Reading at home questions

17th October 2014admin
Dear parents,

As we mentioned at the year 4 curriculum teas, the reading questions that you can use to help your child with their reading are below. These questions should be used after they have read and we would encourage the children to look back in the book to find evidence for their answer.

Please only use 3 questions at a time as the focus is also on the children’s ability to read fluently and with expression.

Year 6 VW week important information

17th October 2014admin

On Monday we have an exciting opportunity to view a range of vehicles from the VW group.

Children will be outside for at least an hour and a half looking at the vehicles and understanding the specification of each car as part of their learning for next week. We will be going out even if it rains!

Please ensure that your child has a waterproof coat to wear on Monday and is wearing their normal school shoes and uniforms. If your child would like to bring an umbrella, then please do so. Please note: that these umbrellas should only be used on Monday to view the cars not for break or lunch time. The umbrellas will be stored in the PE boxes after these sessions.

Thank you for your support

The Curse of the Egyptian Tomb

16th October 2014admin

Year 4 today shared their incredible learning with their parents as they invited them into their living tomb. The children first had the problem of trying to entice their parents into the tomb and began by reading their persuasions to them. Some parents seemed hard to win over but the children managed to wow them with their vocabulary and their ideas.

 

After this, the parents were able to look at some of the Egyptian artefacts that the children had created across the project and were able to meet two embalmers giving a demonstration of mummification as one of our children became a real life mummy.

 

The tomb and persuasions were well received and the children created a fantastic show, explaining all of their knowledge that they had learnt over the last 4 and a half weeks.

I was incredibly proud of all year 3 Greek athletes on Tuesday afternoon…they competed against each other with such sporting prowess in the Brooklands Olympics! Thank you for being the first year group to invite parents to school to share your learning – it was great and I loved the costumes!
