Computing: National Coding Week in Class 8, 9, 10

National Coding Week 

For National Coding Week, Class 8, 9 and 10 focused on the theme AI. They discussed the uses of AI and how they use it themselves at home. Also, they discussed that coding is used to power the digital world. Codes tell a computers, apps, smartphones, tablets and video games what it needs to do by typing in step-by-step commands for the computer to follow. For their first task they used a binary code to create words for their partner to solve. Then they used codes to create instructions on a grid which their partner needed to follow to create a pattern on their grid.

Fundraising Group

A big thank you to our Parent Fundraising Group who have allocated £1,000 towards school trips. Each class will have £100 towards an in-school workshop or an educational trip out.

This will allow trips to be subsides for all children.

The fundraising group had their first meeting of the new academic year and have plans for a spooky disco in October and a Christmas fair in December.

The group are always looking for new parents to join and welcome anyone who can volunteer to help run the events.  If you are interested, please let the office know.

Refugee Week Class 9 and 10

This week for Refugee Week Class 9 and Class 10 learnt about why Refugee week is so important and how to make people aware of it. We started by recapping prior knowledge of refugees and discussed the cruel journeys they may face. Both classes designed their own acts of kindness animation and wrote a poem or piece of writing about Refugees to go alongside it. Below are some examples from both classes.

Class 9 Newsletter – 14.06.2024

It has been a really busy and exciting week in Class 9 for our Year 5s!

The majority of the class visited Thomas Adams for their Year 5 taster day – which sounded terrific and in Maths we have been working on statistics and interpreting data. In Geography, we have begun our work on South America and in Religious Education we have continued our work on Judaism; discussing the Shema. The children have started to make the links and comparisons between the different faiths that we have studied this year: Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism.

Have a lovely weekend.

80th Anniversary D-Day

We had the honour of commemorating the 80th Anniversary of D-Day with personnel from RAF Shawbury. It was a humbling experience to hear serving personnel speak about the significance of D-Day, the importance of remembrance, and to witness our students march in solidarity as a class.  The children were fascinated with the RAF Museum’s artefacts and  enjoyed interaction with them.  A big thank you to the RAF from St Mary’s for making this day very special.
