Weekly Bulletin - 17th November 2023

​This Week In School…
Year 3 – have been using their call from Dog Man to create their very own comic book. They have used the evidence from around the school to formulate a fantastic series of events that end in an interesting and well-thought-out Dog Man adventure. In Maths, they have used their knowledge of their 2 times-tables to explain halving and doubling. They then used that understanding to solve word problems. In DT, they have created some creative finger and hand puppets, which let them show off their sewing skills.
Year 4 – have loved trying to solve the mystery of what has happened to Dog Man! They have really enjoyed drawing their own comic book strips where they have made themselves the hero of the story rescuing Dog Man. In Computing they have been phishing... they learnt about online scams and how their online activity can be traced and traced via their digital footprint. In History, they carried out research comparing Athens and Sparta. They were shocked to learn about the different ways boys and girls were treated. In Maths, they have become more familiar with their 3, 6 and 9 times tables and how they are related.
Year 5 – have worked hard in understanding improper fractions and mixed numbers. They have been busy converting fractions from one form to another. In English, the children finished writing their newspaper articles about Salim's disappearance and worked hard publishing them - they were impressive! The children explored reversible and irreversible reactions by carrying out the Coke and Mentos experiment, which they enjoyed so much! In Humanities, the children learnt about King Alfred the Great to deepen their understanding of the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons in Britain. It was a busy but fun week in Year 5!
Year 6 – have enjoyed writing about the mystery of the disappearance of Dog Man.  They have planned and drafted their comic strips and are looking forward to creating a class book with all their stories. In Maths, they have begun looking at fractions and have solved problems involving equivalent fractions and fractions on a number line.  In Science, they are exploring organisms and living things.
