Calling all year 5/6 children… do you want to be in with a chance to win a £25 voucher to spend at Intake fish and chips… to treat your family to a chippy tea? Well listen up! From Monday, you will each be given a reading record and every time you read to an adult at home and they sign it, you will get a ticket into the draw. The winner will be selected on Thursday 14th October!

If you are struggling to read at home, you can opt to read to me at break times and I can sign this for you.
Let’s get reading!

Reading rivers!

7th September 2021Miss Blackham

In crew Topliss today we created our own reading rivers. We discussed just how much we read on a daily basis without even realising! We are always reading! When we saw just how much we had written down, we couldn’t believe it! We then made pledges to improve our accelerated reader scores to help us become even better at reading! I can’t wait to check in with your pledges later this week Crew Topliss!

Fantastic fact splats!

6th September 2021Miss Blackham

I have loved teaching 6H this afternoon. What a fantastic start to our English cycle! We were hooked in by watching Pandora and we quickly realised the information we were noting down were in fact ,fact splats. We then had a silent discussion to add to the fact splats before sharing our favourite ones with a cold call. The facts will now
be used to support our non chronological reports.

A shout out to Lola and Demi for being the fact splats winners!

Harry Potter dress up day Friday 3rd September- Year 5

1st September 2021Miss Blackham

Just a reminder that Year 5’s Harry Potter dress up day is Friday 3rd September. Costumes can be as creative as you like. If you are struggling for ideas, black/grey trousers and a white shirt would be great and we will make Hogwarts ties in school. Or you can come in house colours: red, yellow, green or blue. Please don’t worry if you don’t have anything, we will dedicate the first part of the morning to making props so all children are included.
