National Coding Week – Year 3/4

This week is Coding Week, and in Year 3 and 4, we have been exploring what coding is all about! We started by learning the basics of coding, understanding that it’s all about giving a set of clear instructions to achieve a specific outcome. To bring this concept to life, we engaged in some physical coding activities where we followed a series of commands to create different shapes with our bodies. By acting out these instructions, we experienced first-hand how coding works, making the learning fun and interactive while helping us grasp the importance of precise and accurate coding.

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.

Weekly news – KS1

 

We have had a fantastic week in KS1.

In maths Year 1’s have been learning about halves and quarters, knowing that fractions need to be equal parts. Year 2’s have finished their unit on fractions. They have started to learn how to tell the time to 5 minutes. We learnt when we say past the hour and when we say to the hour.

In literacy we used our computing skills to use the iPads to research Rio De Janeiro for them to create fact files and lists next week.

We had so much fun in PE today. We learnt striking and fielding skills and put these skills into different games. All children showed great teamwork and collaboration when fielding to get the balls!

 

Reminders:

  • PE Monday and Friday
  • Reading books to be in everyday

Have a great weekend 🙂

In Geography we have started a new unit ‘Window to the World: Brazil’. We have identified where Brazil is and the human and physical features Brazil has.

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.

Class 5 Weekly news

Happy half term everyone!

What an exciting final week of half term we have had 😊

In maths we have been comparing mass and measuring objects in grams.

We have really enjoyed our literacy lessons this week learning about tongue twisters. We wrote our own tongue twisters based upon our topic ‘Pirates’, so we used lots of words with the ‘p’ sound. The children thoroughly enjoyed sharing their poems and challenging their peers to read them.

We had a fantastic day on Wednesday with our special visitor, Captain Jim Bones! The children really enjoyed themselves and could ask great questions based upon the knowledge they have gained from our history topic this half term. The morning consisted of listening to pirate facts, playing with jig dolls, and learning a pirate dance routine and song.

In History, we finished our topic of Pirates by answering our enquiry question ‘Should we call Grace O’Malley a pirate?’. We had great discussions surrounding this question, we designed front covers and blurbs of a book about Grace O’Malley, before answering the question itself. It was great to see the children’s individual opinions based upon what we have learnt.

Reminders:

  • Books and reading records to be in school every day.
  • PE is on Monday and Friday.
  • Academy Photography is in school on Monday 3rd June for class photographs, please ensure your child is in the correct uniform.

Have a lovely half term break!

Miss Longland 🙂
