What a busy week we had in year 6!
In science we made the different parts of blood using cheerios and food colouring.
In History, we imagined what it might have felt like to live in London during the blitz.
In art, we looked at drawing to create an illusion of depth.

Well done year !

Another week of hard work in Year 5 this week!

We have finally finished our writing. I have been blown away by what the children wrote and I can’t believe the standard of writing in Year 5!

We have also been working very hard to practice our class assembly alongside some other exciting events in school.

The children are all really beginning to show that they are understanding our new waterside way and their behaviour has been exceptional this week - we even won the class cup!

⭐️ Well done to our class star of the week - Aanya
You always show our school values and have been a wonderful watersider. Best of luck at your new school!

Other awards:
🏆 Class dojo champion - Etta
🌱 Most improved learner - Jaylan
⭐️ Values superstar - Hiraj

Important reminders:
🔴 Wear read for show racism the red card next Friday. Our class assembly for this will be at 9:10 in our classroom due to the ongoing building works at school.
🇬🇷Ancient Greek Day - 20th October

Year 4 have shown so much enthusiasm for learning this week!

In Literacy we have been focusing on editing our sentences ready to publish next week. I have been so impressed by their use of the thesaurus to improve their writing.

We have been loving our Science topic about Electricity. This week we used the skills of real life scientists by experimenting to find out answers to questions. Finding out how changing the number of batteries or bulbs changes the brightness of the bulbs. You can see from the excited faces how much fun this was - ask your child what we found out!

In Maths we created a giant class numberline to practise ordering numbers to 10,000. This was tricky but we're starting to get the hang of it.

A special well done to...

- Class Star of the Week - Dilan, who showed incredible enthusiasm for his learning in Science, alongside excellent effort in his extended writing.

- Dojo Star - Moussa, who showed consistently high effort to meet his target of earning the most dojo points. Well done for setting a goal and working hard to achieve it!

- Values Star - Raina, for trying her best in all lessons and asking questions politely to find out more about our topics.

- A special shout out to Luca for putting in extra effort working with Mrs Kapoor to improve his extended writing. It's made a real difference and you've written an excellent advert!

I can't wait to share how well everyone is doing next week with you all at Parents' Evening. If you haven't made an appointment yet, then please log on to Arbor or contact the school office.

Have a lovely weekend!

Year 1 have had a busy week!

They enjoyed the scooter workshop today and did really well. They loved watching the assembly with all the scooter tricks too! They also worked hard on their Christmas card designs which will be coming home soon.

This week in maths we have been learning about counting backwards and one less.

The class have been really creative making dragons with autumn leaves and enjoying exploring autumn materials. This has linked to our science recognising man made or natural materials.

The PTA are pleased to announce we raised £215 from our Quiz Night on Friday!!!
It was a really fun night of drinks, trivia, and laughter! With a nail biting tiebreaker to decide our winners!!
Thank you to all the volunteers who made it happen and to all the quizzers who helped raise money!

Another fabulous week in Year 5 this week!

It all started on Monday, when we celebrated the start of our sponsored read! We had an afternoon filled with fun activities to engage us in reading and get us started on our word counts. Thank you so far to those have sent sponsorship money in, please do keep it coming.

We have continued to work hard on our learning, and have written the first paragraphs of our space themed diary entries. I was blown away by the vocabulary used and the careful choices children made in their writing to engage their readers.

Yesterday, we celebrated poetry day! The children wrote some creative personification poems and also explored the art of performing poetry. The children put 100% effort into this and their performances were fantastic. Thank you to all the parents who came and supported the children, it was lovely to see you all.

Well done to our award winners this week:
(Sorry there are no photos I completely forgot at the end of the day with the chaos of poetry cafe!)

🏆 Dojo Champion - Laila
⭐️ Values superstar - Max
🌱 Most Improved Learner - Alyssa

🤩 Class Star of the Week - Amay

Important messages:

I have not set a piece of homework this week. Please can the children practice their lines for the class assembly on the 16th October so they are ready and confident to say them aloud.

Children should also bring in an apron/old t-shirt to school that can be kept at school for art lessons or anything messy so they don’t ruin their lovely white shirts!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Dear families,

Thank you so much for the history homework last week, the children loved sharing what they found out from their families. I have put the spellings and cracking number sheets in the children’s books this week. Can they write at least 5 sentences using capital letters, full stops and adjectives linked to their spellings this week. Even better if they can do this using cursive handwriting!

Well done to star of the week: Jett 🌟 (and last week to Inayah! 🌟)
Golden notes award: Natalie, Órla and Frankie ⭐️

Thank you for being so patient whilst we wait to go back into our classroom. Hopefully it will only be for one more week. The children are doing well despite the disruption. Thank you to all the reading and support towards your children by coming to our poetry afternoon and reading café the week before, we really appreciate it. And a huge thank you for anyone that was able to buy anything from the Amazon wish list for us! We are looking forward to setting up our classroom with our new resources!

Year 1 have been working really hard this week continuing their work on numbers to 10 and thinking about the concept of one more.

They have been learning all about letters, thinking about why we write them and what we need to include when we write one. They are looking forward to writing their own letters soon.

In history they have been thinking about their own life and their birthday.
