Homework, by Miss Reynolds
Date: 5th Oct 2017 @ 8:09am
This week in English homework, we've got a practice sheet on modal verbs that we have working on in class. In Maths, the homework is a photocopy, so I have uploaded it here, just in case you are not sure whether you have it or not... but it is pretty terrible quality, so if you lose it just let me know and I'll photocopy you a new one. 
The spicy challenge is also here - remember if you do the spicy challenge and find it is too hard, you don't have to finish it and you certainly shouldn't be stressing about it!

Shadows, by Mrs Catterall
Date: 1st Oct 2017 @ 9:15pm
We still haven't managed to get the sunshine for our work on shadows outside, however this hasn't stopped us exploring them in the classroom.
How can I use 1 object but make my shadow larger and smaller?
We used screens and torches to create shadows and see how we could change their size. Our conclusion, the closer the object the light source the bigger the shadow.

Hello all,
i I hope that you are enjoying the weekend. Just a quick thought that projects are due on Friday. The theme is superheroes. Information was sent in a parent mail but I know some parents haven't had all their parent mails or could have missed it as there is always lots to read! If you would like any help or have questions, please let me know. It can be as big/small as you wish! I am out of class on Monday but will be on the walking bus and available to speak to on Tuesday. There is no specific expectation or criteria.
Enjoy your weekends.
Many thanks,
Miss Adamson

Homework, by Miss Reynolds
Date: 27th Sep 2017 @ 5:30pm
Maths homework this week is much easier - don't fret! I know a lot of people struggled with it last week, we will be working our way through them over the term and refining our skills with word problems in particular. Please do not stress about homework that you find tricky - if it is way too hard, leave it and let me know on the Monday and I'll find you something that will challenge you. I'll never be mad at you for not understanding something! Promise! Just try your best and if it is too easy - have a go at the spicy challenge!
This week the spicy challenge document has a few sheets to choose from - they are all pretty much the same level, so just pick one. (PLEASE DON'T DO ALL OF THEM - GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY!!!)
Also, for those that are keen to knock Jack J off the high score position - here's the link to the maths decimal game!

Our Jigsaw lesson today was all about team work. In groups we had 3 carrots, a chopping board, knife, cocktail sticks and string. The challenge was to create a car. Listening to everyone's ideas and taking turns was the focus of the lesson. It was great fun.
