Class 5 update 22.06.18

English

In English this week, children have written newspaper reports focusing on the search for and subsequent rescue of Willie from his home in London. Next week we will be using Willie’s holiday at the seaside with Mister Tom, as a focus for poetry writing.

Maths

We have continued with our work on line graphs. This has included solving problems on graphs with several lines, suggesting contexts for given graphs without labels and titles and also creating our own line graphs to show how food prices have risen over the years.

Science

In science we have started to learn about how the human eye works and the different functions of each part of the eye. We will continue with this next week and start to discuss colour blindness and also how periscopes work.

History

We have continued with our research on the role of the Home Guard during World War 2.

Sports Day

Just a reminder that all children will need to bring a hat and drinks bottle for Sports Day on Tuesday. Children may come to school wearing their PE kit and trainers and they do not have to bring uniform to change back into at lunchtime unless they want to. Please can all children have sun cream applied before coming to school. Thank you.

We hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Class 4 weekly update

English – Writing events of Chapter 16 from the perspective of either the character Millicent or Colin. We discussed the key events in the chapter and made a plan of our first person narrative, making notes on the events/feelings of the characters and recording a range of cohesive devises to use in our work. Then we wrote a first draft of our narrative and edited and improved our ideas. The children all worked really hard to include all the features we discussed.

Maths – We have started a new unit: ‘Position and Direction’. Year 4 children have been describing position and drawing on a grid using a set of coordinates. Year 5 children have been looking at position of points/shapes in the first quadrant and reflection of points/shapes with coordinates.

Topic – We continued to compare schools in Ancient Greece and modern Britain. The children did further research to find out lots more interesting facts of their own to compare schools.

RE – We discussed the behavior of Adam and Eve and whether what they did was right or wrong. They also talked about the part of the story where they ate the fruit is known as ‘the Fall’. The children then used the events in the story to produce the front page for the ‘Eden Times’ newspaper to describe what happened.

Spellings – To be tested on THURSDAY 28TH JUNE due to Year 5’s going to Arthog on Friday.

Spellings 22-6-18

Homework – Maths work on coordinates / angles.

Well done Class 4, you’ve all worked hard this week! It’s great to be back and lovely to see you all.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Videos: Bicton Choir at Concord College Choir Competition

Our choir did an amazing job at entertaining the audience at Concord College yesterday.

Every school were given the song ‘Happy’ by Pharrell Williams to perform and in addition to that we were allowed to choose an additional song from within the theme of ‘Pop songs’

We chose the pop song ‘Reach’ by S Club 7 which the choir performed extremely well. We received lots of praise from the judge who loved the happiness of our choir and the high standard of their performance. He said that he had found it very difficult to choose between us and the winning choir (who’s pop song choice was ‘Sing’ from the Military Wives choir at the Commonwealth Games, which sounded fantastic!). Many parents and teachers from the audience commended our choir’s performance at the end which certainly made us all feel like winners!

Here are the videos of our performances

Class 2 Weekly Update

English: This week in English we have continued to practise using the suffixes ‘s’ and ‘es’ and the prefix ‘un’ to change the meaning of words. Yesterday the children made clay monsters to link with our story ‘Not Now, Bernard’ and today we will be writing instructions on how we made our clay monsters. They did a fantastic job! There are lots of little artists in Class 2. I have attached the photos below.

Maths: We have moved onto telling the time this week. We began the week using language such as before and after e.g. I have a bath before I go to bed. I play outside after I have had my lunch. We then moved onto telling time to the hour and half hour.

Science: In Science the children went on a hunt around the school to identify different types of plant e.g. daisies, dandelions, clover, etc.

History: In history the children identified photographs of seaside holidays 100 years ago, 50 years ago and now. They then designed their own bathing suits for a 100 years ago, 50 years ago and today.

RE: The children learned about the Hindu creation story yesterday. They had part of the story given to them and had to draw pictures to reflect their part in the story.

Spellings: To be tested Friday 29th June 2018.

Spellings 22.6.18

Homework: We have been practising our reasoning and problem solving skills in Maths and I’d like the children to complete homework on this relating to our time work this week. They may need some adult support with this as we are still developing our skills. The sheet they have been provided with has a small space for them to explain their answers so please use the back of the sheet if needed. When the sheet says “Explain how you know”, please could you encourage your child to write a full sentence and avoid saying “because I looked carefully”. If you’d like to write any notes at the bottom of the sheet to indicate how much support your child needed – then please feel free to do so. Homework Due in: Friday 29th June 2018.

Sports Day: Just a reminder that Sports Day is on Tuesday 26th June. The children were given a letter on Wednesday explaining which team they are in and which colour we would like them to wear.

Thank you for your continued support.

English: We have continued learning about persuasive writing this week. The children have been learning how to write exaggerated sentences with powerful adjectives and have been planning their own advert for their chocolate bar design for Willy Wonka’s factory.

Science: The children have been learning about the good and bad things about the sun and how we can protect ourselves from its dangers. They created a poster explaining this.

History: We have done some role play about what it was like for the Celts when the Romans invaded Britain and we then wrote a diary as a Celt explaining what happened and how we felt.

Art: We have started to make the side pieces for our helmet and will attach and paint these next week.
