Well done Class 5 on a super week!

In English we have been focusing on making predictions. A lot has been revealed in our class novel during our reading sessions this week and the children have been establishing the links between all of the facts they know to make calculated and appropriate predictions about what is going to happen next. The children have produced some fantastic ideas that they have then supported effectively with evidence from the text. Their work has been at a high standard in terms of quality and quantity which has been brilliant to see.

In Maths we have moved onto our decimals, percentages and equivalent fractions unit of work which the children have approached with a huge amount of enthusiasm. The children have demonstrated a high standard of prior knowledge and have produced some fantastic work. They have shown a high level of resilience to work on problem solving questions that require reasoning skills, explaining their methodology and how they’ve arrived at their final answer.

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

Well done Class 5 on a brilliant week!

In English, we have focused on persuasive writing. We have talked about some very mature issues that our class novel has brought up and it has been lovely to hear the children’s thoughts and opinions. We have used a debate to get across points of view, countering arguments by using facts and evidence from the book. Everyone has shown fantastic listening skills and the mature approach that the children have taken towards this topic has been extremely impressive.

In Maths we have been multiplying fractions. The children have used their knowledge of times tables to show a high level of understanding, working with the inverse operation of division, identifying the relationships between numbers to simplify multiplied fractions and to convert them into mixed numbers.

We had our first swimming session on Tuesday which was brilliant. Well done to everyone, you were super organised and demonstrated some great swimming technique. Please make sure you remember your kit next Tuesday.

On Wednesday we attended Crucial Crew. Everybody joined in the activities, tried their best and had a great time. Well done Class 5, I’m glad you enjoyed the experience.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone, I’ll see you next week.

Mr Sudlow.

Well done everyone on a brilliant first week back!

In English this week we have been working on play scripts using a very dramatic chapter from our class novel. We thought about how each character might be feeling during the scene, how they might move around as a consequence of the emotions they were experiencing and how they might speak. The children then incorporated all of the key features in script writing to their own work, they set the scene and built a character list before going onto getting their dialogue and stage directions down. We really focused heavily on how the script needed to be laid out on the page so that it is easy to navigate and read when performing. We will be looking at performing them on Monday.

Our Maths work this week has focused on subtracting fractions and the children have applied their knowledge from adding fractions to this current concept really well. They have worked on a range of fluency and reasoning problems that have required them to experiment with numbers, try different combinations and to think deeply about how they can arrange their work accurately to ensure that they can arrive at a correct answer.

Thank you to all the children for their hard work litter picking around the village on Wednesday. Your enthusiasm and positive attitude was infectious and has made a real difference to our local community which I know will be appreciated by the residents surrounding our school.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone and I’ll see you all next week,

Mr Sudlow.

Well done to everyone in class 5 for a fantastic week after a full-on weekend at Arthog. Your effort levels have been incredible and the work you’ve produced has been amazing!

In English this week we have been looking at writing a character description. A prominent character has just been introduced to us in our novel and the first impressions can differ between us as readers, so it’s been really interesting to get everyone’s thoughts and perspectives on the recent events in the book and what they think the plot has in store for the next few chapters. The children have used imaginative vocabulary along with some great similes and metaphors to describe the character in brilliant detail.

In Maths this week we have been order ambien cr online focusing on the addition of mixed numbers. Everyone has worked so hard as the problems have often been three steps. The level of concentration and understanding that the children have shown has been fantastic.

On Tuesday we had our cultural diversity day. This year we looked at the cultures of Japan and Slovakia, we had talks with a Q ‘n’ A session from two of the boys in our class and the children found out lots of interesting facts about both cultures. We did a fact hunt around the classroom as well as some artwork. Thank you to both of the children who stood up and talked, you were amazing.

Have a fantastic half-term everyone and I’ll see you on Monday 3rd June.

Mr Sudlow.
