​This Week In School…
Year 3 – have been busy finishing writing their diary entry about the Iron Man in English. They have used lots of description and used their feelings and thoughts to empathise with a character.  In Maths, they have worked hard to solve division problems using the short formal method, while in Science this week, they have been investigating forces. The children carried out an air resistance experiment using parachutes which they made in class. All the children really enjoyed their 'No Pen Day' and were able to use their fantastic orienteering skills to solve Math problems.
Year 4 – have finished writing and publishing a letter to President Biden, asking him to ban animals from being used in circuses as a result of the high number of circus animals being harmed and mistreated. They have written letters that are full of emotive language and facts as they try to persuade the American leader to make a change. In Maths, they have started their multiplication and division topics but multiplying and dividing numbers by 10 and 100. On No Pens Day, they used their new skills to play a game of maths 4 in a row and completed a dominos circle by matching dominos with dividing by 10 question and answers. Both classes also enjoyed making a musical instrument out of recycled goods as part of their science lessons. They made guitars, drums and even a few maracas!
Year 5 – have been very busy! In Maths, they have been learning about equivalent fractions and fractions greater than 1. They have continued writing and editing their narratives based on the 'The Cyclops' chapter of our Odysseus book.  Year 5 have tried really hard to include similes and metaphors to help to make the writing more interesting for a reader. They will be publishing the work next week. Everyone particularly enjoyed No Pen Day on Wednesday.  Lots of children were amazed that everyone could learn so much without writing anything down!  They enjoyed Maths relay, counting in multiples games and talking tasks in English.  A thoroughly good day was enjoyed by all!
Year 6 – have started a new piece of writing in English - a diary entry, written in character (based on the main character in the book, 'Skellig').  They have looked at different diaries and identified the features in order to include them in their own writing.  In Maths, they have continued learning about fractions and this week, have looked at comparing and ordering fractions and adding them.  Last week in Science the children set up an investigation to see what conditions mould needs to grow so this week they have been observing their slices of bread in various conditions to see if there is any mould growth yet (there is some very interesting colourful mould on some of the slices!)  Whilst Year 6 wait for the mould to grow so the children can conclude the investigation, they have continued with their Humanities topic of Brazil where the children have been doing some research into the physical geography of the country.  They had an enjoyable 'No Pen Day', where they did some storytelling in English; and in Maths they played a variety of games or worked together to discuss and solve maths puzzles.
