Leavers Service - 17.7.23

I just wanted to say thank you to all those that were able to make Year 4's Leavers Service this morning.  It was so lovely to be able to celebrate these wonderful children and all their memories and accomplishments.  For those that were unable to make it here are some photos of our wonderful leavers receiving their bibles and autograph books.  They really have been a pleasure to teach this year and I will miss them hugely! 

Kind regards,

What a busy couple of weeks we've had.  This week I am asking you to complete a project relating to our science learning.  We have been learning about electricity and scientists that have made discoveries and helped electricity move on.  

Attached is a handout to guide you through a project showing how different elements of energy and storing energy work.  

If you don't have access to some or all of the resources please let me know and I will make sure you have everything you need! 

I will look forward to sharing what everyone has achieved next Tuesday (as on Monday you will all be at your Middle schools for Transfer Day) 

Enjoy,

We have had the most wonderful, fun filled day of activities. We’ve had the opportunity to do low ropes, rifle shooting, climbing and abseiling. We are so incredibly proud of all of them for going beyond what they thought they would and really challenging their own fears.  They have done you all so proud. Here a few snaps from the day! 
 

Enjoy 😊 

Day 2 

Good morning, 

We all have all done fantastically on night one. A few little wobbles but settled quickly and up now and ready for breakfast! 
 

We’ll update you on activities later.

Have a great day!

26.6.23 - We’ve arrived! 
 

Hi all,

We have arrived safely and in really good time and had a very full and fabulous first day! 
Coach journey was quick and straight forward and we settled into our rooms quickly! All very happy and enjoying residential life.

Our first day has included kayaking! As you will see from the photos to follow (Wi-Fi is very slow here) we did lots of rowing, games and had lots of challenges to complete. 
 

We’ve also had our first dinner which consisted of lasagne (veggie and beef) or katsu curry and they even have a salad bar, so we’ve definitely eaten well ☺️
 

This evening involves sports activities, learning lots of songs and chants and having some free time for games! 
 

Keep an eye out for our updates tomorrow!

Home Learning - 20.6.23

Pack your bags!

This week we would really like the children to pack their bags with you and take responsibility for ensuring that all the things they need are packed and ready for our residential trip on Wednesday.

Please could you go through the contents of the bags with your children so they are really clear on what they are bringing and why. See if they can lead checking this off against the kit list, you should have received this in an email but I have attached it above incase you've missed it. Could you ask them to find the name in every item of clothing, so they can ensure it all makes its way back to you! 

We are really excited about our residential and I will be sharing the 'hot of the press' itinerary with them tomorrow! Much to their delight! 

Enjoy your packing, 

Mrs McMullen

Home Learning - 6.6.23 

This week's home learning is music! The children will be singing a version of Oh Happy Day for their Sports Day song and their Leavers Service.

Please see the link above for the lyrics. The song is pretty straight forward, except for the 'rap' part. The children really need to know the lyrics for this part in order for it to flow well.

Please could I kindly ask you to learn these words with your children. I'm so sorry that I can't share the song due to copyright issues from Charanga - our music scheme. Learning the words however will be enough.

We will be practicing this song over the next few weeks and will be doing a class share of what we have learnt next Monday.  

Enjoy, 

Mrs McMullen

Tuesday 6th June is Class Photo day. Owls would normally have PE on this day. Please send your child into school in SCHOOL UNIFORM for the photos. Thank you. 

Home Learning 23.05.23

Firstly, a huge well done to all of you who have been stepping up the practice of your times tables.  I have noticed a huge improvement in both accuracy and the pace in which you can answer questions.  We have also started a new 'battle of the bands' on TTRS which is running until 5th June.  

As we are coming to another half term break, there will no be written home learning however, there is only one thing on our minds and that has to be Times Tables practice!

We will have practice sessions, using the same format as the real check which we started this week, but if there is anything you do at home too would be amazing!

The check has 25 questions, six seconds for each question, which will be randomly selected from all of the times tables up to 12.  

If you would like some more information from the DfE, click here.

To practice, use this link to take to the Times Tables site the children are familiar with. 

I would whole-heartedly recommend a good 15 to 20 minutes each time you do them to really sharpen up those multiplication skills and get them rooted in that long term memory.  

Many thanks and have a wonderful break.  

Mrs McMullen

Home learning - 20.9.22

This week we will be focusing on Geography for our home learning.  Open our Geography Knowledge Organiser and use the knowledge you have learned in Geography so far during Learning Block A.

The three questions for this week are:

Can you draw a diagram that shows all the features we have learned from our knowledge organiser about describing the positions of places in the world?

Lines of Latitude, Lines of Longitude, Equator, Prime Meridian, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn

Could you explain what 'scale' is when you use it on a map and give some different examples of why you would use small and large scale maps?

Can you create your own map using a scale of your local area? 

You can choose to answer one, two or all three questions! I look forward to seeing whatever you choose to complete in school next Monday.

Kind Regards, 

Mrs McMullen
