Happy Friday everyone!

We hope that you are enjoying your long weekend.

This week, children in Topaz Class braved the rainy weather and took part in their Bikeability course.

Next week, it will be the turn of Sapphire Class.

Miss Sharman has managed to book Ruby Class in for the week beginning 27th November and will send letters to those of you who have booked a space on Monday.

Don't forget that it is flu imunisation day on Tuesday and individual and sibling photographs on Thursday.

Homework has been uploaded to Google Classroom.  The pages can be found here.

Spellings have been set on Spellingframe.

Have a lovely weekend.

Happy Friday everyone!

This week in Year 5 and 6 we have been writing recounts from the point of view of the crew of Ernest Shackleton's ship.  The children have enjoyed getting into character and imagining what life would have been like in Antarctica.

We didn't get to make our periscopes in science, but are hoping to do so next week.  If you still have some cereal boxes at home, please could you send them in with your child on Monday.

Today, we held a Remembrance Assembly, where Mrs Morgan played The Last Post and Mr Jude explained the importance of Armistice Day.  The children were very respectful during the minute of silence we held.  We would like to thank Mr Jude and Mrs Morgan for delivering such a lovely assembly.

NEXT WEEK - BIKEABILITY for Topaz Class

Year 6 children in Topaz Class will be taking part in their Bikeability sessions.  Their bikes must be in good working order.  Please check brakes, tyres and seat height this weekend.  Children need to walk their bikes into school on Monday and leave them outside the Year 5/6 classrooms.  If they do not wish to take them home at the end of each day, Miss Sharman will lock them away, safely, overnight.

Girls may bring a pair of leggings and trainers to change into if they wish.

If the instructors do not feel that the children are competent enough at riding inside the school grounds, they will not allow them to continue the course as this takes place out on the local roads.

INSET DAY

Don't forget that there is an INSET day on Friday 17th November.  

Homework pages for this week can be found here

Have a lovely weekend.

Happy Friday!

It has been lovely to welcome the children back for the second half of the Autumn term.  

This week we have been completing our Believe and Achieve writing.  The children have planned and written stories about a magic escalator.  They have produced some lovely, imaginitive work and demonstrated their understanding of structuring and punctuating stories.

This afternoon we made poppy wreaths in preparation for Remembrance Day, next week.

Homework

We like to encourage the children in Year 5 and 6 to access their homework independently via Google Classroom.  We understand that this can sometimes be challenging for children who lack confidence in using technology. 

Therefore, we have decided to add a link to the homework pages for parents.  You can find this week's homework pages here.

Periscope Making

Next week, we will be making periscopes in Science.  For this, we need as many cereal boxes as possible.  If you have any at home that you could donate, please send them in with your child on Monday.

Have a lovely weekend.  Enjoy the fireworks!
