I have made it really easy and fun. Just follow the instructions on the PowerPoint and send me a photo of your art work on Class Dojo. 

Music for Miss Parsons   Friday  10th July 

Find some objects from around the house with which you can play a rhythm. Use them to play the rhythm of your name. Record a video and send it to me on Class Dojo. Or  you can record the rhythm of the name of your favourite author, footballer ,football team, or recording artist. Can you recognise the names on my video?

 Welcome back! I hope that you all had a wonderful half term and are ready for another jam-packed term! 

This new term brings with it a new and exciting topic for the children: Tour De Yorkshire. The homework that the children have produced about Yorkshire is wonderful.  We will start by learning where Yorkshire is and how to locate Yorkshire. We will learn about the difference between a village, town, city, county, country and region. Moving onto labelling human and physical features of a region or country.

This week, the children have been learning about Dr Martin Luther King.  After looking at all of his achievements and studying his 'I have a dream' speech, the children wrote down words and phrases linked with the impact he had on society and why he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize.  The class had great discussions based around discrimination and the forms it can take and also why diversity is so important.  This linked with our current PSHE topic - Difference and Diversity.

Welcome back to a new academic year!

We hope that you all had a great summer holiday and the children are raring to go and keen to start Year 5.  We are sure that this year will be a positive one filled with lots of learning and fun.  .

We kick start this year, with a new topic based on the Romans – Rome wasn’t built in a day!  We will teach this topic in a cross curricular way and will start by writing our very own gladiator narrative in English.  In fact, we have already began to learn the model text linked with this narrative which will give the children the techniques, language and grammar skills needed to write their very own historical story.  We will also be exploring the effectiveness of the Roman army, Boudicca’s revolt and the growth of the Roman Empire as the term progresses.

To help us develop our reading skills, we would like to ask you to hear your child read for at least 10 minutes, 3 times a week and sign their reading record.  This can be their class book or a book from their Lexiled reading list, which can be found by logging into Reading Pro.  We appreciate your support with this as we know how busy life can be but those extra reading sessions will help your child to achieve their highest potential.  As a reward for reading regularly, each child will be awarded a sticker each week that they read 3 times to an adult (not including this week!).  If they get 12 stickers, then they will achieve the Bronze Reading Medal!  You can do it Legendary Lions!

Coming soon, will be a copy of the words that children need to spell correctly in Years 5 & 6.  Some of these will be sent home for the spelling tests but you may want to work through them with your child as they will need to use them in their writing during Years 5 and 6.
