This week we loved learning more about our Indian artist... Gogi Saroj Pal! We used her techniques to help us understand primary and secondary colours in art and applied this to create different tones and shades of colours to begin our final piece of art for our class gallery.
We also loved exploring the character of the Tiger Child and wrote some amazing descriptive sentences to describe him. We look forward to exploring the setting of the story next week! 
Manners, courtesy and respect in Year 5.
Date: 24th Sep 2021 @ 5:50am
In PSHE sessions, Year 5 we have been exploring the importance of manners, courtesy and respect. To begin with, we looked at what each of these meant. We also used role play, small group and peer discussions to look at a range of different scenarios in which we would need to use our manners or show respect towards others. It was amazing to hear how positively many of our children would respond in different situations.
Later on, our focus shifted towards looking at what would make a good leader. The child came up with an array of characteristic and because great minds think alike, there were many points that every group of children came up with such as being a positive role model, a good listener, being fair, being democratic, and showing respect and much more.
Throughout the rest of the term, Year 5 will be setting themselves personal goals to ensure that they use their manners, courtesy and respect. We also look forwards to seeing the children conduct themselves as good leaders.

We then developed our our seasons wheels where we drew what you would see during those seasons. Why not ask us the names of the four seasons?
We then used our artistic skills to create collages of the Indian landscapes and made our own maps of India including the Ganges River, Thar Desert, Himalayas and New Delhi.

We then went on to make our own compasses using a magnet and a paper clip. We used these on a map of the UK to describe where cities and towns are on the map. Such an exciting afternoon!

This week in Class 3, we have had so much fun reading the book 'You Choose.'
The children have been using their imaginations to think about what kind of house they would like to live in, what they would put inside and what kind of things they would like to eat.
We made super setting boxes describing all of our amazing ideas using lots of super adjectives that really impressed our teachers!
In Science this week we have carried on looking at our topic ' Our bodies.' The children were exploring the sense of 'hearing' and got to use their creative skills to create their own plastic cup telephones. Take a look at some of our creations below.

Y5 have started their topic on Tudors and have learnt about the Battle of Bosworth and how Henry VII became King.
This week, the children have been busy developing their artistic skills in art while drawing their own portraits of Tudor Monarchs. To begin with, they sketched an outline of the king or queen and then added more fine details. Finally, to add more depth, they shaded their drawings using colour pencils. The finished pieces are fantastic and the children had paid a great deal of attention to detail. Y5 are very proud their work and so are we.

We have had a fantastic week in Reception finding out all about what makes us INCREDIBLE! Our book this week was Incredible You and to start the week we shared our ideas about what animal we would like to be - we had lots of roaring lions and tigers! Later in the week we thought about why we are incredible then went on to say why other people in the class were incredible and to pay them compliments. The children were very kind and supportive of each others feelings and had lots of nice things to say.
Next week we will be reading Little Red Riding Hood and baking some cakes for Grandma.
In Maths we have been doing lots of counting, singing number songs and have become familiar with the classroom visual time table which shows what order things happen in the classroom.
Class 14's learning of the week...

This week we have had an incredibly busy week of learning. The children started off their literacy work reading Rose Blanche - This was a fantastic opportunity for children to learn more about WW2. The children wrote letters to the Prime Minister of Great Britain from the perspective of a child imprisoned in Auschwitz at that time - The quality and empathy displayed has been overwhelming.
In maths this week, we have further consolidated our long multiplication and long division learning and are now beginning to show a lot of confidence in that area.
We have had a great week, have a lovely weekend,

Y5 have had a wonderful start to the year. They have settled in well and displayed maturity and enthusiasm for learning.
In literacy, Class 11 have been reading ‘The Secret Lake’ by Karen Inglis and Class 12 have been reading ‘The Wreck of the Zanzibar.’ by Michael Morpurgo. Both classes have thoroughly enjoyed reading the books. They have planned, written and edited great diary entries. They were a pleasure to read.
In Maths, Year 5 have started the term with place value. They have shown a good grasp of the value of different numbers and were able to read and write numbers up to a million. It was also great to see that many of our children have used their time well in the summer holidays and have been learning their tables.
Well done and keep it up Year 5!

This week Class 3 had their first full week in Year 1. We have been so impressed with how quickly the children have settled into their new classroom and how hard they have worked with their learning.
This week in Literacy we have been reading the story ' The lion who wanted to love.' We have had so much fun using drama to act out the story, as well as working hard to write some super sentences to describe the main character in the story Leo.
In maths we have been working on our place value knowledge, sorting and ordering numbers and objects into different groups.
We have also started our new science topic this week - 'Our bodies.' We worked carefully as a class to correctly label the different body parts, and really impressed our teachers with all that we knew.
We are so excited to continue our learning next week and to see the amazing learning that the children produce. Well done Class 3 for a super first week in school. We are so proud of you!
