Week Six

This week started on a musical note as we had our very first ukulele lesson with our instructor, Ella. On Thursday, we were making sculptures inspired by Alberto Giacometti with Mrs H. We finished the week creating greeting cards for the Christmas break. Yes, it does seem a long way off but if we finish them soon, then they should be back from the printers in time for December.

We enjoyed playing games such Four Square and Capture the Flag in PE- Reggie

I really liked how we have PE two days in a row now- Ezra

I enjoyed ukulele lesson with Ella and learning how to play 'We Will Rock You'- Oscar

It was fun making sculptures out of tin foil, which were based on Giacometti's art - Bill 

Week 6: October? Already?!?

We can't believe we've been back for just over a month already! As part of our work towards developing a Growth Mindset, Friday afternoons are set aside for a team challenge activities. This week we had to work in groups threes to get a hula hoop over a chair by balancing it on two fingers.

Week Five

We enjoyed choosing words to add to our 'Role on Wall' display- Reggie

We chose Ezra as our school council member- Glory

We won the class attendance award for the week- Rosie

Week Four

Week three has been a very busy one. We have used our place value knowledge to round numbers, investigated the feelings of the character Auggie in our class book and elected our member of the school council. 

Week Three

This week, we asked Cherry class to become their very own chefs. The children brought in their ingredients for toppings and made their own pizzas in class. 

The result were delicious as we're sure you can tell.

Welcome back!

It has been great to meet the children in Year 5 and we are all looking forward to an exciting year together. The children have settled into their new classrooms and routines really well and we are already feeling proud of how much they are growing in confidence every day.

Recovery Curriculum 

For the first three weeks we will be concentrating on our ‘recovery curriculum’ which includes PSHE and Wellbeing lessons as well as opportunities to engage with mindfulness and learn about developing a growth mind set.
