This week Maple Class have tried to solve a murder (fictional of course). Their deductive skills have been put to the test as police officers and we have written formal reports to our superior.
Our Maths focus has been on area and perimeter whilst still practising our fluency at calculating percentages of amounts and calculating with fractions. Several of the class have now gone green on Times Tables Rock Stars. We did really well at competing with our fellow Foundry Hub schools last week and we need to keep the momentum going. Please encourage TTRS practice at home as we strive to become a 'green' class. In Computing, we have explored variables through games in Scratch. We have related them to real world examples of values that can be set and changed. In the science unit on heat, we are exploring how particles react to heat and then how heat transfer takes place and what makes a good conductor of heat. In French, we have been practising speaking the time for 15, 30 and 45 minutes past the hour - listening skills are definitely improving. Rosa Parks has been our History focus this week. Please ask your child to tell you all about what she did for Civil Rights in America. Excitingly, I have had the first batch of applications to be year 6 ambassadors and am happy to say that these will be awarded this week. Ambassadors need to prove that they have made good progress to date, hold down positions of responsibility within the school and act as role models for the younger children so not earned easily and something to be really proud of. We look forward to more applications.
