Cherry Class Blog Term 6 Week 1

Welcome everyone to our latest Cherry Class blog. Unbelievably, we are now moving into our final term together before half the class leave the school altogether, whilst the Year 5 half move (most anyway!) to new classrooms in September. 

In Literacy this week, we have started our new class text called 'Flotsam' It is a very engaging picture box about an inquisitive boy who discovers a very old camera washed up on a seashore and when he goes to a shop to print off the pictures (this doesn't really happen these days!) he discovers a whole new world beyond his locality.

In Numeracy, Year 5 have investigated decimal numbers, including addition and subtraction whilst Year 6 have been engaged in numeracy problem-solving activities in conjunction with practicing their end-of-year Year 6 production of 'Oliver'!

Before half term the class made Ancient Greek pots out of clay and yesterday they had a chance to paint them, followed by a Computing lesson linked to webpages and coding (HTML).

In Science we looked at food groups, and healthy foods in particular, and the children analysed two food diaries of conflicting health benefits! 

In Geography this term, our learning will be linked to our overall termly topic entitled 'The Holiday Show' and the children had the opportunity to research a holiday destination around the world to identity both human and physical geographical features as well as other fun facts such as things to do, local food and drink, currency etc.

Have a great week everyone

Regards,

Mr J Ramsden and Miss L Harris 

P.S. Just a reminder PE this term will continue to be on both a Monday and a Friday.
