Seussical Cast and Rehearsals

What a talented group we have in Year 5 and 6.




A huge congratulations on all the children for being confident and putting on such great auditions for Seussical - it really does promise to be a great show.




It was such a hard decision for Mr Edwards, Miss Fowler and Miss Bick - you truly made our jobs hard!




Here is our cast list.




A huge congratulations to everybody; obviously some people will be slightly disappointed, but the standard was so high, that it was very difficult to pick. As always, we will endeavour to utilise the fabulous talents of all our Year 5 and 6 and everyone involved is equally important!


Below is a link to the rehearsal schedule for the first half of the summer term.


Please take note of when you are required, rehearsals will be Tuesday afterschool from 3:15 - 5pm.


PLEASE come to these prepared, having looked at and (preferably learned) the songs / scenes; it really makes it so much easier!

SATS revision resources

Dear parents

The time seems to be flying by so quickly!

Obviously, the SATs tests for the year 6 children is coming closer and closer, and we have been asked by many parents as to what you could be doing at home to support your children in their learning.

We have therefore, put together a folder of useful resources, which you may wish to use at home. There is a collection which have been put together by the teachers, which we feel will be most beneficial.

Please follow the link below.

Let us know what you think of them!

We all had a great time playing outside in a mini tournament.  We used two pitches that had different rules. Amy and Hannah took one match and Zaid and Daniel took the other with William looking at both.

R.E:

In  R.E we have been writing scripts for olden day mystery plays. Our group is doing Noah's arc. Last week we wrote our scripts and this week we are going to perform them. 

  

 

Last week, we finished our illuminated manuscripts. They all look colourful and light up our room. We used gold and silver pens and pencils and Mrs Mainwaring cut some straws up to use as olden day fountain pens with black paint as ink. These were very hard to use so she also bought in some normal fountain pens which were easier to use-and, neater!-

 

Science: We have been learning how seasons occur.

The Earth is tilted on its own axis (23.5°). This means that we have seasons depending on which way the Earth is tilted. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun it is summer and when it is facing away it is winter.
