Class 5 weekly update

Well done to everyone in Class 5 on a fantastic action-packed week!

Last week in English the children finished their story writing. They have taken the events of our class novel and used them as a base for their work, building on the storyline by adding extra detail or changing small aspects of the plot to incorporate their own ideas, resulting in a more exciting adventure. The children have been challenged to think really creatively, using a wide range of punctuation and vocabulary to make their writing interesting and engaging for the reader.

In Maths we worked on rounding decimals to the nearest whole, tenth, hundredth and thousandth. We recapped the rules of rounding and used this prior knowledge to great effect with the children producing accurate work that was supported by detailed yet concise reasoning, explaining their calculations and the thinking behind their answers.

A big thank you to the children for their excellent participation levels on activity day and sports day. It was a remarkable effort because not only did you take part in lots of different activities that were quite challenging, especially in the hot weather, but you also played a crucial role in running the events by helping the younger children and taking on extra responsibilities to help all of the adults. You set a fantastic example last week and should be proud of your involvement.

This week in English the children are going to be working in pairs on play scripts. They will have a choice of which events in our novel they want to base their work on before planning, writing and performing collaboratively. In Maths we will be finishing off our unit of work on decimals and percentages.

This week we will also be going for our final swimming session and if you have any questions regarding the football tournament at Baschurch Village Hall on Thursday, please do not hesitate to pop in and see me either at the start or end of the school day.

Thanks… Mr Sudlow.

Sports Day 

On behalf of all the staff, a huge well done to all the children for their excellent behaviour, attitude and effort on Sports Day.  It was, without question, the best behaviour and sporting attitude we have ever seen and we are incredibly proud of how the children all looked out for and encouraged each other.

Thank you to everyone who came along to watch – you were a wonderful audience! Thank you also to FOBS for providing the much-needed refreshments throughout the day.

Polished Brass and Windspiration

Well done to the Year 5s and 6s, and the Year 2s for their wonderful performances at Theatre Severn on Monday and Tuesday evening. This was the first time that we have taken part in the Windspiration and we will definitely be signing up for it next year!

Dinner money

The school kitchen need all dinner monies to be paid by Wednesday 10th July at the latest please.

Clubs – fees and collection arrangements

Please can all outstanding breakfast/after-school club fees be paid as soon as possible. School cannot afford to cover the staffing costs if fees are not paid promptly. Thank you.

We are trialling new collection arrangements for after-school clubs. The pedestrian gate will now be closed between 3:30 and 4:30. We recognise that some parents may need to collect children before the end of club at 4:30 so parents will now need to go to the main office between 3:30 and 4:30 and the office staff will arrange for your child to be brought down to the office. The pedestrian gate will be reopened at 4:30 for children to be collected from the eco-room. As with any changes, new arrangements take a bit of getting used to but if we find that the new system works we will make the arrangements permanent from September. We thank you in advance for your support.

We will still be offering after-school provision on Friday 12th July, for those children who will not be attending the Summer BBQ with a parent.

Class 3 weekly update – 5/7/19

English – This week we have been planning and writing a non-chronological report about sea turtles.  The children ensured they included an introduction, title, subheadings and subject specific words. These are now up on display outside the classroom and look fantastic!

They have also been using the prefix ‘un’ and using these in their own sentences and sorting different types of sentences including commands, statements, questions and exclamations.

In Read Write Inc the red group have been reading ‘The jar of oil’ and writing a letter in the role as the poor man to the prince begging him for another jar of oil.  The blue group have been reading ‘Follow me’ and writing about their experiences of riding a bike for the first time.

Maths – In maths the children have been drawing pictograms by sorting objects into different groups, recording information into a tally chart and using the data from a tally chart to record into a pictogram.  Then they were interpreting pictograms by identifying which items are the least/most popular and identifying the correct sentences referring to a pictogram.  They have also been making patterns with shapes by using quarter turns clockwise and anticlockwise.

Topic – The children have been finding out about the Daintree rainforest and answering questions such as; What is it?  Where is it?  Why is it interesting?  They then used this information to make their own PowerPoint to share their information with others.

There will be no spellings test next week – well done to all the children for working so hard to learn these over the year.

Class 5 weekly update

Well done Class 5 for a fantastic week!

Our focus in English has been on story writing. The children have used our reading from this week to identify the key events that they needed to get into their writing. From there they have been able to plan changes to those events that they could incorporate into their story in order to make it even more exciting. The children have planned ideas using a wide range of descriptive techniques and vocabulary so they could make their writing detailed and interesting. This is a large piece of work and the children will be carrying on with it next week with our main focus being on proof-reading, analysing and suggesting ways in which the children can edit and improve their first draft.

In Maths we have looked at working with decimals that include thousandths. The children have demonstrated a really secure understanding of place value, working with confidence across a range of question styles. We have looked at equivalent fractions and the relationship between fractions and decimals.

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

Mr Sudlow.

Class 3 weekly update 28.6.19

English – At the start of the week the children were generating open and closed questions relating to sea creatures and ranking them in order of importance.  They then discussed and clarified the meaning of words by identifying which were unfamiliar, then researched and recorded their meaning and used them in a context.

In Read Write Inc the green group have been reading ‘In the sun’ and writing a postcard about what activities they like to do at the seaside.  It has already made us think of our summer holidays coming soon!  The yellow group have been reading ‘The Gingerbread Man’ and writing in the role of the character Seth in the story about what happened with the gingerbread man.  The blue and red group have been learning how the prefix ‘un’ changes the meaning of verbs and adjectives and using these in their own sentences.  They have also been recognising and writing different types of sentences – statements, questions, commands and exclamations.

Maths – This week the children have been working practically to describe movements and turns using the key vocabulary: up, down, forwards, backwards, left, right, quarter turn, half turn, three quarter turn, full turn, clockwise and anti-clockwise.  There has been a lot of information to take in and the children have really enjoyed giving / following instructions to move around the playground.  They ended the week by using their knowledge of movement and turns to describe and record their own directions on a map to locate different objects.

RE – In RE the children have been continuing their topic on ‘The Five Pillars of Islam’.  They have been learning about the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and what happens during this important time of the year and why it is so important to Muslims.  They also linked their understanding to how they observe other religious times and important times in their own lives, e.g. giving gifts at Christmas.

Spellings – To be tested on Friday 5th July. 28.06.19

Hope you all have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sun we have all been waiting for!
