Weekly update

 

IMPORTANT: Please see the attached kit list for our residential trip to Bristol. If you have any last minute questions regarding the trip, please email your child's teacher (who will try to get back to you over the half term!). Also, as we are visiting the gurdwara, all children (boys and girls) will be asked to wear a head covering (such as a scarf) - out of respect. Please make sure your child packs one!

 

Please find new Budehaven transition letters attached below.

 

This week (another short one!), we have done an awful lot of writing! However, this is not all! We also spent plenty of time outside, enjoying the fantastic weather: cricket, football, long jump and even daisy chains!

 

Our writing this week was based on a short animation called Alma. The children loved the film and have produced some of the year's best writing! It was full of great vocab, wonderful suspense and some horrifying endings!

 

In science, we spent the afternoon looking at how plants are classified (with seeds, without seeds, conifers, flowering plants, ferns and mosses). We were able to identify a variety of these within the school grounds - we're so lucky!

 

We also spent time learning about spreadsheets and how they can help us. Our Maya topic made a reappearance with the children learning about their religious beliefs, gods and goddesses. 

 

In the next half term, we will be working on our Year Six production. Without giving too much away, it might have a space theme...

 

Have a great weekend, a fabulous half term and see you bright and early on the Monday!
