5/6 S Certificate Celebration
Year 5/6 S have had another fabulous week. We have been completing our cereal boxes, sorting and classifying sweets and even doing PE in the pouring rain!

Homework: make your own cereal
The Year 5/6 staff are entirely impressed with the creative homework attempts this week. Kellogg’s and Nestle will be on the phone shortly.
Sweet Science!
Year 5/6 have been creating their own classification keys this week about sweets. They generated questions based on the similarities and differences between the different types of sweets. The concept of a classification key came from Carl Linnaeus, who created a system of classifying plants and animals, called Systema Naturae. He put them into the groups that are still used today. He classified things according to their similarities and differences.

Year 5 Reading
The reading Year 5 have been doing this week is linked to our Science learning about materials. We have been looking at a report about how plastic is harming our oceans and other environments. The children were working on their retrieval skills to answer questions. This involves the children skimming and scanning the text to find the answers to questions. They look for key words, phrases and sub-headings to help them.
Living and Learning
In Year 5 and 6 we have been discussing how we use the 8 Rs to help us learn. We talked about the strategies that we use the most. The children identified that a lot of them feel they show resilience in their learning and that they are always ready to learn. We then discussed which of the 8 Rs they need to use more. Some children explained that they needed to take more safe risks in school by putting their hand up more in class. Well done to those children who used personal experiences to talk about the 8 Rs.
Steph’s Packed Lunch
What a fantastic day! Today, some children from 5/6M had the opportunity to appear on live TV. They used the picture book, After The Fall, as inspiration for designing a set of flower planters.
Leeds Needs Trees
Leeds City Council have launched a scheme to increase the number of trees around the city. Collect tree seeds (conkers, acorns, beech nuts and sweet chestnuts) and take them to a collection point around the city. The Arium is the closest one to school and you will be helping create new habitats for birds and animals.
