Swimming videos

Even though the Year 5 swimming sessions have finished for this term, there are some great video clips on this website (http://www.swimming.org/swimfit/) to help with developing and/or improving technique for the different swimming strokes.

Take a look and try them out if you go swimming during the holiday.

Holidays approaching…

…so there are no spelling lists, tables or other homework this week.

Enjoy reading, writing (and possibly making?) Christmas cards, reflecting on this term’s topics and other activities.

Accordion assembly

Watch Year Four show off their accordion skills at 1.45 p.m on Friday 10 December!

Calendar working again

Google tell us they have fixed the bug that was causing our calendar to display events on the wrong days, so we’ve reinstated it to the site.

Sorry for any confusion that was caused by the problem.

03 December 2010

This week’s homework is creative. It is due in on Wednesday 08 December 2010.

I know about fractions.

03 December 2010

This week’s spellings are adding ‘ing’. The words in the left column end in a consonant. As they have a short vowel sound before them we need to double up the consonants before we add the ‘ing’. These will be tested on Friday 10 December.

06 December 2010

All the spellings this week are commonly used words.

Spellings 1-10 should be practised by the Nouns and Verbs. 1-13 should be practised by the Adjectives and Adverbs.

1. there

2. really

3. going

4. because

5. were

6. about

7. coming

8. believe

9. when

10. angry

11. happening

12. scared

13. shivering

Spellings will be tested on Friday 10 December. Good luck!

Problems with our calendar

We use Google Calendar to publish our timetable of events, meetings and holidays. Unfortunately, Google has identified a bug which is causing events to be shown on the wrong days. They’re working on the problem; until they find a fix we’ve taken the calendar page down.

The next few important dates on our calendar are:

• Tuesday 14 December, 2.15pm – Reception, Y1 and Y2 Christmas production
• Wednesday 15 December, 2.15pm – Reception, Y1 and Y2 Christmas production
• Thursday 16 December, 2.30 to 4.30pm – PTA Christmas Fair
• Friday 17 December – school closes for the holidays
• Tuesday 04 January – school reopens

Sorry if you’ve been confused by our calendar recently!

Snow!

SEAL statement 06 December

‘I can see things from other people’s point of view’ is the final SEAL statement for our Getting On theme.

This follows on from our work last week on solving problems where, as part of the problem solving process, children are encouraged to listen to each other to consider their feelings.
