Hello everyone, 

Lovely to see the sunshine this week. Lots of fun playing outside this week with lots of sporting activities today to finish off the week.

Solar Ovens - Culture Club have been making solar ovens after we have been discussing International Day of Clean Energy and how we can reduce the amount energy we use. The children created the oven with the idea that the tin foil would reflect the sun's rays onto the marshmallow cooking it. We will send our images and a step by step guide to our partner school in Hungary to see if they can do the same.

In science, Year 6 have been exploring different ways to separate materials. The children were given a range of mixed objects and had to decide which separation method such as filtering, sieving, magnetism and evaporation would work best. They tested their ideas, explained their choices and discovered how different materials behave when separated.

The Geography focus for this half term is North America. Year 6 created messy maps using only our prior knowledge. This helped us capture what we already knew and what we were unsure about. As we continue exploring the geography, cultures and countries of North America, we will continue to add information to our map.

Move over David Attenborough- Leonora’s in town! -During her Time to Shine this week, Leonora showcased her fantastic knowledge of Scottish animals, acquired during a recent holiday to the Western Highlands. She shared a whole range of facts about a variety of birds, including the white‑tailed eagle and the golden eagle, along with mammals such as the otter, Scottish red deer, and the European pine marten.

Leonora also showed us photographs of the animals she had spotted using her telescope and even brought in a section of a stag’s antler to discuss with us.

At the end of her presentation, she revealed that the series The Secret Garden, narrated by David Attenborough, was actually filmed where she was staying. She even met the gentleman who owns the garden where the pine martens live. How exciting!

Year 5's French Cafe! - This half term, we have been learning how to say popular food and drinks in French. Therefore, we thought the best practise was to host our own cafe where children can order their items. It's safe to say we had full bellies by the end. Tres Bien!

Year 5 and 6 have had a fantastic week making and assembling their wooden truss bridges. Children used saws, bench hooks and sandpaper to create their structures. I am so impressed with the team work and resilience of each group as the design brief was tricky at times. Well done!

Year 5 Computing Presentations

Over the course of the half term, Year 5 have been given a data security scenario where they had to carry out several tasks to cater for these issues. For their final project, they created a powerpoint presentation which was presented to the class about the problems and solutions going forward.

Elisha's Time to Shine for this week - Elisha’s passion for football shone through during his Time to Shine this week! He told us all about the team he plays for, shared his impressive collection of football cards and even read a poem about the beautiful game that he had written at home. We enjoyed discussing our favourite lines from his wonderful piece of writing, and Mrs Chadwick has now displayed it proudly at the front of the class. Elisha finished with a quick football quiz to test our knowledge - and we scored top marks!

Noah had his time to shine and he chose to talk about his favourite animals - The Red Panda. He brought in a cuddly toy and a book to show the class what they look like and to share some amazing facts all about them! He was extremely enthusiastic to share his knowledge about Red Pandas and even created a mini quiz at the end. Well done Noah!

Hello everyone, 

I hope everyone’s had a lovely week.

Thank you to everyone who help raised money for Red nose day. FMPS raised a huge £448.44

Martha demonstrated true star talent during her Time to Shine this week, giving us an insight into her world of dance. She spoke with confidence and enthusiasm as she shared information about her dance teacher, Miss Helen, the uniform she wears for dance practice, the way her hair must be styled and the costumes she uses. We were very impressed with the number of trophies and medals she has received in dancing competitions, along with her awards for dance examinations. It was wonderful to hear Martha use rich and varied vocabulary to describe the different dance styles. Martha ended her presentation with a quiz and, as we were all listening carefully, we managed to score full marks! Martha’s dream is to dance and sing on the West End stage, and we all agree that she definitely has what it takes!

We enjoyed reading 'Zog' today. In the story Zog is the keenest dragon in school but he has to try super hard to win a golden star. We loved hearing about Zog's efforts and were glad he made it.

Thank you for sharing, Yonas.

This week's shiny reader from the Honeybees class was Lucas.  He loved sharing his book called 'Peppa's New Baby' with us.  Lucas told us he also had a new baby sister just like Pepper.  He showed us his favourite parts of the book which included a picture of Mammy Pig with a baby in her tummy and told us that it was just like his Mammy did.  He told his classmates that this book was very special and he was hoping to collect more of the series.  Well done Lucas, it was a pleasure to share your shiny reader today.

During Thierry’s Time to Shine, his love and pride for his home country, Nigeria, clearly shone through. In a marvellous presentation, he told us about the geography of Nigeria, discussed the various languages spoken and informed us about its people, including famous writers such as Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. He also talked to us about popular music and dance – Mrs Chadwick even played us some music by Thierry’s favourite Afrobeats artist, Burna Boy! Thierry also left us feeling very hungry when he showed us some photographs of delicious Nigerian dishes such as jollof rice and fried plantain. Keep waving your Nigerian flag proudly, Thierry! We agree that you are unstoppable.
