P5/19 work hard throughout the week to ensure that they don’t lose Golden Time. Our activities this term include Lego,board games, table football and pool, Hama beads and music….. always a very popular choice!

A few photos of what we’ve been up to in the last couple of weeks. We have been investigating the water cycle and looking at how water can become polluted.We have found out how water can be made clean again, using filters or chemicals, and why clean water is important.

We created robots using photos of electrical appliances, just like the WEEE man!!

We have been designing birthday cards for each other, so that when someone has a birthday they can choose a card from the whole class, to take home.

This year we will be using an active spelling approach. Activities will include LCWC, or Look-Cover-Write-Check, Spellwell activities from the leaflet sent home last week and activities on the spellingcity.com website. Children can choose the method that suits them best, so for example may choose to do LCWC and 2 Spellwell activities in their homework jotter. At home, they can also be encouraged to write out their words on a whiteboard/blackboard or on scrap paper,even chalk their words onto the patio or driveway! 🙂  They can make posters and pictures using their words, make up wordsearches or crosswords using their words.(Wallpaper lining paper from DIY stores is a great source of cheap paper.) The aim is to get the children to engage with the spelling rules and spelling patterns in a fun and active way.

Have fun!
