As requested by some of the pupils, I will now be writing up the homework onto the blog so you can keep updated with what is meant to be going on.
Literacy (Spelling) – Complete one spelling task with you spelling words. Please double check your work for errors (15 minutes)
IDL – Before we start our topic on World War Two (in two weeks), please conduct some research into World War One – specifically why the war ended. You can use the following website or any others of your choosing www.bbc.co.uk/schools/0/ww1/ (45 minutes)
Numeracy – Complete challenges on mangahigh (www.mangahigh.com) for at least 30 minutes. Some challenges are more difficult than others so don’t worry if you can only complete some of the challenges.
Literacy – Please continue to read your book for pleasure at home (30 minutes)
As we will be starting to read a class novel soon – Goodnight Mr Tom – please think about what you are currently reading and how much time per week you spend reading so we can make sure we are planning enough time to read the novel in class as well as for homework.
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Dring
P2M visited us this week so that we could learn a little bit about them before we start to teach them science next week. We are all really excited about sharing our knowledge and understanding about water with them!
We have been looking at Romeo and Juliet in Drama this term with Miss McCrimmon. We investigated the language used in the play. Then we chose either the first fight between the Montagues and Capulets or the party scene where Romeo and Juliet first met to recreate using dance and music. We chose music to accompany our performances. We filmed one of our rehearsals so we could try to improve. Have a look at some of our efforts in the videos below.
I have experienced the energy and excitement of presenting/performing for audiences and being part of an audience for other people’s presentations/performances. EXA 2-01a
Inspired by a range of stimuli, I can express my ideas, thoughts and feelings through creative

This term we have started to learn about tag rugby. We have been practising passing forward and then running back to support the player with the ball. We are looking forward to starting to play small group games using team tactics.
While working and learning with others, I improve my range of skills, demonstrate tactics and achieve identified goals. HWB 2-23a
Welcome back after the October Holidays!
I hope you are all rested up and ready for a new term.
This term our topic work will be focused around ‘The Aztecs’. In maths at the moment we are looking at properties of 2D shapes. Â The focus for our writing this term will be punctuation and grammar.
Some of the reading groups will be starting a ‘Book Club’ discussion group each week about the books they are reading.
