This week in the classroom

17th July

What a week we have had!

In English the children wrote their independent diary entries based on Holes. They had some brilliant ideas and worked so hard to show off their best writing. It’s lovely to see how far their writing has come this year and I enjoyed reading all their work.

In maths, we worked on factors and multiples. The children have worked really hard on their times tables facts on TTRockstars but do find it more difficult to apply this learning during lessons. This is something we will continue to work on with the Y5s next school year.

In geography, we looked at wood as a natural resource, discussing how it is used. We also learned about the boreal forests of Canada.

On Thursday, the children did their end of year performance with the Love Music Trust, showing off what they have learned on brass instruments and the glockenspiels. We were very impressed with how they played and we know that Year 3/4 enjoyed the performance!

Friday was the class’s last day with Mrs Gallagher and the Leavers’ Assembly. We followed this up with watching Holes and having a water fight. What a brilliant bunch of children our Y6s are. We are really going to miss them next year!

See you in September Year 5; have a brilliant summer.

Good luck at high school Year 6. The place won’t be the same without you!

11th July

What a week for Year 5/6! This week we have been busily preparing for our performance of Peter Pan. The children have been learning lines, learning actions, practising songs and preparing props. They did a full dress rehearsal on Friday morning to the whole school and everybody was so impressed by how brilliant they were. They then performed for the parents in the afternoon. It was absolutely sweltering in the hall but despite this, the children did an incredible job. They have worked so hard for this performance and lots of them had a considerable number of lines to learn. They really did us proud! Well done Year 5/6!
