Class 6 update

English

This week the children have been writing diary entries as a character from our novel study.  They have had to focus on showing the feelings and emotions of the character in their writing.

Maths

We have begun work on fractions this week.  We have started by looking at how to simplify fractions using the highest common factors.

Geography

We have begun work on the next part of our topic on mountains today.  We explored what the children know about mountains already.  The children then researched the 5 different types of mountain and how they are formed.

Science

This week the children have been given a challenge to choose a scientist they feel deserves to go on the new £50 note.  The person they choose has to have contributed to the field of science, no longer be alive and have shaped the way we live in the UK.

Class 3 weekly update

In English this week the children have been linking their writing to their geography topic.  They discussed and identified the human and physical features of Northern Ireland and used the information they collected to write a postcard about what they learnt.  They also looked at using conjunctions to extend their ideas and sentences.  Alongside their weekly Read, Write, Inc work the children have also been looking at past and present tenses, identifying sentences and writing a creative piece of writing ensuring they used the same tense throughout and adding lots of interesting detail to their work.

In maths we have been finding 10 more and 10 less using numbers apart from multiples of 10 (e.g. 23, 35).  They have also been adding 2-digit numbers to 1-digit numbers, crossing the tens.  They used equipment including base 10 and the number line to support their working out.

Spellings – To be tested on Friday 16th November.

Shape and pattern

This week we have continued to look at 2 d shapes.  We have also started to look at repeating patterns.  The children enjoyed creating their own patterns as well as completing some online.  The children had to explain what the pattern was to their friend or an adult in class.

Weekly News 09.11.18

A huge well done!

On behalf of all the staff and adults who kindly accompanied us on our whole-school visit to Chester Zoo on Thursday, I would like to say a huge well done to all the children for their outstanding behaviour and for being such good company all day. We had the most wonderful day and the children’s comments (and many of the animals’ antics) kept us all entertained!

There are far too many anecdotes to mention but one in particular made me smile. After counting my group of children yet again, I said, “You keep moving – you’re everywhere.” Thea replied, “We’re children – that’s what we do!” 🙂

FOBS writing competition 

Thank you for the entries received so far for the FOBS Planet Superheroes writing competition. There is still time for your child to enter if they wish, before all the entries are delivered to the Library next week for judging. Remember it is only £2 per entry and there are some fantastic prizes to be won.

Children In Need

Next Friday 16th November, it is Children In Need day and we are asking all children to pay £1 (or £2 per family if 3 children) to come to school in non-uniform. We would love to see everyone wearing something spotty, linked to Children In Need Spotacular, or they can come dressed as a hero/heroine of their choice to coincide with our Planet Superheroes writing compeition. We would also like to hold a cake sale at morning break to raise more funds for Children In Need so if you are able to donate any cakes or biscuits we would be very grateful.

Letters home this week

FOBS movie night – Friday 16th November

I hope you have a lovely weekend.

On behalf of all the staff and children, thank you to everyone who was able to join us at our Harvest Celebration Assembly last Thursday.

Chester Zoo Trip

If you have not already done so, please can all outstanding permission letters and monies be returned on Monday 5th November. Thank you.  A reminder will be sent home next week regarding our visit but, in the meantime, all children must wear school uniform with sensible footwear and they will need to bring their packed lunch and drink(s) in a rucksack or bag which they can wear on their back/across them.  We will return at 4:30 pm and we have arranged for the bus companies who normally transport children home after school to collect from school at this later time on our return.  (A separate letter will be sent home on Monday to those children concerned.)
