Year 6 Science Day at The Corbet

Friday 12th July, 2019

Class 3 weekly update – 12/7/19

In English the children have been looking at the homophones their/there/they’re, two/to/too, hear/here and sea/see.  They matched them up, look at the meaning of each word and used them in sentences to show the difference in meanings.

In maths the children have been completing a block graph.  They gathered the information, recorded this onto a block graph and read the information to discuss questions such as ‘Which was the most/least popular choice?’  They also had a go at a maths investigation to combine different amounts to make a total.  The problem involved counting in steps of 2, 3, 5 and 10 and combining them to make a total of 35 or 46.  The children worked well together to use their skills and understanding and show all their working out using a range of methods, e.g. part-part whole model, bar model, drawings, using apparatus.

The children have been working on their DT project this week.  They completed a taste testing activity where they tasted a range of Australian based food – vegemite, pavlova, Tim Tams, lamingtons and meat pies.  They had lots of fun tasting these, some of which they enjoyed more than others!  They have also been discussing ideas for a new pavlova recipe and thinking of alternative ingredients they could use to create a new recipe.  They then used their ideas to design their new pavlova recipe, thinking about the questions:  Who are you designing your pavlova for?  What ingredients will you use?  What equipment will you need?  What will your pavlova look like?  They had lots of interesting ideas and are all looking forward to making them next week!

Please can you bring in your ‘explorer’ costume for the celebration assembly next Wednesday.  The children are welcome to come into school ready on the morning.  Please could they bring in their uniform to change into afterwards.  The children’s song sounds great – thank you for helping them learn this at home.

Today has been Miss Francis’ last day in Class 3.  We have all enjoyed having her in class 3 and learning lots of new and exciting things.  We are all very sad to see her leave and we wish her lots of luck in her new school.

Have a lovely weekend.

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.
