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.

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 5 weekly update

English

This week children have written narrative descriptions of Willie’s journey home to London. Their task was to recount the journey using present tense, which was quite a challenge, but their finished work was excellent. They are now desperate to read on to find out what happens once Willie is reunited with his Mum!

Maths

We started a new unit on statistics with our main focus this week on line graphs. Children have interpreted line graphs in a range of different contexts and created their own line graphs using given data. We will continue with our work on line graphs next week.

Science

The whole class have now shared their half-term homework on Sir Isaac Newton and we have built on their research by using different-shaped prisms to refract light in and around the classroom.

History

Whilst the Year 5s were enjoying the Languages Day at The Corbet on Friday, Year 6s continued to work on their Dig For Victory – inspired posters.

Class 5 Visit to the Imperial War Museum

Just a reminder that it is our visit to the Imperial War Museum at Manchester on Wednesday 20th which we are all very excited about!

Have  a lovely weekend.
