What are the most important features of a family car?

In a topic lesson this half-term the class had to sort nine features of a family car by deciding which were the most important to which were the least important. We then repeated the activity, but this time we sorted the same features for a rally car. This led to a really interesting debate about the importance of the various features!

Tackling cyber-bullying

In literacy this half-term, the class have been finding out about cyber-bullying. They then wrote a report about what cyber-bullying is and how you can limit the chances of being cyber-bullied.

Born In A Barn

Who was born in the barn one cold and wintry evening?  If you come and see our Christmas performance on Tuesday 14 or Wednesday 15 December then you’ll find out.  It’s not too late to get your tickets!  Come and listen to the singing donkey, various sheep and cows, a wise owl and a very noisy cockerel.  Looking forward to seeing you.

Join in our celebrations!

“BORN IN A BARN”

SEAL ‘thought’

Managing emotions, in particular anger, forms an important part of our SEAL Getting On theme.  This comment was posted by a parent in response to our calming down statement:

Prophet Muhammad gave this advice:

“When one of you becomes angry while standing, he should sit down.  If the anger leaves him, well and good; otherwise he should lie down.”

This is said because the likelihood of you lashing out, harming anyone and getting out of control is very difficult whilst sat down and almost impossible whilst lying down.

Thank you for this comment.

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.

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.

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.
