Wow! This week seems to have been a really busy one and we've had some very hardworking children.
First of all, did you hear that we won the attendance award this week? Well done to all the children who helped us by coming to school every day. Let's aim for another star next week.
Our week started out with a penalty shoot out with Mansfield Town. The children had lots of fun. Here are a few action shots to remind you that sponsor money is due in next week.
On Tuesday we had our last drumming lesson before the concert next week. Spread the word that everyone is invited to watch our skills on Tuesday at 11:20am.
We learnt some French greetings earlier in the week. The children enjoyed this so much that they asked if they could have a go at home too. Follow this link to find a game where the children can listen to some French greetings and try to match them to the English words.
You might have seen us in the playground on Thursday completing a science investigation. We studied the length and direction of shadows throughout the day and how the sun appeared to move through the sky. We have written up our findings today and drawn a graph to show the pattern we noticed. We'll continue learning about this next week. Please return any moon diaries that the children have been filling in so that we can look at these too.
Today we have enjoyed Number Day by using lots of maths skills to take part in "Who Wants to be a Mathionaire?" Thanks for the donations that were sent in which will go to the NSPCC. Homework this week focusses on area of rectangles. Children need to remember the formula - length x width - to help them answer the questions. Next week we'll move on to our next unit which is all about multiplication and division. I hope everyone gets on TTRS to polish their times tables knowledge.
Well done to this week's super spellers: Corey, Caleb, Riley, Finlee, Demi-Jo, Archie, Alfie, Kira, Krzysztof, Ryan and Bray all scored full marks. Next week's spellings are a tricky set! They are challenge words which all Year 5children have to work on and should be using in their writing. Again, there is no rule and they are words that we just need to practice, practice, practice. They are all on Spelling Shed to help.
And all week we have been writing, writing, writing! Our classroom has been full of monsters but luckily they have all been defeated! We have one more defeating the monster story to write on Monday and I'm really looking forward to reading what the children write. I have not been disappointed this week - let's hope Monday's writing brings a smile to my face too! We even plan to make a book of our best stories. Missy was the star of the week for her shared write earlier in the week, with special mentions for Amber, Bray and Finlee.
