Year 5/6 have loved being back! They have all been working extremely hard. Miss McMahon, Mrs Carroll and Mrs Cafferkey have all been very impressed.
Our Maths topic this week was subtraction. We have been looking at complex problems where we had to ‘regroup’ and ‘exchange’ multiple times.
Our task this week In English was to finish our ‘Positive Poems’ about COVID and ‘The Year 2020 – The Best Year Yet’. Some of our favorite lines from our class poem were ‘ The trees were alive again, reviving the earth’ – Jake and ‘The pages rustled as I was exercising my mind again’ – Elise
In PE we have been refining our running techniques. Endurance was a skill that we needed when running for 5 minutes straight.

Brilliant writing in English as we have nearly finished our character descriptions of Charlie, although we are still finding it hard to believe that he only gets one chocolate bar a year!
RE saw the end of our topic on Jesus’ family tree, and we have enjoyed talking about our own family trees – thinking more about where we have come from.
Mrs Gregory began Apple Friends in class this week as we begin to explore how to work together, share ideas and help each other.
In English, we have been reading the Grimm’s Tales version of Snow White. We split the class into two halves and argued cases for both ‘for’ and ‘against’ whether the Huntsman should kill Snow White. This helped us to write a balanced argument including key features.
In science, we have started to look at the life cycle of a plant. We dissected real flowers and labelled the parts as well as explaining their functions.
This week in Art, we have been exploring different shading techniques to prepare for our still life pictures.

In PE, we ended our unit of ‘Games’ by putting our skills into action. Our passing and throwing skills were impressive. As well as our ability to work as a team.
In music, along with practicing our song ‘The fresh prince of Belair’, we have been using our bodies to find the beat. Some of our dance moves were extremely enthusiastic.
Another fun week in Year 4/5.
In English, we have been writing our first drafts of a letter. We have taken on the role of a Medic in the war, using our short film ‘The Pianist’. Miss McMahon has been very impressed with the creative writing and the use of emotions.
In maths, we have been recapping properties of shapes and looking at calculating angles within.
We have continued to practice our performance of ‘The Fresh Prince Of Bell Air’ with the added extra of recorders alongside the glockenspiels.
What a busy week in Year 4/5!
In English, we have been looking at flashbacks using our new short film ‘The Piano’. As the film has no dialogue, we have had to use our inference skills to make predictions and assumptions.
When looking at our basics math skills we decided that we needed more practice when multiplying and dividing both decimals and whole numbers by 10, 100, 1000. We excelled ourselves today and Miss McMahon was very impressed. We put our skills into action by playing a game of ‘Who wants to be a millionaire’. Our hearts were racing with the atmosphere!
In RE we have been continuing to look at the ‘Mission of The Church’. We looked into the role of the Bishop and were able to write in role as him to explain his mission.
In PE we have been testing our fitness and improving our football skills. In groups, we followed an area plan to form our own relay races.
