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!

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.

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!

This week’s spellings will be tested on Friday 08 February 2013.

Lions

This week’s spellings are adding ‘ing’ to verbs. Because there is a short vowel sound, you need to double the consonant after it.

• running
• swimming
• skipping
• hopping
• stopping
• rubbing
• shopping
• dropping
• putting
• digging

Tigers/Zebras

This week we are learning to spell words with double consonants after the vowel.  The double consonant often mean the sound before is a ‘short’ sound (think of the difference between dinner and diner, supper and super, for example).

• better
• daddy
• dinner
• happy
• letter
• supper
• lolly
• button
• summer
• rabbit
