Happy New Year! - Week beginning 8th January , by Miss Reynolds
Date: 7th Jan 2018 @ 6:20pm
Hello everybody and Happy New Year! I hope you've had a really wonderful christmas break and are ready to attack Spring 1! I'll upload the curriculum overview for this half term in just a sec, but in a nutshell, our topic is 'Amazon Adeventures'. Please remember that projects will be due in on the first Parents evening - as it is not far away, it can be on something that we did last half term (Food, Glorious Food was our topic - we did lots on reversible and irreversible changes and made biscuits in D.T fr our enterprise), or you can do something on our new Topic!
This week will look like this:
English: Introduction to The Great Kapok
GPS: Revision
Maths: Geometry (angles)
Geography: Reasearch rainforests
Computing: Powerpoint presentations
PSHE: Jigsaw - dreams and goals - When I grow up
R.E: Hindu stories & festivals
French: Family
PE: Dance & Invasion Games Skills
If you have any artefacts/special skills/holiday pics etc. that would help us with our learning - please feel free to volunteer them! We would love to have some visitors to our class this year and learning always works best when it is contextualised!

Well the Christmas holidays are nearly behind us, I really hope that you have all had a lovely relaxing time with family and friends and I cant wait to see you all back in school with smiley faces and lots of lovely tales to tell.
Our new topic for Spring 1 - is Toy Story. Its a lovely topic and I have added the Spring 1 curriculum letter to our website for you to look at, I will be sending out next week as well.
Thw week ahead will see us finding out about our new toipic and what we might be learning. We will be thinking about the New Year, what it entails and what resolutions we will make!
We continue with PE and a focus of games - to support team building and working together.
We will be getting to grips with phonics and as we are so clever we are all moving onto phase 3. Dont forget to put reading books in bags so that we can read at school and change for new ones.
I cant wait to see you all tomorrow and lets hope that 2018 brings lots of luck and new adventures.

Hello all :)
Happy New Year! I hope that you have had a wonderful Christmas break!
Here is what we are doing next week:
|
Maths |
We are working on number and place value. Specifically, we are practising careful number formation, finding more and less and odd and even numbers. |
|
English |
Father Christmas gave us the story of Bumblebear. We are looking for words with -ed endings. |
|
Phonics |
We will save switching groups until after check-up week so Mrs Thomson's group will study alternative pronunciations for 'i' and 'o'. Mrs Coxhead's group will review ay, ou, ie and ea. |
|
PE |
We will be learning about dance. |
|
Jigsaw |
We are beginning our new unit called Dreams and Goals. We will set our own simple goals. If you have any little boxes from Christmas at home - e.g. empty Maltesers boxes - these would be handy this week. |
|
Bee Musical |
We will begin rehearsals for the Bee Musical. This will feature heavily over the coming weeks! |
I look forward to seeing you all on Monday!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL
I hope you have all had a fabulous Christmas and New Year and made lots of family memories. I'm looking forward to hearing all about it on Monday.
I have attached to the main class page a curriculum overview and letter for this half term.
One thing I have enjoyed doing as a family this holiday is sitting down together to plan 1 full family day of activities each month. These aren't necesarily activities that cost lots of money, the focus has been on something we all take part in together. Some of the things we have selected are a walk and picnic on the beach, a bike ride and ice cream, a day baking all sorts of cakes for members of the family, A day at the leisure centre swimming and playing badminton. I have attached a grid we completed, if this is something you might like to do yourselves please feel free to print it out.

I would just like to say thank you very much for all of the lovely Christmas cards and presents I have received. It is very kind of you all to think of me at this special time of year.
I have had an amazing first term worling in Years 6, 5 and 4. I have never worked in this capacity before and your children have made it one of the most rewarding periods in my teaching career.
At this special time of year I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and wish you well for 2018.

This week in Year 5 , we have skyped Silla (Miss Reynolds' Icelandic friend) and asked her some questions. Here are some examples:how do you say hello in Icelandic? ANSWER:hallo (it sounds German), Do you find it hot or cold in Iceland? ANSWER: Mostly cold, it was -8°C at 11:50am (when we skyped Silla). In Maths, we did some Christmas Questions like: Kerry Buys ten boxes of sixor 89p each,four boxes of six luxury mince pies for £2 eac and four boxes of free from mince pies for £1.75 each, what is the average cost of each mince pie to the nearest penny? We worked out the total cost of the mince pies and then we worked out how much mince pies Kerry has.
