PE - We started the lesson discussing the various athletic sporting activities that make up both the Olympics and Para-Olympics, we found out that these events are on both track and field and simultaneously take place. 

Interestingly, the programme of the 2024 Summer Olympics will feature a staggering 329 events in 32 sports. This years Olympic Games are being held in Paris.

Mrs Edwards then took us outside and practiced different ways to walk, run, jog and jump.

Science - We have started our study on light; recognising light sources and realising that we only see light because light is bouncing off objects and entering our eyes.

Maths - We have been reminding ourselves to use formal methods to add, subtract, multiply and divide. 

Topic for this term is World War II and the Waring World

We have found out why World War II began and which countries were involved, and who the leader of each country was. We looked at a picture from WWII which shows the remains after a bomb hit the city. It was interesting how we inferred what might have happened. We discussed how how the children in the picture may be feeling, What are their thoughts? Where might their family be? What will happen to them?  Can we relate to how they may be feeling?  This gave us a great deal to think about.

Art - Linking to our Topic we are looking at War Artists: Paul Nash & Michael Alford and War photographer: Roger Fenton.

Miss Parker discussed the importance of understanding technical language and there meanings ie: background; foreground; middle ground; hashing etc... 

English - We have been looking at different registers of the English language. We have discovered that it ranges from very informal and standard English to very formal to technical.

We found that standard English was very useful when writing letters of complaint. We used a thesaurus to find synonyms for frequently used words. We know that our knowledge of synonyms is extremely important, as we can use alternative words as opposed to continually repeating ourselves, this makes for more interesting and powerful reading.

Great start back to school and getting ready for our SATs in May, so lots of revision going on.

Our PE days have remained the same and all children should come to school in their PE kit on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Can we please also remind you that  all earrings should be removed on the days we have PE. If they are not removed the children will be asked to remove them before they are able to participate in PE.

Welcome back to term 5.

We hope you had a fantastic Easter and indulged in lots of yummy treats over the break. 

Lots of things are happening this term.

Our SATs will be taking place in May. All of our children have been working really hard to enrich their skills to support with these tests, so we wish them all good luck.

Our topic this term is World War II. We will be linking lots of our curriculum lessons to this subject. If you have any artefacts from this era or have any information to support this topic, please feel free to bring it in or share it with us.
