27.9.21 Forgotten kit

 

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

We know it is early days and that children and parents are trying to get used to the new timetables.

 

Please could you double check on your child’s class website page, so that you are sure as to the correct kit needed on the correct day.

 

This would really help the office team, as they do seem to be spending a lot of time dropping off kit to differing classes at the moment.

 

Many thanks,

 

Miss Cook

Which substances are soluble in water?

The children tested a variety of powdered substances to see if they would dissolve in water. This is a great experiment to try at home. Simply mix water and powders from your kitchen cupboards (e.g. salt/pepper/flour) and see if the substance appears to disappear into the water without leaving lumps. It should still be a liquid to be soluble.

Autumn Nature Walk

This morning the Y5s have been out and about observing nature closely. We have walked along the hedgerow habitat, collected minibeasts and are now beginning to identify the leaves which we have collected. The children are using keys alongside their close observation to make educated guesses as to what they have found.

From notes to chords

Today in Music, the children learnt about the 12 bar blues which is a pattern of chords. A chord is made up of two or more notes played at the same time. Triads are chords made up of three notes. The children simultaneously played the notes C, E and G to create a C chord and practised playing to different tempos.

 

If you are at home, why don’t you have a look for famous songs which use the 12 bar blues?

Nature Walk is still going ahead

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

Having checked with the current advice, we will still be able to go on our Nature Walk on Friday which is fantastic news. Please see the previous post to ensure that your child comes into school with the appropriate kit.

 

Kind regards,

Reading at home

For those isolating at home, whilst your child will have access to Bug Club and Fiction Express, they could also be reading our class text. Attached is a copy of the book and some VIPERS style questions to work through at home. In school, we will aim to be up to chapter 20 by the end of this week.
