Term Five Week 2

We have had a successful week two in school showing great attitudes towards our learning in all aspects of the curriculum.

As writers, Y5 and Y6 practised their fluent, neat and joined-up handwriting this week; they took pride in their work and were really focussed on doing their absolute best.

As mathematicians, Y5 children enjoyed the challenge of sorting regular and irregular polygons according to their properties: whether or not they have right angles and parallel lines. They worked collaboratively in triads and pairs which enabled great maths talk and reasoning as to their decision-making.

As musicians, we began listening to and learning an Arabic song from the Middle East – it had great rhythm and we showed how we could to call and response techniques in performing it.

It is always wonderful to celebrate children’s achievements from out of school as well as in school and Lily-Rose shared with us her marvellous painting she created on canvas over the Easter holidays – we were wowed by her colour-blending techniques!
