Year 4 worked really hard to perfect their cricket bowling skills. They practised in 2s and then moved onto small group games. They found it a challenge to not bend their arm at the elbow and to aim accurately but this was only their first lesson. Well done Year 4. 

Media cubs visited Year 3 today.

Media cubs is a Greater Manchester based pop up TV studio and newsroom. They've teamed up with The Happy Newspaper to give children the chance to have their own say on the news and learn new media skills.

Children discussed newspapers and interesting article, they worked cooperatively and shared ideas. They discussed roles such as presenters, directors, camera person and actors and took part in these roles within the classroom. A very enjoyable afternoon learning new information about Media. 

Future TV stars⭐️ 

Year 4 made me very proud today with their official multiplication test. They have put in so much effort practising for this test throughout the year. They were extremely nervous but performed outstandingly. The results will be out soon and shared on their end of school report. Well done Year 4. 

Here is our medium term plan for this half term plus the home learning grid for anyone wanting to do some additional home learning (this is entirely optional).

We will be reading the Three Little Pigs and learning all about life on a farm.

I hope you have all enjoyed the break! Welcome back to our last Half Term in Year 5 - Summer Term 2.  Our final topic is "What makes South America a Continent of contrasts?  Reading the text “Trash” will highlight the plight of street children and provide a valid contrast to the developed countries of South America.  Alongside this, we will watch a children’s TV documentary, which shows a realistic view of young children in Brazil.

During Summer 1, Year 3 are going to be learning all about Greece and Greek food. As part of history they'll learn about Ancient Greeks including the Olympics and how important the Gods were.

Which Gods were important?Which Ancient Greek sports are still around in today's Olympics?

Year 3 see if you can make a museum piece for homework, we look forward to see everyone's home learning.

 I do hope you've all had a fabulous Whit holiday, and the children are raring for our final term in Year 4. This half term starts off with our Multiplication tests. These will take place on Tuesday 11th June, so get those last few days of practise in. Our topic this half term is the Egyptians. The children will be inspired by our creative history topic and will step back in time during English writing. This learning will be enhanced by our DT project of making a shaduf. It might be our last half term but it's packed full of fascinating activities to stimulate the mind.

This half term, our topic is called 'Tremendous Toys: Have you got this toy at home?' and focuses on how toys have changed since our grandparents were little to the current toys today. Pupils will get to play with a variety of old toys and will use their DT skills to create their very own moving toy. For more information about what we will be covering this half term, please see the MTP topic web below. 

Year 1 loved their sponsored walk to Gorse Hall. Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who came on the walk with us and to everyone that sponsored us. Also a big thank you to Mia who showed excellent leadership skills by showing us around the park and telling us about the local history.
