Independent Research Project
Yesterday, as part of our ‘Class Novel’ topic, we started our independent research projects.
Every child in Year 5 is completing a different project – wow! Some are making models, some are creating posters and some are making computer games! Each child is researching an aspect of life on the Home Front during WW2.
In our first session, we worked independently (and collaboratively at times) on our projects and made a fantastic start! Stay tuned to see how we get on.
School Saving Club
Does your child have a School Saving Club account in association with Leeds Credit Union?
If so, our next paying in date is this Thursday 13 October 3.15-3.45pm. If you can’t make this date, then the next one will be on Thursday 08 December at 3.15-3.45pm.
Children must be accompanied to the sessions.
If you can’t attend the date, you can bring money to the office in a sealed envelope marked School Saving Club for the attention of Miss Hale.
School Saving Club accounts can still be opened. Please ask at the office for an application form.
Children who are in Year 3 will have their account credited by Leeds City Council with £10 once opened.
Maths learning
This week the children have been learning to recognise, write and order numerals by finding missing numbers around school.
Science in Year 2
In a science lesson last week, we were learning about classification. Children had to classify leaves in different ways.
Creative Reading Homeworks
Year 2 are a class of book lovers. Here are some of our favourite reading homeworks from last week’s review.
Class assembly 12 October
We are enjoying our new big topic based on the Katie and… stories, with lots of English, Maths, Science, History and of course Art learning so far.
Ask your child to tell you about the Katie books we have read so far.
- Which is their favourite? Why?
- Who were the characters?
- What were the main events?
- What changes would they have made to the story?
We look forward to sharing the children’s learning at our class assembly this Wednesday. It’s at 2:40pm and we hope to see you then.
New triathlon satellite club
This new club has recently started on Mondays from 4pm-5.45pm at Middleton Park bike hub and is suitable for all abilities.
Bikes are available if needed and the fun sessions will focus on improving running and cycling.
We love to read!
Whether it’s a novel, comic, newspaper, dictionary, thesaurus or an information book, Year 4 love to read.
Reading for pleasure and enjoyment is so very important and these photos show us doing just that.
More gymnastics
Today, the children continued with their gymnastics. We have been learning various types of balances and rolls.
I set them a task today to create a short sequence of movements with a partner. They had to think about previous learning and try to incorporate a hoop into their routines. There were some great ideas, super team work and even some demonstrations.
Looking at our homework
Written by Natalia, Y6:
This week’s homework was to write ten sentences about our trip to Eden Camp. We all looked at each others’ and marked them. I swapped with Mia, Ava and Sarah. When we were marking them, we chose our three favourite sentences – they were amazing. We always write a star and a step which helps tell us what we are doing well and what we are doing not so well.
This is my favourite one that Mia wrote: “Quickly, scared but exited, we rushed through the Blitz a number of times.”
