‘This week, we have been planning an evacuee letter and a diary from someone in The Blitz. In Maths, we have been trying out more efficient methods for doing division. We tried bus stop method and also had a go at a factor method. Bus stop method is better for 1 digit but factor method is better for 2 digits. We made a jumper for a cup in Science the water inside the cups started at 90 degrees and ended up at about 70 degrees.’

Tuesday 29 September
A very wet day today! The children coped brilliantly and we did manage to get outside for break time and a little bit of lunchtime too.
Please could everyone remember to bring a change of footwear into school. (Trainers and their wellies would be ideal) and a waterproof coat. We are trying to get outside as much as possible despite the weather.

Today in science each table carried out their own investigations into thermal insulator and thermal conductors. Is a plastic cup a good thermal insulator? Using Dataloggers and thermometer we all found out! Everyone had a go at drawing line graphs of their results too. Great first effort!
In Maths everyone worked hard on their multiplication calculations methods today. Solving problems and practising their skills. We will be working on this all week, so plenty of time to build up confidence and efficiency!
This afternoon we face timed Farmer Joe who was in the calf shed! The class asked lots of questions. Joe showed us his youngest calf – (just 24hours old) also a calf that was born 2 days ago who was nearly all white. See the pictures below. We will be face timing Joe every fortnight to discover lots more about the farm.

Wednesday 23 September 2020
Here are the answers for last week’s Maths Homework. I have also reminded the children to talk to us about their homework if they are struggling with answering the questions or indeed if they are struggling to see how their work was/is incorrect once they have marked it all.
Monday 21 September
We have had a great start to the week. Today we have started our Science topic, which is Materials and their properties – we found out about thermal insulators and thermal conductors.
Today we have also read another part of Goodnight Mister Tom. We are really enjoying the story, currently focusing on the dialogue- thinking about why the author has used it.
Homework:
Today we gave out SPAG books. These are for the children to keep at home. Each week we will suggest a page for homework. This will be consolidation of work the children have done in class. I will also put a link to the answers so that once they have completed the page at home they can check it.
This week its Page 4 on Nouns. Here are the answers
Friday 17 September 2020
The children have had another fabulous week and, although perhaps a little more tired than last week, have really been a credit to themselves again.
We have been completing assessments in SPAG, Reading and Maths, so we can ascertain as to where there may be areas of focus needed for each subject over this half term.
In our Topic work we have been thinking about the features of a newspaper and have started to plan our own news story about the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939. There is a great link here if the children need to remind themselves about what they should be including.
We have given out Maths homework this week (SPAG will be going out at the beginning of next week). All the children have been given a ‘Maths Practice Question’ book which they now need to keep safely at home. Miss Owen will give out the Maths homework every Thursday and will put the answers on the class webpage the following Wednesday for the children to mark their own work at home. We have already spoken to the children about the homework system needing to be a little different this year. The homework will, of course, have a link with what we have been doing in class that week and if the children are struggling at all with any aspect of their homework they have been encouraged to talk to us about it during the week and we will go through any of these issues with them.
We hope you all have a wonderful weekend and keep sending in news of what you have been up to so we can share with the rest of the class.

Good morning!
What a wonderful start to the new academic year last week! It was superb to see all the Year 6s back and eager to start learning.
We have been very busy and not only have we been completing a Daily Mile every day, we have: started out World War II topic, reminded ourselves of place value and negative numbers, started reading Goodnight Mister Tom, brushed up on our atlas and map reading skills, made gas mask boxes, taken part in a variety of PE and Games activities and had time to catch up with one another and enjoyed the sunshine! Phew!
The class have also been extremely sensible with all the new rules around school.
On Friday the Rainbow Certificates were presented to Oscar and Olly for their brilliant contributions during our whole class discussions and for making a great start to the year.
Reading
The children brought home a reading record sheet, on Friday. Could you please initial each box when you hear your child read or discuss their book with them, it needs to stay at home until your child has read 100 times. When they return the completed record to class they will receive their certificate.
Friday 11 September
Here is our Curriculum Newsletter for World War 2 for this term. Please share this with your parents so they can see what our plans are for this term.
Homework This week we have not set any home learning for you. Please continue to read lots of different styles of writing this weekend. This could be a fiction or non fiction book, a newspaper, a magazine or a recipe.
