LKS2 have been learning about the roles of men and women during World War 2. This week, we have researched the different roles men had. The children learnt that men did many jobs; such as: working in industry, down the mines, for the police force, as a fire officer, as an ARP Warden and many many more. The children presented their information by making posters. They were so eager to show off all their new learning.
In one of the LKS2 maths groups, we have been working really hard on Place Value, understanding how many tens and ones there are in a number. This young man has worked so hard and is feeling very proud of himself. We are all very proud of you!
MI started to explore the front cover and blurb of our new text. We explored the layout thinking about what the text may be about. We then worked collaboratively in a vocabulary challenge where we matched words from the front cover to definitions. We then linked this back to our guiding question and expedition. We then made predictions based on the front cover thinking about what we may read about, the different sections in the book and linking our ideas to books with similar themes.
Preparations for Young Voices will begin on Tuesday 1st November (3:00-4:00) for children in KS2. Please ensure that your child is signed up via ParentPay to secure their place. The club will be FREE to attend and further information about our Young Voices performance will be sent out in due course. This event is always such a great success and it would be fantastic if as many children as possible are able to attend our rehearsals weekly ready for our performance at Sheffield Arena in January 2023!
Below are the links for the children to use to continue to learn our songs for music whilst they are at home.

LKS2 have been working on creating propaganda for the War effort. We have learned this week about the roles of women during the Second World War and thought it would be a great idea to encourage more help for the effort. We learned that these posters were important in making women want to help with the War effort and fill the important roles that men had left behind.
We certainly think that these posters would have encouraged more people to help during the Second World War!
It has been a busy last week but we have finally made it to half term. Have a great half term everyone and enjoy our first ever weekly highlights video!

Crew Shields have really had to engage their brains this morning in Maths as we tackled some sums that required more than one exchange. This was made a little trickier especially when there was a zero in the number because we have to exchange from another column. Despite being tricky for a Friday morning, it didn’t faze them and they have given it 100% as always. Great effort everyone!
We’ve had such an amazing time on our school trip today! We’ve made fries and took them to the enchanted forest, searched for bears in the woods and made porridge for our Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Our teachers were really impressed with our listening ears and looking eyes to make sure we were being safe and working hard, and Sharon from Austerfield Study Centre said that she had loved having us for the day! We can’t wait until our next trip 🚌
