This Week In School…
Year 3 – had a fantastic visit to Cuffley camp on Monday. They braved the climbing wall, supported each other on the low ropes course and made fantastic shelters! In English, they have used the knowledge of shelter making to help them create instructions for how to build a Stone Age den, with a focus on including imperative verbs. This week in Maths, they have continued to learn about fractions, looking at fractions on scales and on number lines. Year 3 have begun their next DT project and have been busy designing and begun to make their 'moving monsters' using pneumatics to control their moving parts. It has certainly been a busy but brilliant week! Year 4 – had an exciting day at Cuffley Camp on Tuesday where they climbed, used ropes and built shelters. In Maths, they have continued to learn about fractions and equivalent fraction families. In English, they have started writing a newspaper report about the vanishing cats in Varjak Paw. In History, the children have learnt about different Roman Gods, written some interesting facts about them and designed a shield for their own Roman God! Year 5 – have engaged in many activities: fire-building, archery and gladiator (obstacle frame) were really fun! It was truly a unique experience! Children have also taken the opportunity to consolidate their knowledge of percentages, decimals and fractions in Maths. In English, they finished publishing the narrative that they worked so hard on in the past week and worked really hard on their presentation and their handwriting. The children also explored more about the planets in Science and learnt all about the decline of the Mayans. It was a fun and exciting week in Year 5! Year 6 – have started a new writing task in English - they are preparing to write a non-chronological report about owls. The inspiration for this comes from the class book they are reading (Skellig) in which two of the characters have an encounter with some owls. So far, the children have done some research about owls and have planned their reports, ready to get down to writing them next week. In Maths the children have been working with decimals and will be moving on to area, perimeter and volume next week. They have started a new topic in Humanities which is their first history topic this year - Tudors and Monarchs. They had a great day out at Cuffley Camp on Thursday and we were very impressed by the skills they showed in archery and axe throwing; and with the perseverance and resilience many of the children showed on the Gladiator climb!
