    Dear parents and carers,

    The clay work looks better than the uploaded picture! The children did this in response to the stimulus of a Grimm Fairytale. 

    In computing the children were creating a Splat game using Scratch. We have some real experts in the class who were able to develop the programme further. 

    In geography we had our second lesson focusing on locating the higher regions of the UK. The children are confident experts at labelling their maps and locating different regions accurately. Well done Year 5.

    In reading we have enjoyed hearing two survival stories and retrieving and recording information for the texts.

    In PE the children have, almost, perfected their dances for the Danceoff next Thursday.

    Have a great weekend.

    Dear parents and carers,

    Kind request: if your child is unable to take part in PE due to an injury or illness, please can you email the school to let us know. Thank you.

    This week we completed the first part of our RE unit, 'What does it mean to be a Muslim today?' We focussed on the key concept of 'Belonging'. The children have evaluated the first two Pillars of Islam  - The Shahada and The Salat, and thought about the importance of belonging in their own lives.

    In maths we have continued to work on fractions. This week we were converting and comparing fractions with the same and different numerators and denominators. Just a reminder: the homework that is set each week on Maths Shed (accessed through Ed Shed - assignments) is based around the learning that happened in class in the week. It can really help to embed learning for the children.

    In reading we started our new unit - Survivors - it is a non-fiction book about courageous survivors who have an incredible ability to draw on all their strength, bravery and self-belief in order to beat the odds, and live to tell their tales.

    In writing we have been doing more analysis work around the survival story of Shackleton and looking closely at text structure and language features in preparation for writing our own survival narrative.

    On Thursday we had a fantastic trip to watch the Brockenhurst Pantomime, Cinderella...oh no we didn't, oh yes we did... What a brilliant performance and a great laugh was had by all! 

    Best wishes.

    Dear parents and carers,

    This week in writing, the children have been continuing their work on Shackleton's Journey. We have now read the whole book and have started to think about the outcome of an endurance narrative based around Shackleton's epic expedition. 

    In maths we have been working on fractions this week. The children are realising how important it is to know the related division facts to their multiplication tables. Being fluent in this, really makes fraction work much easier.

    In geography we have started our mountain unit. We looked at similarities and differences between Mount Everest, Mauna Kea and Mount Olympus (on Mars!). 

    In PE the children have been learning and practising a dance in preparation for the Great Brock Dance Off! 

    Have a great weekend.
