Hello everyone,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can sense a change in the weather on the way. Hopefully, the temperatures will keep dropping and we\u2019ll soon be able to enjoy our PE lessons outside again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is what Year 5\/6 have been up to in week 3:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maths<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Year 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aut.1 – Place value<\/td>Aut.1.9 – Number line to 1,000,000<\/td><\/tr>
Aut.1 – Place value<\/td>Aut.1.10 – Compare and order numbers to 100,000<\/td><\/tr>
Aut.1 – Place value<\/td>Aut.1.11 – Compare and order numbers to 1,000,000<\/td><\/tr>
Aut.1 – Place value<\/td>Aut.1.12 – Round to the nearest 10, 100 or 1,000<\/td><\/tr>
Aut.1 – Place value<\/td>Aut.1.13 – Round within 100,000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Year 5 will have their end-of-unit assessment on Tuesday 16th, so this week\u2019s Maths homework may look a little heavier than usual. I would recommend that the children spread the work out and complete it over the weekend, as this will give them plenty of practice and help them feel more confident going into the test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Year 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aut.1 – Place value<\/td>Assessment <\/td><\/tr>
Aut.2 – Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division<\/td>Aut.2.1 – Add and subtract integers<\/td><\/tr>

Literacy\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This week we began reading our new focus text Star of Fear, Star of Hope<\/em>. In the opening pages, we learned that Helen\u2019s parents worked in a bar, which gave us a glimpse into what life might have been like in the 1940s. Together, we imagined the lively atmosphere of a bar at that time, describing the different sights and sounds that people may have experienced. The children then turned their attention to writing techniques, focusing on the use of a \u201cspeech sandwich\u201d \u2014 a way of combining dialogue with description to build a richer picture of a scene. This is an important skill for engaging readers, and the students had the chance to practise writing their own examples, weaving setting details into their dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IPC <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In IPC this week, we continued to explore how our brains work and how we can become better learners. The children examined the idea of growth mindset versus fixed mindset by looking at inspiring examples of famous people who overcame great challenges to succeed. We also learned about the amygdala, which we compared to a shark \u2014 it can protect us by keeping us alert, but it sometimes confuses real danger with moments that simply make us feel a little nervous. The class then explored the difference between skills, knowledge and understanding, recognising that learning takes many different forms. We also discovered the role of the prefrontal cortex, which we likened to an octopus because it helps us make thoughtful decisions. To finish, the children proudly presented their posters on different memory techniques, teaching each other strategies to use in their own learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important Information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • In this week\u2019s homework, I have included a guide on how students can check their own Maths work as soon as they have completed it. This will not only help them to spot and learn from their mistakes straight away, but it will also show them the areas where they are doing well. Recognising both of these is an important part of learning and will help to build their confidence in Maths.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Please also ensure that your child completes all of the tasks set before handing in their homework. If they need a little extra time to finish before the deadline, that is absolutely fine. What matters most is giving them that valuable practice, rather than rushing to meet the hand-in date.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Have a lovely weekend everyone! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n
