Ruby Class

This afternoon, Ruby class whizzed around the playground, field and dirt track on their bikes and scooters. We had great fun!

Ruby class have been working hard this term to fill up their marble jar and they did it!

As their reward, they have chosen to bring their bikes and scooters to school. No electrical scooters allowed and please remember your helmet. No helmet, no ride!

This will take place on Monday 17th July.

Well done Ruby Class!

What a great day we have had today!

Today Ruby class went to Lullingstone Castle to visit the world garden. We learnt about different plants that grow all over the world. The children came up with amazing questions to ask, were intrigued and curious and were keen and passionate learners.

The children thoroughly enjoyed their PE lesson last week. They worked very well in their teams and showed their competitive side!

Last week we started our new class text ‘The Bluest of the Blues’ and began looking at our main character. We made inferences based on her life, character and personality. In maths, we finished our unit on money and now we are looking at time! This term we are carrying on learning about plants in science and we can’t believe how big and tall our plants are growing!

A few reminders:

Mr Hulme has relaxed the dress code and children no longer need to wear ties or blazers due to the heat. However, on Thursday 15th June (this Thursday) we have class photos so children need to come into school in full uniform including their blazer and tie.

We also have PE on Thursday with Miss Bracken so please bring your PE kit (in a named bag) into school to change into after school photos.

The weather is getting very warm so please send your child into school with a named water bottle and a sunhat to ensure they stay hydrated during the day.

Thank you!!

Miss McGill

St David’s House (yellow) received the most house points at end of Term 5. So, if you are in St David’s house you may come into school tomorrow (7th June) wearing your own clothes! Well done!

We have moved onto looking at money in maths this week and some children decided to set up their own shop. They labelled how much different products were and then started selling them to each other. They were given an amount of money and had to work out the changed needed. They even had a special visiter come to their shop to buy things. Miss Elvidge brought some new baking tins and some glues for her classroom.

Just a reminder that we are going to the library on Friday afternoon so please bring in your library card either tomorrow or Friday morning and any books that you need to return.

This term in geography we have been learning about the weather and climate. The children have really enjoyed learning about and watching the weather forecast. We have finished our unit on fractions and are now learning about mass and capacity. Over the last few weeks, we have planned and wrote an acrostic poem linked to our class text this term, ‘Ice Palace’ by Robert Swindells. In science we are looking at plants. We have planted a range of different food items and they are beginning to grow and sprout!

Our classroom always smells delicious as the cooking and baking continues.

Today Ruby class filled up their marble jar to the top just in time before the Easter break!

After having a class vote and going with the majority, it was decided that Ruby class would like to do show and tell and have extra golden time. You don’t have to take part in show and tell, however, please can the item fit inside a rucksack/bag so it can be stored safely throughout the day.

Thank you!
