We have been incredibly busy this half term already! Learning lines for our upcoming end of year show, singing songs, as well as fitting our topic work in! We had a fantastic World Cup day at the beginning of this half term when we all had lunch together in the classroom:sampling a variety of foods from around the world. This was followed by watching the opening ceremony. We really did have a thoroughly enjoyable day!Currently, we are learning about some of the teams involved in the World Cup and the continent which is hosting it: Africa.

I hope everyone has enjoyed their holiday over Christmas! We seem to be finally back to normal after all of the ice and snow and the children are working hard.
In art and music we have been listening to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and focusing on the movements of Winter. The children have created some wonderful dances, based around part of the piece, whilst working in small groups.
Our winter landscapes, which we created by mixing different shades of white for our background and adding charcoal detail, look superb and are displayed on the corridor outside Class 6.
As part of our Mother Earth topic we are learning about mountains and volcanoes and eventually how the city of Pompeii was buried as a result of an eruption from Mount Vesuvius.
In Literacy, the children have written scripts as part of our Journalism topic and recorded their own radio reports.

It has been busy half term so far and everyone has been working hard!
Our class assembly took place on Tuesday which gave the children the opportunity to tell parents and the rest of the school about some of the things we have been learning. The children thoroughly enjoyed informing everyone about our trip to Winmarleigh, our work on Cyberbullying and Fronter.
We have spent a great deal of time focusing on the safety issues which come with the use of the internet and other electronic devices such as mobile phones.
The children then designed their own cyberbullying comic strips to illustrate an example of cyberbullying and give advice to the victim. Their work is currently on display in the ICT Suite.

Welcome Back!
We’ve had a busy start over the past few weeks! We are currently learning about different explorers and what life at sea was like. In literacy, we are writing biographies about our friends and families.
In PE, our dance unit is focusing on games and sport. The Haka is the first dance we have begun to learn and we will be perfecting and developing it over the next few weeks! Pictures to follow soon!
Homework/Spellings 
Spelling tests will continue to take place on Friday mornings and any homework given out will be recorded in Homework Diaries.
Cycling Proficiency 
This will take place on 8th and 15th of October. Children must bring their bike to school on the first week for it to be checked for safety and they require a cycle helmet for when we go out on the bikes. This is a vital piece of equipment and without one they will be unable to take part in the session.
The training is paid for by school, so if you haven’t returned the form please do so as soon as possible!
