Spellings
This is the spelling list that we will be working on (both year 5 & 6) this half of term. Some children may have alternative lists.
Year 5 & 6 Carol Service
Years 5 and 6 led the carol service at St Mary's Church. The service included many traditional readings and carols, and an alternative wording to the 12 Days of Christmas. The words and artwork for the song are above. We wish you a happy and peaceful Christmas season.
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Mrs Bullard came to all three year 5 & 6 classes to discuss a Midsummer Night's Dream and the symbolism of the fairies. We discovered that they were not glittery, pretty fairies, but were mischievous, magical ones. We designed our own versions of fairies that may have lived in the Athenian forest. Thank you Mrs Bullard for a very interesting lesson.
We have been very busy preparing the allotment for winter. We have planted bulbs, covered some of the flower beds, and even harvested pumpkins, rosemary, sage and a sunflower for the Harvest Festival!
Homework
Homework is usually set on a Friday and is expected in for marking by the following Wednesday at the latest. House points are awarded for submitting homework before the deadline and they are also awarded for excellent effort/attainment. If homework is late, then pupils will complete it at breaktime/lunchtime.
In addition, you can always look at the web links below and practice your literacy, grammar and maths skills.
