Hello,
This week we have been busy writing our evacuee diary entries! Most of us are almost finished and we are looking forward to publishing these next week. Hopefully we will have a display of these up for parents' evening so be sure to look out for our amazing work!
In maths, Miss Bairstow's group have been looking at square and cube numbers, as well as formal methods for multiplication. We also had a visit from Mr White, a maths teacher from Benton Park, on Friday. He delivered a Year 6 into Year 7 style algebra maths lesson to give the children a taste of what is to come next year! Mrs Trotter's group have been practising their rounding skills.
Have a good weekend!

Hello,
This week we have started gathering ideas and planning our evacuee diary entries. Our trip provided some excellent inspiration for this! We also completed a topic lesson where we considered the type of belongings evacuees would've packed to take with them.
In maths, Miss Bairstow's group have been learning about factors, multiples and primes. Mrs Trotter's group have been continuing their work on place value.
We were hoping to share some trip pictures with you this week but have had a slight technical hitch - hopefully we will be able to upload these ASAP.
Have a lovely weekend!

Hello,
Our highlight of the week was definitely our exciting trip on Wednesday! Year 5 and 6 visited the Worth Valley Railway to spend the day as evacuees and find out what life would've been like for children during WW2. We will be basing our writing for the rest of the half term on this visit and it ties in nicely with our topic work too. More photographs to follow next week!
This afternoon, we received a visit from some members of staff from Benton Park to talk to the children about secondary school and their upcoming open days. The deadline for applying for secondary school places is 31st October if you have not already done so.
Have a lovely weekend!
Miss Bairstow :)
