This week has been very memorable as we got to visit Dalham Hall Stud in Newmarket. This is where famous race horses have been and being bred. Everybody had a fantastic time and we were very thankful that we got to go and have this amazing experience. Below are some of the photos we took of our visit.

Friday 12^th May

English/topic- You should have a sheet with a choice of topic activities to complete. I would like to see you complete one by next Thursday.

PLEASE ASK IF YOU NEED A SPARE!

Maths- This week has been a little different as Miss Dekker has been doing SATs with Year 6 so we haven’t had our usual lessons and therefore we cannot consolidate what we have been learning in class. Instead, please can you look at your Big Maths weekly sheets and practice a few questions that you have been struggling with. Remember you can use your prompt sheet. If an adult can give you some questions that are similar to the ones on your sheet then this would be great. Please record your workings in your home learning book. This extra practice really does help improve your score!

2)    Foreign

3)    Forty

4)    Frequently

5)    government

Year 5 Home Learning

Maths/Topic- This week I would like you to create a maze that someone else in class will solve next week. Please make sure you know the answer. To get in and out of your maze you need to have a maths word problem. (So you should have two.) Again make sure you know the answer to your own word problems. Good luck and I look forward to seeing them next week.

Spellings- Revise all the ones for this half term as we will be testing you on them next week.

Year 6-Home Learning

You have a list of activities I would like you to have a go at doing over the weekend. They included sleeping well, eating and drinking, playing outside, spending time with loved ones and enjoying your weekend before next week. You are ready! We are proud of you and you can only do your best.

Below are some photos of what we have been up to this week. We had a treasure hunt quiz to help Year 6 with SATs revision, made circuits in Science and had a different (new style) game of dodge ball in the sunshine. We also achieved a great challenge Miss Dekker set us this week, we made origami dragons! Well done for another super week.

Today we (Year 6) were given a letter about the time table for next week (including breakfast arrangements.) Year 5 and Year 6 were given their letters about a trip to Newmarket races on Thursday 18th May. Please bring permission slips ASAP. The trip is free and lunch is included!

Monday 24th April-Friday 28th April

Class 4 have worked incredibly hard this week. They have continued to build up our classroom into a dragon's den, wrote some great dragon stories, made origami dragons and learnt all about Saint George as we celebrated St George's day on 23rd April. Moving away from our dragon theme, we have continued to work hard in other areas of the curriculum and both Mrs Bowles and myself have been extremely pleased with the working attitude in Maths this week.

Welcome back to Summer Term.

This week I have sent a newsletter home about our new topic 'Dragons,' and some key dates coming up in the future.  Please come and ask if you require another paper copy. 

Year 6 were also given a letter about their school trip to the Suffolk Ski Slopes on Friday 12th May. This is a special trip for them to celebrate the end of SATs. 

Year 5 have been given a letter for the same day as they will be spending the day at Bungay High School.

It has been a messy and fun first few days back as we have kicked started our new topic, 'Dragons.' We have been working hard to transform our classroom into a dragon mythical world. Photos will be available next week when our giant dragon has dried and he is up on the wall. Please feel free to come and see for your self as well.

Below are some photos of us playing football in our P.E lessons and creating our dragon room. Miss Dekker and Mr Knight's were blown away in our other P.E lesson this week because we were able to throw the ball REALLY far whilst playing a form of rounders. (Throwing rounders.)
