Welcome Back

This half term in Class 5, we are looking forward to learning about our new topic – Allotment…

 Let’s grow! A crispy carrot, a luscious lettuce or a tasty tomato. Dig deep and put your back into it, making your own tubs and planters and nurturing your greens.

Harvest your crops and make soups and dishes of seasonal foods that taste delicious. Learn about farms and where food comes from, writing reports on wide produce.

Discover which allotments are closest to your school and open the door to the secret garden.

After all your hard work, have your fingers gone green?

Allotment – 31.10.22

Year 6 to Year 7 transition experience – 20.10.22

A wonderful experience by all our Year 6s today when we went to Durham Federation to participate in a Literacy and Numeracy lesson in a Key Stage 3 setting. We met some of the teachers, pupils, had lessons in their classrooms and even had dinner in the canteen.

Fantastic Rights Respecting Gold ethos demonstrated by all.

I hope that you have all had a wonderful, relaxing summer holiday and are ready for the year ahead; welcome to Class 5, Year 5 and 6.

In Class 5, we are looking forward to learning about our new topic – Darwin’s Delights…

Ship ahoy! We’re off on an exciting expedition with Charles Darwin and his crew on HMS Beagle. Can you trace his route across the vast ocean?

Stop at the magical Galapagos Islands to see the amazing species that helped Darwin develop his theory of evolution by natural selection.

Do you know what’s so special about a lava lizard, or why the blue-footed booby has blue feet?

Imagine how humans will evolve in millions of years; it’s a scary thought!

Ready to trace the origin of species? Let’s set sail!

As well as our topic, the children will develop their rugby in PE, as well as enhancing our Literacy and Numeracy skills. Our Year 6 children are excited to start their preparations for the upcoming SATs, and an extra-curricular club has been organised to start on Tuesday and Wednesday – please look-out for the club letters that will be handed out soon. All children in Class 5 will be encouraged to join in the fun on these After-School Clubs.

Homework will be issued weekly. Spellings and Times Tables will be issued on Wednesday and returned ready for a test on Mondays. Either Literacy, Numeracy or Science will be issued on Mondays, to be returned on Fridays. To continue all our hard work to develop our Remote Learning, we are encouraging our children to access their homework via DB Primary and upload their homework onto the MY WORK section by the Friday deadline – paper copies will still be distributed if necessary. We are trying to encourage our children to read daily, asking parents / carers to give a brief comment in their reading diary. Please ensure that your child returns their reading book to school daily.

Class 5 will have PE on Thursday and Fridays. Please ensure your child has their PE kits in school on Monday morning and leave it in school for the whole week. We will send PE kits home on Fridays.

I am really looking forward to working with your child and getting to know them throughout the year. Please feel free to contact me with any queries; I genuinely believe that a happy child is the result of outstanding home / school links, and I am looking forward to meeting you.

Kind Regards

Mr. Graham

Deputy Head Teacher
