Spellings

The word-lists for years 3 and 4 and years 5 and 6 are statutory. The lists are a mixture of words pupils frequently use in their writing and those which they often misspell.

Every week on Monday children will also be given spellings to learn. These words may follow a particular spelling rule or may be taken from the statutory spelling list. There is a spelling test on Friday and after the test children will be expected to continue to apply these spellings to their writing.

Spring Term

Science - Moon Rocks
We were very priviliged to have moon rocks from NASA in our classroom this term. Only 100 schools in the country have been able to borrow these special samples so we felt very lucky to be able to explore and identify different samples from metorites and the moon!

Jodrell Bank Trip
We had a fantastic time on our trip to Jodrell Bank where we learnt lots about satellites and the solar system. This was the perfect way to start our topic on Earth and Space and really sparked the children's interest.

Maths
We have worked hard in maths this term learning about fractions decimals and percentages and how they can be equivalent. We also enjoyed learning about perimeter and area and did lots of practical activities in groups to promote our oracy skills and to help us to visualise our learning.

Science
In science we have been learning about forces and our lessons have been jam packed with investigations and experiments to find out more about water resistance, air resistance, friction and pulleys, levers and gears.

Design and Technology
We had lots of fun in our DT lessons designing, creating and evaluating electronic doodlers.

P.E.

We focused on basketball during this term and learnt about different passes, defence styles, shooting techniques and ways to create space.

OLHS Visit
We were very lucky to be invited to Our Lady's RC High School to watch their production of Aladdin. The performance was fantastic and we loved seeing lots of our ex-pupils on stage. Lots of our pupils were inspired and have started thinking about the clubs and activities they would like to pursue in High School.

Children's Mental Health Week

In our PSHE lessons we have been learning more about managing our emotions and focused particiularly on anger. We then thought about our similarities and differences we share with our classmates and created a belonging mosaic to help us remember that in school our classroom is our family where we are always loved and valued.
