Welcome back to the start of Autumn 2 term.
Over the holidays the children have been busy writing some wonderful book reviews on recent books they have read.
Book Review

Book
Title Herobrine goes to school Book 1
Author Herobrine books
This book is
about a Minecraft character called Herobrine, who goes to join a middle school,
he looks very different and is made of square shapes. The book is very funny
and has fun things that Herobrine does in school, as her likes a girl in his
class and builds her a sand pyramid in front of her school locker. This book is
easy to read and keeps you interested, it is also more interesting if you play
the game Minecraft as he is a character in the game. I would recommend this
book for any one that likes easy to read books that are not too long and keep
you interested.
This is a
picture of Herobrine.

RETURN OF THE JEDI
by marvel comics
The story is about
Luke Skywalker trying to save the galaxy from the Sith. The Sith are the evil
lot. These are t he
Sith lord's :
Darth Vader and Darth Sideos. They are evil
because they
want their own way.
My favourite
rebellion characters are: Luke, Han and Chewbacca. In the beginning seven
people get captured by Jabba. In the
end the Death Star gets blown up .
This book is
fiction but is written in comic style. Anyone who likes Star Wars will enjoy
this book. 5/5 star rating

The night of the living
dummy
By R.L Stine
This is a story about two sisters, Kris and
Lindy, who find a dummy in a rubbish tip,
the one who finds it starts using it and doing
shows and gets paid for it .
The other does not get paid because she doesn't have
a dummy.
So she asked her parents if she could have one
but it was too expensive ,
the next day she went downstairs and went in to
the kitchen and on the chair
she saw a dummy. Her father came downstairs and
said " I got it from a pawnshop "
But what she didn't know that it was haunted, as
was the other dummy.
One of the dummies starts causing trouble They
then get rid of it, but then they find the other one is also alive. This book
is a horror story. My favourite part is when the
dummy tries to get out of the house.
I would rate this book 4/5. Other children of my
age would like this book.

Mr Gum
and the secret hideout.
By Andy Stanton
The Story
Mr Gum and Billy
William try to make ‘Lamonic Bibber’ (the town) fall into the sea by polluting
it. Polly, Friday O’Leary and Alan
Taylor have to stop them BUT they get captured by Captain Brazil and they have
to escape from china …
My Review
This is a great
book and I strongly recommend it to anyone who has a strong sense of humour. The
characters are familiar from other books in the series and it is such a great
book, everyone should have one.
By Stanley
Diary of a
Wimpy Kid is a story about a boy called Greg Hefley. The story begins when he’s
about to go to high school for the very first time and he finds it hard to fit
in but he does have one friend called Rowley Jefferson and they had been friend
since kinder garden [preschool].When they went to high school on the first day
they basically went everywhere together but in lessons they didn’t sit near
each other and then to make it even worse the teacher said these are your permanent
seats.
They had
many adventure like the cheese touch there was a piece of cheese that went
mouldy and if you touch it you would have the cheese touch. One Halloween when Greg
and Rowley went trick or treating and when they had finished, a few teenagers
tried to take their sweets but then they immediately ran to Greggs grandma’s
that wasn’t that far away then they went out the back door and they both went home.
The next day at the end of the school they went to the back field but the teenagers
were there and they went into the basketball court and then they saw the cheese
and they made Rowley eat it.
I think you
should read this book because it’s funny and you would enjoy reading it and I’ve
explained why.

Thank you for all the book reviews. We have more in the class room as children have also written their's on paper so don't forget to look at those too!
Thursday 3rd November
There are a few things that have changed this
half term that you need to be aware of:
Our P.E lessons this
term will be on a Monday and Wednesday. This is because Mr Knights day has
changed to a Monday instead of a Friday. Please make sure your child has a kit
in school for these days.
Our Christmas play
practice will begin on Friday. We will be starting with the main songs and then
will allocate the acting parts a little later on in the term. Don’t worry, we
will leave plenty of time for children to learn their parts.
Our exciting Horrible Histories Greek
workshop is coming up soon. (Monday 14th November) The children will
have the opportunity in class to make a head dress to wear on the day if they
wish.
The children have been given a new reading challenge
sheet to record their points they have collected. At the end of the term, we
will see who has the most and the winner will receive a small prize. At the
start of each half term your child will receive a new challenge sheet and each
child’s points will start from zero again.
As I mentioned at parents evening to most of
you, Year 6 children will be spending some time with Mrs Bowles and Mrs Milne to
focus on key skills in preparation for SATs. This will be a time when they can
focus on specific types of questions. 3This is an opportunity to be really
prepared for their SATs and also feel reassured with what they already know.
Mrs Bowles will endeavour to make it as fun as possible and show the children
lots of good ways of practicing their learning at home as well as at school.
This time will replace Miss Dekker’s English and Maths lessons and will not be
additional time. This means your child will still be receiving P.E, topic,
music, science and all other areas of the curriculum like they would normally.
We feel this is important as children particularly enjoy these lessons. During
this time, Miss Dekker will be then spending time with the Year 5’s focussing
on their learning objectives for the year.
Our Time Travellers
topic will continue this half term. We will be moving away from the Ancient
periods and focusing our lessons on Outer Space. We will also incorporate the
theme in our English and Science lessons.
Finally, home learning, spellings and photos
are updated weekly on our class blog. Look out for the children’s latest book
reviews.
I look forward to an exciting and busy half
term.

This week we
have been learning what a Passive and Active sentence is. Your task this week
is to play a game of pairs using the cards and then record in your book what
each sentence is. (Passive or Active)

This week in
our lessons we have been focussing on mental strategies and identifying factors
and prime numbers. I would like you to play a game of Snakes and Ladders and
then record in your book the squares you landed on and list as many different facts
