Kingswood

Class 5 have had a great weekend at Kingswood Colomendy with fantastic weather! The adults have had to cope without a phone signal all weekend so we will get the photos uploaded as soon as possible!

Kingswood Return Time Changed

Having spoken to Kingswood this morning, we are now able to have lunch before we leave on Sunday so the coach should arrive back at Bicton at 2:30 p.m.

The signal is apparently quite ‘bad’ at Kingswood but we will do our best to upload photos to the website!

Information for Years 5 and 6

We have received a further email following the information sent out last week.  If your child is interested in attending the trials, they have asked that you contact them so that they can guage numbers.

Shropshire Warriors Basketball Trials

Shropshire Warriors Basketball Club is the only National League club in the county. We are holding trials for our Under 12, 13 and 14 National League teams on Sunday 15th June between 10.00-12.00pm. The trials (for pupils who are currently in years 5, 6, 7 and 8) take place at Telford College of Art & Technology, Haybridge Road, Wellington, Telford TF1 2NP.

 We are specifically looking for players with one or more of the following characteristics:

  1. 1.   Willingness to compete
  2. 2.   Willingness to learn
  3. 3.   A degree of game sense (not necessarily in basketball)
  4. 4.   Athletic in nature particularly quickness
  5. 5.   Tall

 If you are in doubt, please advise the pupil to attend.

 Ability to play basketball is not a necessary prerequisite: we can teach basketball!

 There will be a cost of £2 per player to cover facility hire.

Class 5 Half-Term Homework

DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY HALF-TERM HOMEWORK

To be brought into School for Monday 2nd June

smoothie

Your task for half-term is to design the label for your healthy drink and find a suitable bottle in which to present it. You can use ICT or hand-draw the label and you should think about the following:

• needs to be bold and eye-catching

• name of the drink needs to stand out/be clear

• ingredients need to be listed

• health benefits of the ingredients mentioned e.g. contains natural sugars or no artificial colours

• label needs to be the right size for your bottle

You do not have to print it off at home – you can bring it in to school on a memory stick or email it to me and I will print it, if you wish.

If you have any questions, email me on my normal email address – please don’t forget to do your homework, as I’m really looking forward to seeing your design!

Testing Drinks

Class 5 have been putting their taste buds to good use this morning, in preparation for designing and making their own healthy drinks in design and technology.  Some drinks were less well-received than others but, when it comes to knowing their blueberries from their cranberries, I seem to have a very knowledgeable class! Later this week we will investigate different fruits and food products for using in healthy drinks.

There are a couple of ‘classic’ photos below…!

Class 5 News

Thank you for all your contributions to yesterday’s party. Hopefully your child’s energy levels, from rather a lot of sugar, were starting to fall by the time they arrived home!

As your child may have told you last night, Oliver has been absent for most of this week after quite a nasty accident on his trampoline on Tuesday evening. We are looking forward to seeing him back in school next week and I know Class 5 are all keen to look out for him and help him in any way they can.

Many thanks.

Class 5 SATs Party

As in previous years, I would like to do a party on Friday afternoon (in school time) to reward Year 6s for their hard work this week and also to say thank you to Year 5s for ‘coping’ with the changes to the timetable.  I would be really grateful if Class 5 children could bring in something to eat or drink e.g. cakes, biscuits, crisps (I know these don’t sound very healthy but it’s what the children deserve this week!)

They may also bring in casual clothes to change into for the afternoon, if they wish.

Thank you for your support this week and in the past few months in the build up to SATs.  It really has made a difference and I know your child/children have benefited from it.

Mrs Natalie Johnson
