LKS2 weekly update

Wow, another busy week in LKS2, we can’t believe that there is only 1 week to go until the end of the year!

This week, we performed our class assemblies to our parents/carers which was an opportunity for all the children to show off the work that they are proud of for this year. We hope you enjoyed seeing just a small snippet of the things they have been doing in Year 3 / 4.

We explored shadows in Science and were set the challenge to see what letters or words we could create using the shadows of the objects in our classroom, there was lots of scientific vocabulary being used as we explored.

We have performed and been ‘hotseated’ as Noah as we learnt about story from the bible, we asked questions to each other to make us consider how Noah may have been feeling when God asked him to build an Ark.

In Geography, we planned and delivered a weather report to our classes based on the Northern or southern hemisphere of the world.

And finally, (and probably what the children will have remembered from this week) is that Class 8 had an unexpected guest in the classroom on Thursday, much to Mrs Taylor’s surprise…

Next week

Next week, as we are nearing the end of the year, we will be sorting out our classrooms and the children’s books/belongings from over the year.

Please could each child bring in a heavy duty carrier bag ( a ‘bag for life’ would be good) on Monday so that they have an extra bag in school for when we are able to send all of their past books home. This is likely to be on Thursday but we may send home some books/belongings different days.

Thank you very much 🙂

LKS2 weekly update

As you are probably already aware, the children have come home today with their end of year reports and their times tables check results. Inside their report envelopes are also the letters to tell you/them what class they will be in next year.

We hope you are pleased with your child/children’s reports, we are so pleased with their attitudes and progress made. Well done all 🙂 

This week we have delivered the relationships and sex education programme to the children. They were all SO mature and respectful. The boys and girls were taught separately for the final two lessons so that any questions that may arise (of which there were lots) could be suited to a particular gender at that particular time.  We hope that the children’s questions have been answered during the lessons but if there is anything else they would like to ask/think of, we have question boxes in our classroom that they can use.

Here is our Summer 2 topic overview to share what we have been and will be learning about over the next few weeks. – Half-term overview Latitude and Longitude

Just a polite reminder that children should be coming into school on non-PE days in the correct school uniform. There have been a few incidents this week of children coming to school in their own shorts/trainers when we haven’t had PE.

Another week has flown by!

Thank you for your continued support.

Sports day reminder.

On Monday, we will be doing a practice run of ‘Sports day’. The children will need to come to school in their PE kits on Monday for the practice,  as well as Tuesday for sports day. 

The children will also need a water bottle and to bring/wear a sunhat and sun cream to school if it looks like it will be another hot day.

Thank you 🙂

Collage materials

Over the next few weeks, Class 6, 7 and 8 will be creating collages and we would really appreciate it if anyone was able to donate/bring in any magazines and or patterned paper that would be suitable to collage with.

If anyone has anything that would be suitable then please can the children bring it into school with them over this week.

LKS2 Weekly update

Welcome back after half term !

We had such a nice start to the week on our trip to Chetwynd deer park. We spent the whole day doing lots of different activities such as mindfulness exercises, photography using the iPads, exploring the park (and rolling down hills), nature scavenger hunts, natural object portraits, sketching in our sketchbooks and lots of time spent enjoying being outdoors.
All of the children were so well behaved and we had a great time.
On Thursday, the Year 4s were lucky enough to go on their second trip of the week to Lichfield Cathedral, Mrs Cartwright said they had a brilliant time 🙂 (pictures to follow).

This morning the children made their mini pizzas, they have topped them using fresh, seasonal salad and vegetables (some have used quite a lot of toppings) and are ready to be cooked at home. I have mentioned to the children that they could add some meat toppings to the pizzas at home if they wanted to.

Thank you for your continued support.

Pizza making

To finish our Design technology topic from last half term, this Friday Class 6, 7 and 8 will be making pizzas that they have designed themselves.

Due to the number of children that will be making pizzas at the same time, unfortunately we won’t have enough oven space to cook them at school so each child will be bringing their uncooked pizza home with them to cook and enjoy. The cooking instructions will be sent home with each child too.

We will be providing the ingredients required to make the pizzas, including some seasonal toppings based on the children’s recipe designs.

Please can each child bring in a Tupperware style box/container on Friday to put their pizzas in to bring home. They will not be full size pizzas, we are aiming for the size of a side plate or a little smaller.

We have also begun the evaluation process of our pizzas. Please encourage children to use their senses when cooking and tasting their pizza so that they are able to record their final rating out of 5 for the taste of their pizza when they return to school on Monday.

Thank you very much 🙂

LKS2 weekly update

Another week has flown by!

This week we have planned and planted seeds for our Science investigation, we are exploring what plants need and observing what happens if we remove one of these needs. We look forward to seeing the progress (or lack of) of our sunflowers, we have already spotted some activity with some of the seeds!

Earlier in the week, we had a visit from two police community support officers who delivered an assembly to KS2 about the dangers of knives and the safety rules surrounding the misuse of everyday objects. There were lots of opportunities for the children to ask questions so they learnt so much about career options in the police force, police roles and responsibilities and potential consequences for breaking the law. It was a very interesting assembly!

We have also just begun our new whole class reading book, Journey to Jo’burg by Beverley Naidoo, we are very excited to get stuck into the story.

Thank you for your continued support,

Miss Taylor, Mrs Cartwright and Miss Wade.

LKS2 Weekly update

Welcome back 🙂

What a fun filled first week of the summer term we’ve had !

We have introduced our new value of the half term which is Empowerment, we will be thinking more about what this means and looks like in school over the next few weeks.

We were lucky enough to have a visit from Keith and David from the Key strings music education group, they delivered an assembly to the whole of KS2 and it was brilliant! A few children got to have a go at using some of the instruments. 

We have also started a new topic in Design technology that will take us on a ‘journey around the world’ learning about different foods, climates and recipes. To start this unit, we made Japanese fruit skewers that were very tasty.

Thank you for a great first week back.

Miss Taylor, Miss Wade and Mrs Cartwright.
