Wicked Writing!
Last week, Year 5 and 6 have been writing some very interesting pieces about events and memories from their pasts. We have been looking to remember our ‘must dos’ when writing, such as capital letters, full stops to end sentences and legible handwriting.
Here are a few of our fantastic pieces from 5/6B!
Well done Alexa and Ellis!
Science ‘Eggs’periment
Year 5 and 6 have been putting their Science skills to the test this week. They were given the task of becoming the protector of Humpty Dumpty – our Science learning is linked to our class text ‘After the fall’. They had to work out and test which materials would protect Humpty the best, if he had a fall again. They had great fun testing this out, with the most successful materials being bubble wrap and cardboard. Unfortunately not all the eggs survived- they came to a very messy end!
5/6M Celebration
For great learning…
Lenny – Your story plan was imaginative and contained well-chosen vocabulary.
For sport and physical activity…
Alex – For a great demonstration during our frisbee lesson.
For living and learning…
Elliot- You always greet people polietly. Your warm smile and friendly manner make you a pleasure to be around. You always ask ‘how are you?’ which shows how much you care about others.
5/6B certificate celebration
Having all the children back in school has been a fantastic feeling. One week in, I have really enjoyed meeting the new faces in 5/6B. It’s also been lovely to see the familiar faces, too! I couldn’t have asked for a better start to this year from 5/6B – every pupil has shown a fantastic attitude and a desire to learn. I hope all pupils are feeling happy and comfortable in your new classroom environment – you’ve all settled in so well!
Unfortunately, we can’t have our celebration assesmblies at the moment, so we’ll post our winners instead! Here are the certificate winners for this week.
For great learning…
Maisie K – You have started your first week in 5/6 like you’ve been here for years! Your learning attitude is fantastic, your hand is always up and you aren’t afraid to have a go at answering difficult questions. Keep it up, Maisie, and well done!
For sport and physical activity…
Maisy L – You have shown a fantastic attitude in our daily miles so far this year. You worked really well in your PE group and you are a pleasure to have in year 5/6B. Well done, Maisy!
For living and learning…
Michael – It’s never easy entering an environment that you don’t know. You have had a fantastic start this week and you have fitted into 5/6B really well! You are always polite, respectful of others and a pleasure to have in the classroom. You have shown good manners and presented yourself as a fantastic living and learning role model. Well done, Michael!
5/6 S Certificate Celebration
It has been brilliant to have all the children back in school this week and it’s been lovely to finally meet the new members of my class. It’s also been great to see the familiar faces of the children I taught last year. Everyone has come into school with an amazing attitude to their learning and they’ve settled in so well – I’m so proud of them.
As we can’t have the celebration assembly on a Friday at the moment, we will be posting the certificate winners on here each week for each class.
For great learning…
Jenson- you have come back to school with a mature attitude to your learning. You’ve participated in all lessons and tried so hard with your work. Well done – keep it up!
For sport and physical activity…
Gaia- you joined in the PE lesson this week so well. You worked well in your team and also looked like you were having lots of fun! Well done.
For living and learning…
Imogen- you are a very polite and well-mannered member of my class. I have watched this week as you’ve helped and supported the new members of our class – thank you and well done.
Feel the rhythm
Thursday afternoon means African drumming for year 5/6…. Possibly to the annoyance of the rest of the school.
Welcome Back
What a fantastic start to the new school year!
The Year 5/6 team is really pleased to see the children return to school. With smiles and an enthisiastic attitude to their learning, the children have really impressed their teachers.
Today, the children have made predictions based on what happened to Humpty Dumpty after his fall. From getting an office job to narrowly avoiding a huge frying pan, the ideas came thick and fast.
Keep up the good work.
Own It app
Has you child got a mobile phone? If they have, do the have the Own It app from the BBC?
The Own It app helps children and young people take control of your online life. It gives them advice when they need it, in real-time as they type. It’s designed to help them make smart choices, feel more confident, and live their best life online.
The Own It app comes with a special keyboard. This can be used like any other keyboard, but it also gives users helpful tips and friendly advice as they write.
There’s also the ability to track how they feel and improve their wellbeing. There are plenty of gifs and emojis so users can express themselves.
The Own It keyboard and app is personal to the user. Everything your child types is kept completely private, and never leaves the Own It app on their phone.
Wearing PE kit to school – which days?
Hopefully you have read the information in the Autumn for all – Key Info Scholes, which also has a link to our uniform policy.
On the days your child has PE, they should come to school in their PE kit. (Track-suit bottoms instead of shorts would be good on colder days. Footwear : black/brown/grey/white flat shoes which are safe to run around in.)
Footwear on PE days could be children’s ‘school shoes’ which are often a ‘trainer’ style anyway, if you want to avoid having to buy 2 pairs of shoes.
Please find below the days each class has allocated PE times, which will be taught outdoors, except in extreme weather.
- F2 Sunshine and F2 Rainbow (Miss Parling & Mrs Allen-Kelly/Mrs Wilkins) – Wednesday & Friday from week beginning 28 September
- 1KN (Miss Lowry/Mrs Lake) – Monday & Friday
