Our celebration video from last term’s Expedition!

We are so proud of you 5/6 for not only producing awesome work last term during challenging times when some of you were working from home and adapting to online lessons but also for the amazing fundraising you all contributed to for Markham Main mining memorial. You are all amazing and I hope you enjoy this video capturing a truly awesome Expedition!

Hook week in 5W

5W have been thoroughly ‘hooked in’ to out new expedition: The Magic of Motion. Our week has consisted of an immersion day, (where all the children helped to decorate our classrooms and corridors) an Art and a Science day all linked to our Harry Potter theme. Have a nosey through our pictures and see what we got up to!

The making of the Hogwarts Express!
Floating candles.
Hogwarts Castle using watercolour paints.

We are taking a trip to Hogwarts…

Just a reminder that this Friday is our Harry Potter dress up day. We will be swapping our maths and literacy lessons and instead, we will be participating in lessons only wizards and witches engage in- defence against the dark arts, quidditch, potions, behind the magic and transfiguration. The children will each have the opportunity to be sorted into a house by the sorting hat before the day at Hogwarts begins. This is going to be such an exciting day and we can’t wait to capture all of the exciting things we get up to and we will of course share them on our blogs!
I wonder what our guiding question is going to be?

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter break and I can’t wait to see you all next term for our final expedition of the year. It’s going to be amazing! Stay safe everyone!

Eggcellant creations!

Well done to those children who have entered the egg decorating competition so far in 5/6. I am absolutely loving your creations! Although I haven’t seen a Pug entry yet- I’m hoping I see one tomorrow! You still have until tomorrow to enter to be in with a chance to win a range of Easter eggs!

This week in 5W

We have been working super hard this week to create our final product for our Expedition. The children have been working collaboratively all week to create 3 poems that perfectly represent our learning from our 3 Case studies. The results have been amazing and I am so proud of their use of figurative language! Well done 5W!
We have also held a ‘design an egg’ competition for Easter. The deadline for this is Friday and winners will be announced in due course. Have a look at what some of the children created!

Accelerated Reader League

Well done to Crew Blackham for passing the most quizzes for the 2nd week running. A shout out goes to Crew Chapman for coming a very close second. However, I’m most impressed with Crew Topliss this week – they must have been reading lots and quizzing because they have managed to get into third place.

Awesome reading KS2! Keep going and remember every time you pass a quiz about the book you’ve just read, you will be in with a chance of winning a box of Dunkin Doughnuts. Remember, you have to read to win it!
