July Update

What a wonderfully busy and successful end to the academic year it has been! Despite the very hot weather throughout July, the children have continued to work incredibly hard and have finished the year brilliantly. We are so proud of all they have achieved and the enthusiasm they have shown across all areas of the curriculum.

In English, we have been exploring persuasive writing and learning how writers convince their audience using techniques such as exaggeration, rhetorical questions and quotations. The children thoroughly enjoyed designing their own inventions and then using these persuasive tools to create exciting advertisements to encourage others to buy them. Their creativity and imagination have been fantastic to see!

In Mathematics, our focus has been on statistics. The children have learnt how to draw and interpret a range of data representations, including pictograms, bar charts and line graphs. They have developed their confidence in analysing information and drawing conclusions from the data presented.

In Science, we have investigated the effects of temperature on freezing and melting. Through practical exploration, the children have described and explained different changes of state, developing their scientific enquiry skills and understanding of how materials can change.

In PE, the children have applied the skills they have developed in football and rounders to play kick rounders. It has been wonderful to see them working together as teams, demonstrating excellent sportsmanship and improving their coordination and game-play skills.

In Design and Technology, the children had a fantastic time creating mechanical posters to raise awareness about ways we can help wildlife. Many chose to focus on the issue of single-use plastics and the impact they have on our oceans. The finished posters were both creative and informative, showcasing the children's passion for protecting the natural world.

In Computing, we used Publisher to design and create magazine front covers centred around the theme of protecting wildlife. The children demonstrated impressive digital skills and produced some eye-catching and thoughtful designs.

As we reach the end of the year, we want to say how incredibly proud we are of every child. They have worked hard, shown resilience, embraced new challenges and been an absolute joy to teach. It has been a pleasure to watch them learn and grow throughout the year.

We would like to thank you for all your support and wish all of our families a wonderful, restful and enjoyable summer holiday.

Have an amazing summer everyone!

Kind regards,

Mrs. Capewell and Mrs. Jamieson ☀️🌟
