Week 2
What a great week we have had in 5/6C as the children have got back into the swing of school after the summer break! Finishing with the sun shining (albeit wearing a few more layers) has been a fantastic end to the week.
English - We have started our new text, Night of the Gargoyles, which the children have really enjoyed. The text is a poem all about gargoyles coming to life at night. The children have performed freeze frames impersonating gargoyles, have thought of a range of words to describe the gargoyles appearance and movement. We finished with working on expanded noun phrases.
Maths - This week we started with our maths sets with children from 5/6C either being taught by myself and Mrs Young, Mrs Williams and Mrs Crow and Mrs Wellicome (ready for secondary school with that number of teachers). The children that worked with me were looking at place value of numbers up to 100,000. The children have been enthusiastic with their learning and worked particularly hard on the reasoning questions.
Afternoon subjects - It has been busy in the afternoons. In science we started our topic on Earth & Space with the children considering what existing knowledge they had. In history we looked at timelines and chronological order and looked specifically at our area of study, The Iron Age. In computing we have begun to look at online safety. In RSE and RE the children also began their now areas of learning.
Star of the Week - This week our star is Miriam who was chosen for imagining some brilliant questions that gargoyles may ask humans.
