Year 2 Summer 2 week 6
This Week in Class
What a wonderful and hot week we have had in year 2!
English
In English, the children worked hard to write their own setting descriptions. They used exciting vocabulary and descriptive language to help bring their settings to life for the reader. We were very impressed with their creativity and the effort they put into making their writing engaging and detailed.
Maths
In Maths, we continued our consolidation work, revisiting key concepts and practising skills that we have learned throughout the year. The children showed great determination and confidence as they applied their knowledge to a range of different activities.
Meet the Teacher
One of the highlights of the week was our Meet the Teacher morning. The children spent time with their new teachers and had the opportunity to explore their new classrooms, take part in activities and begin to build relationships with the adults who will be supporting them next year. It was lovely to see their excitement and enthusiasm as they prepared for the next stage of their learning journey.
A Hot Week
The weather remained incredibly hot this week, and we were so proud of how resilient the children were. Despite the high temperatures, they continued to work hard, stay positive and make the most of every learning opportunity. They showed great maturity by following our routines for keeping cool and hydrated throughout the day.
Well done to everyone for another fantastic week! We hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Rainbow Room Summer 2 Week 6
There has been a lot of water play this week to keep everyone cool in this scorching summer sun!
It was fantastic to see so many of you at our sports day and shared learning on Monday. The pupils loved having you here so they could show off their skills. Thank you for all the support.
To support the pupil's sensory needs we have reduced the pressure but they have still achieved lots of wonderful work. The core word was 'open' and we enjoyed some songs and used snack and lunch time to support the comprehension.
Phonics songs have been another hit this week and the pupils have been making lots of sounds alongside the music.
The pupils have continued their independence when completing their maths activities around 10 green bottles. I am very proud of how quickly they picked this up and developed their skills.
Sensory play has been very popular and it has been a joy to see the children develop their social skills alongside their peers. The most popular activity this week was the herbs in water. The pupils were collecting, swishing, piling up leaves, smelling, tasting and splashing.
Reminder
Parents consultations on Monday afternoon. Children to attend school as normal.
Year 1 Summer 2 Week 5
Year 1 have had an incredible week!
Maths:
We have started our topic on 'place values' and have counted in 10s and partitioned. We have also used many activities to enhance our learning through provision.
English:
In English, we have started our new book 'Snail and the Whale'. We have been identifying features of postcards such as the greeting, sign off, short message, location, address, etc. and how to write them. We have looked at various scenes from the story which we have thought of many adjectives for nouns. We have planned our own postcards which we will finish writing and publishing next week.
Science:
In science, we have looked at the Summer season topic which we have explored the affects of sunlight and compared it to shade and how this changes things. Our investigation was to use UV beads and see how the sun and shade both change the colour of the beads.
Bradyfest:
Children have ended their week with a fun full day of Bradyfest. We enjoyed activities such as the bouncy castle, soak the teachers, games, tattoos and etc. We also cooled down with some icelollies. Thank you FOB.
As it gets warmer, please remember to send children with a hat, water bottle and apply sunscreen. Thank you!
Year 4 Summer 2 Week 5
It has been a fantastic week in Year 4 with lots of exciting learning and opportunities to celebrate together.
English
This week, we have begun our new writing unit by researching Tutankhamun. The children have used a range of sources to gather interesting facts, which they have used to write an informative biography all about the famous pharaoh. They have shown excellent research skills and have enjoyed finding out more about Ancient Egypt. Next week, we will start writing a balanced argument.
Shared reading
In Shared Reading, we finished our class novel, Secrets of a Sun King. The children thoroughly enjoyed following Lil’s adventure through Ancient Egypt and completed thoughtful book reviews, reflecting on their favourite characters, events and what they learned throughout the story.
Maths
In Maths, we have continued to consolidate our learning by revisiting a range of word problems and money problems. The children have been applying the strategies they have learned throughout the year to solve increasingly challenging questions with confidence and resilience.
Shared learning and Brady Fest
This week, we were delighted to welcome parents into school for our Shared Learning session. As part of our Design and Technology learning about wheels, axles and machinery, the children worked alongside their families to design and make their own vehicles. It was wonderful to see everyone working together so creatively, and we would like to say a huge thank you to all the parents who took the time to join us.
We were also incredibly proud of 4S, who performed their class assembly to parents this week. The children thoroughly enjoyed sharing their learning and performed with confidence, enthusiasm and excellent behaviour. They represented Year 4 brilliantly and we couldn’t be prouder of them.
To finish the week, the children had a fantastic time at Brady Fest, enjoying the bouncy castles and exploring the different activities. It was a wonderful opportunity for everyone to celebrate together and have fun with their friends.
Thank you for your continued support. We hope you all have a lovely weekend!
Year 5 Week 6
Well done, Year 5, for another amazing week of learning.
This week in English, we continued our Performance Poetry unit. The children explored a range of poetic features and discussed how these can be used to engage an audience during a performance. They also had the opportunity to perform poems themselves, showing great enthusiasm, confidence and creativity throughout.
In Maths, we completed our unit on volume. The children have become increasingly confident in finding the volume of different shapes, particularly when using cubes to support their understanding. Although estimating volume and capacity proved challenging at times, they demonstrated resilience and worked hard to develop their skills.
In Reading, we have continued enjoying Treason. This week, the children took part in fantastic discussions about the text, focusing on making predictions about what might happen next and answering retrieval questions using evidence from the book. They are very much looking forward to finishing the story next week.
In Science, we continued our Curiously Close topic. This week, the children discussed and planned their own magnifying devices. They carefully labelled their diagrams and made predictions about how effective their designs would be. It was wonderful to see their creativity and scientific thinking in action.
A huge well done to Year 5PS for their fantastic class assembly on Monday. The dedication, effort and enthusiasm that went into the performance made us all incredibly proud. Well done also to all of Year 5 for an excellent Shared Learning Session. The children worked hard on designing and building bridges, and it was wonderful to see how effective their structures were. Thank you to all the families who were able to attend and support the children.
Please remember to read at least five times each week and continue practising on Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS).
A reminder that there will be no swimming next week. Children will take part in their usual PE lesson instead.
Have a lovely weekend! 😊
Reception Summer 2 Week 6
Well done for a great week everyone!
This week in Maths, we have been consolidating our learning of number bonds to 10. The pupils took part in a range of practical and written activites to help strengthen their understanding and recall. They have loved the activities and are becoming increasingly confident in recalling their number bonds to 10. We also completed our end of year Maths assessment, and the pupils have worked incredibly hard and did an amazing job. We are so proud of them!
In Topic, we talked about the places that are special to use and discussed the reasons why they are special. We enjoyed reading Knuffle Bunny and explored the places that were important to Trixie in the story before sharing our own.
We have been practising our handwriting this week and were very excited to write some sentences in our new Year 1 books ready for next year!
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
Monday 20th July - Last day of term, 1:15pm finish.
Year 4 Summer 2 Week 6
Well done Year 4 for another great week! The children got to meet their new teacher this week which they all enjoyed and found very exciting. They did lots of fun activities with their Year 5 teacher!
In English this week, we have been looking at features of balanced arguments in preparation to write our own. We have recapped our learning on present perfect tense as well as possibility verbs. We have planned our balanced argument all about whether schools should only serve locally produced food and how this might affect the environment. Next week, we will write our balanced argument. In Maths, we have been continuing to recap our learning across Year 4.
In Shared Reading, we have read a poem together called 'The Raven'. The children worked hard to draw a picture using their inference skills and they also answered questions based on the poem.
In Science, we have learned about food waste and the children made a fantastic poster all about how to prevent food waste and reasons why it is bad. We also finished off our learning about vehicles in D.T and they have a good understanding of how simple machines work.
Please remember to bring in plastic bags next week as we will start to send books home from Wednesday onwards. Thank you!
Have a lovely weekend!
Year 3 Summer Week 6
Year 3 have had another brilliant (and very warm!) week, and we’re so proud of how hard everyone has worked.
In maths, we have have been recapping how to multiply and divide 2‑digit numbers by 1‑digit numbers, as well as practising how to find the perimeter of different shapes.
In English, we've been busy drafting our letters to our new teachers and are now ready to write our final neat versions next week!
Science brought an exciting end to our compost box investigation - all the food had decomposed, leaving only natural materials like sand and bark behind.
In History, we wrapped up our Roman Empire topic by learning why the Romans left Britannia and writing letters to Emperor Honorius to thank them for what they brought to our country.
In art this afternoon, Year 3 enjoyed creating their own mosaic pictures after exploring lots of different mosaic styles for the past few weeks!
Please remember to bring in plastic bags next week as we will start to send books home from Wednesday onwards. Thank you!
Have a wonderful weekend!
