Class 5 weekly update

Well done everyone on a great week! You worked so hard and produced such amazing work and this is all down to your focus and effort levels in class.

In English last week we were focusing on newspaper reports. We started the topic by recapping the features of a newspaper report and the children did really well to research, using first news, before identifying what they would need to include in their work later that week. They used peer and self-assessment to establish what they had done really well and what their next steps needed to be before putting that into practice during both the planning and writing phase of the week. Their finished work was informative, detailed, well planned and well presented.

In Maths we focused on factors before progressing onto common factors. The children showed really secure understanding of these topics using their prior knowledge to push themselves on later in the week as they progressed through the topics. They have shown tremendous amounts of resilience and mathematical thinking by extending their work to create their own problems for peers, by questioning concepts and ideas as well as thinking deeply and exploring different possibilities within problems. This has resulted in really high standards of work.

This week we are looking at non-chronological reports in English along with prime numbers and square numbers in Maths before breaking up on Friday ready for Christmas.

Choir visit to Age UK

Well done to the choir children who visited Age UK at Edgefield Green on Thursday morning. Their singing was absolutely beautiful and it was lovely to see them chatting to their audience before singing.  We are sure that this will be an annual event from now on!

Class 2 Weekly Update 07/12/18

What a pleasure it was taking Class 2 to see Mother Goose at Theatre Severn the other day. Not only did the children have a fabulous time, they once again demonstrated impeccable behaviour outside of school.
In our English lessons we have been revisiting phoneme sounds and have applied these when blending them into more unfamiliar words. In RWI we have enjoyed reading our new stories, drawing on their own experiences and talking about what they have just read. Some of the children are being encouraged to use a storyteller voice too. We have also done some detective work whilst spotting alternative graphemes for specific sounds in short comic strip passages. Some have also attempted the initial joining of specific graphemes in their handwriting sessions. Today we have all incorporated Fred talking into our everyday classroom life when asking for certain objects or things during routine. We have also learned how to add the suffix ‘ing’ to make a new words from a root word and then we added the word within our own sentence. We based our words and sentences on our experiences of what happened at the pantomime the day before.
In maths we have looked at the properties of both 2D and 3d shapes and how their shapes correspond to objects in the world around them. We have sorted them based on certain criteria during practical activities and have experimented with pattern linked to clues given on the shapes properties. We aim to link some of this maths work to a whole class piece of artwork next week for our classroom. We have also linked this to design and technology when discussing the shapes used for our Class 2 house model.
Our weekly spellings have gone out today to be tested next Friday. The children are reading to adults throughout the week and we have been so impressed with the enjoyment they are having reading to adults at home.
A big thank you to those who have helped their child learn their lines at home for our Christmas performance. They have remembered them really well when during our practises in Church. Please can we remind you that it would be ideal if your child could have their costumes in by Monday 10th December as stated in the letter which went home. On the letter it stated what your child is and what they would need to wear if they require a costume. Please do not hesitate to come and see me if you have any questions concerning this.
Have a lovely weekend together and I will see you all on Monday.

Class 5 weekly update

Well done class 5!

We have had a great week, the children have worked so hard and tried their best throughout assessment week and this is all down to their positive attitude towards their work.

In Maths we have moved on to our new unit of work which is multiplication and division. We have been looking at multiples and the children have excelled in this topic area, working with great confidence and accuracy whilst showing resilience as they tried and tested different methods. They have displayed their table knowledge and this has helped them to succeed and show a good level of understanding.

In English we have continued to read Journey to the River Sea which the children are all completely enthused with as we near the end of the book, making some very sophisticated predictions about what may happen to conclude the story. We worked on wanted posters for one of the characters this week with the children producing some accurate and arty designs. The level of conversation and understanding in class while exploring new words has been really high with the children showing maturity and greater levels of independence driving their own learning by utilising the resources in the classroom.

Well done to everyone for Thursday’s theatre trip. You were a credit to our school, you set a good example for the younger classes and I’m glad you all enjoyed yourselves. A big well done to Martin as well for his air guitar performance onstage!

Have a great weekend everyone and I’ll see you Monday.

Mr Sudlow.
