring a donation on this day.

Yesterday we celebrated World Book Day at Down Hall! Our aim, as teachers, was to promote a love of reading and it was so lovely to see the children bring in their favourite books to share in class with each other. It was also fantastic to see children and staff dressing up. Some of the children enjoyed creating group stories that included a rather strange selection of details too!
