Maths games and world dance.

Before the half-term break, year 6 designed and made their own maths games to play with Lions and Tigers. They tried them out on each other just to make sure they worked and then played them with Lions and Tigers. All of the children said they enjoyed helping year 1 and 2 if they were stuck whilst playing their game. Check out the pictures below to see them in action.

This week we had a visit from a member of the Premier Sports team. She came and treated the class to a taster of world dance. The children really enjoyed themselves and were sad that their time was ending.

They started off with some games to get them focused and then had a warm up before learning a dance routine.

Great work everyone.

Choose-your-own adventures

Panthers class have been learning all about choose-your-own adventures this week and have been reading the brilliant: Where the Bugaboo lives by Sean Taylor.

It's a cracking book with excellent language and the illustrations make it really come alive.

This week the children have started to plan their own story using Where the Bugaboo as inspiration,
Their goal is to read them to Lions and Tigers class and take them on an adventure.

The children will be drawing their books as well and I will post the finished books on here when they are finished.

Well done

Well done to all of year 6 who tried extremely hard with their SATS tests. Over the next few weeks we will be looking at ways to improve our writing and trying to write our own adventure stories. 

Mrs Sales was very impressed with year 5 and their ideas for their own contraptions. I look forward to reading them next week. 

If you're feeling in the mood for some fun writing. Look at the picture below to inspire you.

Hard work

This week both year 5 and 6 have worked extremely hard in school. I was very impressed by their setting writing earlier on in the week. I could really picture myself being there. If you feel like doing some creative writing then head to this website as it has some great ideas: https://www.activityvillage.co.uk/story-starters 

Or use this picture to start of a fairy tale.

SATS are next week so make sure you get plenty of rest and spend your evenings relaxing. You can only try your best now.
