Homework in 5/6 Friday 27th September

This week for homework in Years 5 and 6, we are trialing the children completing their homework on Google Classrooms. 

The children have used Google Classrooms this week in our Computing lessons and we thought it would be a great way to continue to use Google at home. 

When the children log in to their Google accounts, they will need to click on the 'Waffle/9 dots' and go to Google Classroom. When they enter their Classroom they will see the homework on a Google form ready to complete. 

Once the children have submitted their Maths Homework, the correct/incorrect answers will be displayed on the screen and results sent to their class teacher. 

We will be interested to hear not only your feedback on this style of homework but also the children's. 

Have a great weekend and we look forward to seeing the children attending the Parliament trip bright and early on Monday morning at 7.30am. Those not attending will arrive at normal school time. 

The 5/6 team.

WALK ONLINE ROADSHOW EVENT - YEAR 6 ONLY

Dear parents, 

Our Year 6 pupils have been kindly invited to attend a 'Walk Online Roadshow' being delivered on Tuesday 16th July at Fitzwimarc School.

Walk Online is a roadshow that has been developed by a company called EST E-Safety Training to raise awareness of young people about the potential dangers when using the internet.  The roadshow will highlight various issues, including how easily young people can be exploited through well-known online games and apps.  The content illustrates exactly how these sites are being used to identify young people for potential exploitation and critically how young people can be alert to these risks knowing how to identify and report them.  

Pupils will leave school soon after registration in the morning and walk to Fitzwimarc School for their 09:50 - 11:20 session.  They will walk back to school immediately after the event and arrive in plenty of time for lunch as normal.  Pupils are to wear their normal school uniform. 

Permission slips are not required for this trip as it is a local visit.

Please see me if you have any questions relating to this event.

Thank you,  

Mr Richards 

Magistrate in Court Session

Y5/6 Magistrate visit

On Thursday the 13th and Tuesday the 18th of June, Sue the Magistrate came to the school to speak to Topaz, Ruby and Sapphire about her role as a Magistrate in our community.

Then on Tuesday afternoon Sue returned to help us act out a scene from Magistrates Court. To help act out the scene,  three children from each of the year 5/6 classes were given roles in the scene; for instance one student was given the role of the usher and another was given the role of a police constable.

Sadly, we had planned to perform the scene outside but the heavy rain forced us into the blue room were the actors had to speak as loud as they could in order to be heard.

After the victim and the offender had both presented their evidence and the offender had been given a turn to speak about why they were innocent; the Magistrate actors left the room and the public committee had the chance to decide whether the offender was GUILTY or innocent.

At first it was a mixed share of hands but after a deep discussion most people thought they were GUILTY.When the Magistrate actors came back they agreed with the public decision and we then spoke about centonces.

Everyone can agree that the visit was really enjoyable and the scripts performed by the actors were read extremely well. We thank Sue for coming to our school to display what a Magistrate does.

Year 5/6 Homework

This week in Years 5 and 6 for homework, as it is Healthy eating week, we would like you to plan a menu. 

Not any menu.... but a Kosher* menu. 

Not only do we want you to plan the menu, but we would also like you to cost-up your ingredients so we know the total price of your meal. 

Why? - you ask?

Because, we may get you to cook the recipe for you and a group of friends!

Please submit your menu by Wednesday 19th June.

*You may need to research what food would be classed as Kosher before you start planning your menu

With most of Year 6 away on their residential trip to the Isle of Wight, our classroom make up has been a little different back in school.  However, pupils have responded positively and enjoyed the change. We hope our Year 6s have had a fabulous time and we wish them a safe journey home.         

Homework

Over half term, pupils are asked to gather as much information as they can about the first moon landing.  They will be provided with a piece of A3 paper to present their findings and are encouraged to use the following features:

Title, subheadings, paragraphs, pictures, captions and bullet points. This work will feed into our work when we return to school after the holidays.

Have you seen this man?

Year 5 and 6 witnessed a theft this morning, right outside their classrooms.

After witnessing the crime, children wrote notes in order to write a witness statement to assist the investigation.  We hope he is caught soon!
