Our value this term:
Truthfulness
Our learning this week: 08/06/26 - 12/06/26
English
In English, we have been exploring the environment and discussing ways we can help protect our planet. As part of this topic, the children have been creating their own Green Superheroes, each with a unique superpower that can make a positive difference to the world. The children have begun writing their superhero stories and will be publishing them next week. We are very excited to read their finished pieces. These stories will also be entered into our end-of-year writing competition, which will be judged by Richard Best.
Maths
In Maths, the children have been learning how to order and sequence decimal numbers. They have also been practising multiplying and dividing decimals by 10, 100 and 1,000. They have also been learning about negative numbers, how to compare and order them using their understanding of number lines and place value.
Art
In Art, the children learned about set design and how to take a real-life scene and make it into a smaller stage set. They worked hard throughout the unit and did very well. The outcome was to create a set design for Oliver Twist, our end-of-year production. Please take a look at the photo gallery to see their work.
Guided Reading
In guided reading, we focused on The Call of the Wild. The children enjoyed reading the story and worked on comprehension skills by answering questions and finding evidence from the text to support their ideas.
RE
In RE, the children learnt about the philosophers Socrates and Aristotle and their ideas about virtue and the Golden Mean. They learned how Aristotle believed that virtues lie between two extremes and that we should aim for the Golden Mean in the choices we make. The children discussed how this idea can be applied to everyday life and reflected on examples of balanced behaviour.
Physical Education
In PE, we will be focusing on Athletics and Orienteering. The children will also be learning and practising their class dance for our end-of-year production.
