We are studying life cycles linked to our Creation topic. The children have learned about the life cycle of flowering plants. We used seeds from our school grounds to investigate and they worked hard to identify the seeds and find their scientific names. We also used the seeds to create classification keys – a very important scientific skill.
We have learnt how to be Stewards of Creation. The children were encouraged to use drama and poetry to demonstrate how we should care for our world. They showed excellent drama and speaking skills.
The children had their first day in their new class.They enjoyed meeting their teachers and familarising themselves with their new environments. School life rapidly returned to normal with exciting lessons, stories and circle time. On 4th December Year 5 participated in the London Chess Classic at Olympia. The class have been learning chess, with their tutor Mr Costello, since September and have made amazing progress. T he day at Olympia was great fun and the children enjoyed meeting Grandmasters and learning some new tactics. In the afternoon they played Chess against other schools from London and were very successful, winning four bronze medals and three silver ones – the best result we have ever had! Well done Year 5! During the assembly Year 5 performed a recital of the poem they have been learning in class – The Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll.
Years 3, 4, 5 & 6 were involved in a two-day Computer Science workshop ‘Conducting Music’ run by Thames Music. Using a Micro:bit and LED’s pupils coded to make music.
Some pupils in Year 6 quoted:
Year 5 have been studying The Great War as their topic this term. We were very lucky to receive a visit from Corporal Ben Ravel from the Royal Fusiliers – just on leave from the trenches of France!
Corporal Ben came to tell the children all about his experiences at the front. We would like to thank Mr Woodcock for arranging this visit for us. |
