This week’s homework is practice makes perfect. It is due in on Wednesday 13 February.

I can add numbers.

Your child will have some calculations in their homework book that they have to complete.

The Year Six poets

Today, Year Six worked together to write a fantastic class poem about visiting a theme park and going on the rides. Here it is.

There’s no coming back… it’s time to go!

Standing in the queue…waiting…watching…wondering.

Will I survive The Ultimate?

Standing in the queue…terrified…trembling…traumatised.

Adrenaline pumping,

Heart thumping,

Sweating palms,

“Just keep calm!”

There’s no coming back… it’s time to go!

Climbing slowly like a multi-coloured snail.

With a creak and a bang,

A rattle and a clang.

The snail-ride slithered up the incline,

Inch by tiny inch.

Getting closer to the clouds,

Getting closer to the drop.

There’s no coming back… it’s time to
go!

We have lift off.

Then…

Hurtling, dropping,

Swishing swoshing.

Twisting, twirling,

Tummy, swirling.

Up and down and all around,

Plunging head first to the ground.

Yelling, screaming,

Awful feeling.

Screeching, squealing,

I think I’m dreaming.

Up and down and all around,

Plunging head first to the ground.

At the end of the ride…dizzy…delirious…dreadful.

I hardly survived The Ultimate!

At the end of the ride…woozy…weary…wobbly.

Sky spinning,

Tummy groaning.

Feeling ill,

Head is moaning.

I’m not coming back… it’s time to go.

(Thank goodness)

Marvellous marble runs

Year Six were challenged to build a structure that used triangles to make strong shapes.
They attempted to build marble runs that were strong, secure and safe.
They did a great job.

Yoga Bugs

Year Six were treated to a session from Yoga Bugs today and were taken on a ‘yoga story’ about our topic on theme parks.
I don’t think they realised how energetic yoga or story telling could be!

Space yoga adventure

Baby dinosaurs!

Our dinosaur eggs have hatched! Now… how do we look after baby dinosaurs?

This week, we look at words with the split vowel digraph o-e: two letters, split by a consonant, which make a ‘long oh‘ sound.

These words will be tested on Friday 08 February.

01 February 2013

The homework this week is to practise and prepare for our class assembly:

• the words to the songs (the children know the words already, so it’s a case of working on loud, clear singing)
• individual parts (practise projecting your voice!)

The performance will be on Thursday 07 February at 2.40pm

See you there!
