Today we started our science case study! We explored new vocabulary and thought about what we already know about the circulatory system! We then watched a video clip to explore how the heart works.
We also started our independent writing today. We built sentences on post it notes using the target grids we had created then started writing our first chunk. We tried really hard to think about our year 5 rubric.
Our new topic book is called ‘Commotion in the Ocean’, we have enjoyed reading the story and seeing if we can make different movements like the sea creatures in the book.
Our focus this week is rock pools, during morning crew we looked at different types of rocks and talked about how they look and feel.
In provision we explored how rocks change when they get wet, in the tough tray we played ‘I spy’ using magnifying glasses and in the playdough we created rockpool creatures.
We also has lots of fun recreating the ‘Punch and Judy’ puppet show we watched last week, the children did a great job of remembering all the different parts.
Yesterday, LKS2 enjoyed a very informative chat about fire safety. It was clear that the children already knew how to be safe if there was ever an emergency, but also they were able to learn new ideas. They learned that the fire department don’t just deal with fires, but also serious car crashes. Years 3 and 4 loved singing along to the fire safety songs. Thanks for a great session!
Today in Crew Welburn, we’ve had a focus on collecting adjectives for our writing. We are writing a description about our local area, so we took a walk to the park to listen to the sounds we could hear, and to describe what we could see. We wrote down loads of ideas and can’t wait to get writing tomorrow!
We have completed our last test of the week and we are beaming with pride! The children did not give up once, showed resilience and determination throughout this week. We couldn’t be any prouder🤩 Now we cannot wait for our party tomorrow to celebrate 🎉
Thank you for your kind words and the cornettos Miss Laing 😁
What a lovely lesson of maths we had today and so many fantastic “teachers” on show! We were practicing how to find fraction of amounts. Today was trickier than yesterday because we had to follow two steps. Divide by the denominator and multiply by the numerator.
We worked together to be able to help each other get smarter! The kindness on show and willingness to help each other was amazing to see. We certainly demonstrated our HoWLs today! The little “teachers” are now making me worried for my job!
Today we continued with our history work where we researched different illnesses as mini crews. We all worked collaboratively thinking about the two rubrics we had just discussed, this made us think more about team work and listening to others. After we had gathered our information we worked together thinking about how we would present our findings to the rest of the crew. Again we thought about our rubric and how we can engage an audience. We all presented extremely well, everyone participated and everyone listened well when the other groups shared their work. Finally, we applied our knowledge to a written task, here we showed all the learning we had just done.
To celebrate the hard work of our Y6’s this week, we are hosting a party on Friday. We would be grateful if children could bring a £1 contribution towards food and drinks and children can also come in non-uniform.
Thank you,
Mrs Fox and Miss McLoughlin
Today we started to compare The Great Plague with current medicine. We took part in an active activity in mini crews where we had to read statements scattered around the room. We had to decide if the statement related to The Great Plague, modern medicine or both. We discussed our ideas in mini crews then fed back our thoughts to the crew. We used the knowledge we had already gained to support our ideas.
