Term 1 Week 4 26.9.25
Another week of being fabulous!
In English, we’ve been diving into the fascinating world of 'Kensuke's Kingdom'. The children researched the animals that Michael would encounter in Australia and Africa and created informative reports. They even wrote diary entries as if they were Michael himself following the incident of him falling overboard with Stella (the dog) and finding himself washed up on an island — do ask your child to recount the story to you!
In Maths, Year 6 have been exploring factors, multiples, division rules, and prime numbers. Don’t forget to check that the home learning on MyMaths and TT Rockstars is completed! Year 5 are diligently working on addition and subtraction, applying the formal written method to tackle various problems.
In PE, football and basketball practice continues, and the children are thoroughly enjoying sharpening their skills in both sports. Remember PE kits to be worn following school policy and no earrings please!
During RE, we explored what Christian believe God to be like and what he is not like.
In PSHE, we explored the meaning and origins of marriage, which sparked some fascinating discussions.
Science has taken us into life cycles, where we investigated the metamorphosis of insects and amphibians—how amazing it is that one creature can transform into another!
We also ventured into music with a focus on Gamelan music from Indonesia.
In Geography, we compared Saint Lucia to Maidstone—a small island with captivating geography!
This week’s Golden Book winners are Riley and Macie. Riley for amazing focus and completing his learning with a positive attitude and Macie for her respectfulness and amazing effort with her learning.
As a reminder, please ensure all home learning - Reading, TT Rockstars, MyMaths (Year6), and Spelling Shed - is completed.
Thank you!
Have a great weekend.
Mrs Rackley, Mrs Morris, Mrs Clarke
