5/6 Certificate Celebration

It’s been another great week in 5/6 S. Thank you to all the children for working hard.

This weeks certificate winners from 5/6S are…

For great learning…

Jude- you have a brilliant attitude to your learning and you’ve made a great start to the year. You participate so well in lessons – well done!

For sport and physical activity…

James – for having a mature attitude during PE this week. You took on responsibilities to help me and you worked well within a team – super!

For living and learning…

Ellie- you contributed so well during the lessons this week. You were able to give good examples of when you had used the 8 R’s recently.

 

Well done everyone!

This week, our homework is Practice Makes Perfect. This is linked to the Maths learning on rounding that the children have completed this week. There are also some spellings to learn and a times table review.

Children should be prepared to discuss what they’ve completed at home during our homework review next week. This homework should be completed by Friday 25th  September.

As the homework books are still not allowed to return to school, please feel free to email any photos of homework to your class teacher.

Science ‘Eggs’periment

Year 5 and 6 have been putting their Science skills to the test this week. They were given the task of becoming the protector of Humpty Dumpty – our Science learning is linked to our class text ‘After the fall’. They had to work out and test which materials would protect Humpty the best, if he had a fall again. They had great fun testing this out, with the most successful materials being bubble wrap and cardboard. Unfortunately not all the eggs survived- they came to a very messy end!

 

5/6 S Certificate Celebration

It has been brilliant to have all the children back in school this week and it’s been lovely to finally meet the new members of my class. It’s also been great to see the familiar faces of the children I taught last year. Everyone has come into school with an amazing attitude to their learning and they’ve settled in so well – I’m so proud of them.

As we can’t have the celebration assembly on a Friday at the moment, we will be posting the certificate winners on here each week for each class.

For great learning…

Jenson- you have come back to school with a mature attitude to your learning. You’ve participated in all lessons and tried so hard with your work. Well done – keep it up!

For sport and physical activity…

Gaia- you joined in the PE lesson this week so well. You worked well in your team and also looked like you were having lots of fun! Well done.

For living and learning…

Imogen- you are a very polite and well-mannered member of my class. I have watched this week as you’ve helped and supported the new members of our class – thank you and well done.

Good morning.

We hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend and that you got up to some nice things. Maybe send your class teacher an email this week before the summer holiday starts – tell us what you’ve been up to.

Here is your learning for today…

Year 5 Maths

Starter

Click on the link above for today’s starter. This game allows you to practice your rounding skills. Select the option that you feel confident with. If you would like a challenge – try out the decimal numbers.

Your learning for today is about translation. This first lesson goes over the learning you will have done in year 4.

Year 6 Maths

Before starting your main lesson, take 15 minutes to sharpen your times tables skills on Times Tables Rockstars.

This next lesson will teach you have to calculate and represent ratio.

Year 5/6 Reading

Today is our read for pleasure lesson. Choose a book, magazine, newspaper or perhaps an online article to read for your own pleasure. If you have recently read something that you have particularly enjoyed, you could write a book review to recommend it to others. Think about what information is useful to the reader in a review.

Year 5/6 Art

Your learning today is all about art. Graffiti is one of my favourite styles of art. It is controversial and, in some cases, illegal but I love the style of it. I also love how it often tackles issues in society. One famous graffiti artist is Banksy.

Today, I’d like you to read this information about Banksy and then have a go at creating your own piece of art – remember to link it to an issue in society.

Send your class teacher your finished masterpieces.
