Hi,
A busy week completing and publishing our descriptive setting writing. The children are becoming more proficient in their descriptions and have worked hard to use additional information to paint a picture in the reader's mind.
Mr Smith came into school on Wednesday and the class continued with their science topic of forces by investigating friction. They looked at how different surfaces can affect the speed of movement. The investigation will be completed next week when the results are analysed and written up.
Lots of bottles and gifts arrived for the Christmas Fayre - thank you to everyone who donated.
Have fun if you are coming to the fayre tomorrow.

Hi everyone,
Our week started with a fantastic array of odd socks to celebrate what makes us all unique as part of Anti-Bullying Week.
Lots of great descriptive writing has been taking place as the children wrote a setting description of a Victorian Street. Once again, they have been using an amazing range of vocabulary that they have learned from reading Street Child and their other topic based work.
The week ended with everyone dressed in their own clothes with a contribution made to Children in Need.
Have a lovely, long weekend!
See you on Monday
Mrs Trotter

Hi,
Preparations for the Christmas production began this week with the first singing practice of the production songs. It was lovely to sing in a bigger group again and the Year 6 choir are looking forward to singing to parents as part of the Key Stage Two performance of The Snow Queen.
Everyone completed their reports on Victorian workhouses. I have been particularly impressed with the range of vocabulary used and that words we have discussed in class have been used appropriately in the reports.
Fractions remains the focus in my maths group. Once again, the children have shown real resilience and increased accuracy in their calculations and problems solving and are skilful in assisting each other if they find aspects of the work more difficult.
Enjoy the weekend.
Mrs Trotter
