Class 5 weekly update

Well done class 5 on a great week.

Our focus in English has been on letter writing. The children briefly recapped the features of a letter before planning out the content for their work. They moved onto writing an initial first draft using a layout guide, their individual plans and the class novel to help them. After that they evaluated their work along with peer assessment and using marking comments. The children then edited and improved their draft to create the final version of their letter. Next week our topic will be descriptive writing and the children will be re-writing a chapter of the book.

In Maths the children have been working really hard on fractions. We have used our  knowledge of the relationships between numbers to convert fractions so that they have a common denominator. This has then enabled the children to compare and order the fractions, using mathematical symbols. The children have utilised written calculation alongside visual representations of fractions really accurately and efficiently during this week. We have then moved onto adding and subtracting fractions that have a common denominator as well as fractions that don’t, using multiplication and division to find the best solution for converting fractions so that they can be added or subtracted. We will be continuing with this topic next week.

Please note that our weekly spelling test will take place next Thursday (16th) because of the Arthog trip on Friday.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone, see you next week.

Mr Sudlow.

Class 2 Weekly Update 03/05/2019

We were all delighted to see Class 2’s smiley faces coming into school this week. Full of energy and chocolate ready for their week back at school. We hope that you all had quality time together.
In English, after changing to different phases and Read Write Inc groups, they all settled down well to their new stories and writing practise. The children were set their weekly mini focus which was to re-read texts and check their work to make sure that it both made sense and contained all the ingredients of fab Y1 sentences. Class 2 have also looked at alternative spellings for the phonemes they have been using and have been learning to recognise and learn some of their key words by sight.
In Maths the children have moved onto their next area of learning which is related to multiplication and division. They have been practising counting in 10’s and have been showing this by practically creating number lines with apparatus. They have also been making and describing equal groups of objects and have solved problems involving equal groups. They ended the week by adding equal groups of objects with real life contexts. We would like to say well done to the children for learning their times tables in their homework books over Easter.
In Science the children have begun their new topic of plants. They have initially learned about what a plant needs in order to survive and have looked at a plants vital structural parts.
Class 2 have loved PE this week as they have started their initial sports day training and practise. This term they will be doing this alongside striking and fielding games.
Please may I make you aware that Class 2’s PE slots are now on a Wednesday and Thursday, so could they have their kits along with their trainers for outdoors.
The new spelling lists have gone home today to be tested next Friday. I hope the phonics practise books have been fun to use with your children and are something for you to do as much or as little as you like at home with them in order to refresh and practise their skills.
I have once again been bowled over by the wonderfully creative and well thought out homework projects which have been created. They look amazing and I hope that you had a great time doing them together. You are the cornerstones of your children’s lifelong learning journey and I am so glad I am supported by such engaged and supportive parents and carers.
I hope that you have a lovely bank holiday weekend together and I look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday.

Class 5 weekly update

Welcome back everyone, I hope you all had a fantastic Easter!

The children have settled into the new term really well this week. They’ve worked incredibly hard, their focus has been brilliant and the work that they’ve produced has been amazing.

Our class novel for this term is ‘Holes’ by Louis Sachar and the children have really enjoyed the opening chapters as there is some humour in the book as well as mystery. With the mystery in mind, our focus in English this week has been on newspaper reports. The children began by using a planning sheet as a guide to writing their own extensive plan, they came up with their own theories to explain the mystery and these have been included in their writing. They then completed their first draft and after analysing feedback from me and Mrs Allen, as well as identifying their own next steps using self-assessment, the children then went onto edit their first draft before writing the final version.

In Maths we have carried on with our fractions unit that we started just prior to Easter. This week we have looked at converting improper fractions to mixed numbers and have started to use those conversions to work in number sequences. The children have shown incredible perseverance at times this week, looking at problems from lots of different angles, using trial and error techniques to calculate their answers.

Have a fantastic bank holiday and I will see you all again on Tuesday,

Mr Sudlow.
