Mrs Simmons Well done to 6 Green who have spent the past two days braving the rain to take part in their Bikeability training. They were absolutely fantastic, both within the school grounds and out and about with the instructors within the local area.
We had another fab music lesson today. Trombones are more difficult than they look! We are working really hard and getting so much better.
6 Green have been developing their French language skills, using activities of the iPads to practice sentence building using verbs and pronouns in French.
6 Green started their new science topic on Friday morning by exploring what they think that they already know about light and matching key vocabulary to their meanings.
Our class was taken over by some amazing characters on Thursday both from books and representing nature and the world around us.
We have worked very hard to make leaves from willow as part of art activities linked to Nature Week. You can see our designs on display at Farnworth Green on Saturday 14th March.
As part of our Geography topic, ‘Volcanoes, Earthquakes and Climate’, Y6 Green have been learning how to locate places (in this case, the world’s volcanoes) using six-figure grid reference, including Eastings and Northings. It was a bit tricky to begin with, but they soon got into the swing of it! Well done!
It’s been a lovely week in Year 5 this week. The Christmas tree is up, we had a fantastic time at the panto and are going to make some lovely decorations. In curriculum we have been learning about how we can separate salt and water by drawing some pictures and allowing the water to evaporate. We finished this week with a bonus lesson with Rees Sports who helped us improve our netball skills.
We have had a very busy week in Year 5. Monday saw the start of assessment week and we have worked really hard to show off our learning. On Tuesday we attended Harper Green for the morning, learning about careers. A cleaning company came to speak to us about all the job opportunities they provide. It was exciting to hear about all the amazing events they had worked at – cricket, Olympics, football, horse racing, concerts…the list was endless! We even got to see an Olympic torch from the 2012 games.
Today, after a two week break, the children returned to learning how to play chords on their ukuleles. Not only did they play a wide range of chords successfully, but they also once again started to compose their own, using a combination of different strings and frets. An excellent job 6 Green!
