Hello everyone, 

We have had a very busy week here at FMPS and we have lots to tell you all!

Year 5 have had a fantastic week! In Computing, we recapped how to stay safe online and created our own Password Tumblers to generate unique passwords. In D.T, we tasted some different bolognese sauces and discussed their texture, taste and packaging. This will help us decide which sauce we want when we make our own spaghetti bolognese later in the half term. 'Find your match' was a game we played in French this week to help us recap conversational phrases. We went around the room to ask 'Comment tu t'appelles?' to find our matching character. Once we found them, we had a small conversation to practise our turn-taking. It's been a busy but fun-filled first full week of Year 5!

Y6 conducted an experiment using Newton meters and scales to see whether there was a relationship between the mass of an object and its weight. They found that the heavier the object the stronger the gravitational force that acts upon it.

Grasshoppers have had a great first week, it's been full of fun, new experiences and new friends. We have explored in our new classroom, had fun in the outdoors and made Jam on Toast. We have all settled in to our new year groups and enjoyed PE with them. 

Our topic this half term is "All about me" we have read the story Super Duper You and thought about what makes us amazing. We have looked at ourselves in the mirror and created our own self portraits.

Shiny Readers  - How to Catch a Mermaid - Elaine said she reads this one more often than her other books – she explained how throughout the book, the mermaid gets tricked, and this is what excites her the most. Elaine went on to tell us how she reads this book all by herself! Well done, Elaine.

Pup Saves a Train -Mohammed explained that he really enjoys this book because the main character (the train) helps others in many ways – much like Mohammed. He went on to explain he reads this book with his dad in the morning. Well done, Mohammed!

Anaya shared 'Thumbelina' with us. She explained the story to us really clearly about the tiny little girl and her amazing adventures. Well done, Anaya!

Nawaf introduced his book 'Peter Rabbit, Mystery Thief' very confidently. The story is about where the rabbits' radishes have gone. Nawaf explained that's why it's a mystery!

 As part of our Geography curriculum, Year 5 and 6 have created their own enquiry question, 'What leisure facilities are available to the inhabitants of Framwellgate Moor?'. The pupils have created their own data collection methods, completed their own risk assessments and designed their own route. Today we walked our chosen route to gather data to support our enquiry.

Year 6 Floating Islands 

Mrs Sumega from Framwellgate Comprehensive School visit Y6 this week, along with some Year 7 & 8s. Mrs Sumega was here to help the children with a project based around the 17 global goals in order to help the planet and the environment.

They looked in particular at Bangladesh and their problems with flooding during the wet season and a learnt about a young girl called Tara, who has had to move 7 times due to the weather conditions. The class's challenge was to build a sustainable floating island out of recycled materials, that had an area for chickens and crops.  

After they were made, we tested them on the water to see if they would float in a flood with nearly all being successful. To finish off the project the groups presented their gardens to the rest of their peers telling them why they used certain materials and which areas they had included in order to help Tara.  

Overall, the project was a great success and a big thank you to Mrs Sumega for helping us with it.
