The latest Year 5 Learning Update!

Maths: We were investigating sequencing decimals, adding and subtracting decimals with a different number of decimal places. Also, counting numbers through zero.
English: We were learning about the features of action scenes. This involved role playing and freeze frames and eventually writing our own action scenes.
Topic: We were delving into the windrush scandal. This involved researching and listening to actual testimonies of those who were caught up in the Scandal. We also visited the BFI, where we watched her film ‘Coming to England’ and asked her questions afterwards. (pictures attached)
Science: After researching Marie Curie and her great achievements, we wrote our own fact file on her life, including facts about her childhood, education, awards and legacy.
Art:& Design After designing our masks, we were now able to create them. We were lucky to have the help of a creative parent, Simone, who came in to deliver mask making and headdress making workshops.
PSHCE; We were learning about puberty and the changes which occur in the body. .

The latest Year 6 Learning Update!

Year 6 have now begun rehearsals for their exciting end-of-year production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The children are thoroughly enjoying learning the songs and dances, and it’s been fantastic to see them stepping confidently into character following their successful auditions.

In Art and D&T, pupils are busy designing and building sets and props for the show. Their creativity and teamwork are helping to bring Willy Wonka’s world to life in vibrant and imaginative ways.

As the weather warms up, please ensure your child brings a refillable water bottle to school each day.

P.E. kits are still needed every Wednesday as regular lessons continue alongside rehearsals.

Thank you for your ongoing support—we look forward to seeing you at the performance and celebrating the children’s fantastic efforts!
