Mr Fiddy teaches Silver Birch which is made up of Year 4 and Year 5 children.
Silver Birch are also supported by Mr Tooms and Ms Simpson throughout the week.
The children will have PE on Monday and Tuesday. Please send your child to school in their PE kit on these days. On a wet day, it may also be beneficial to send your child with spare shoes and socks.
This half term, we are learning about the Anglo-Saxons and the Scots in our 'Invaders and Settlers' theme.
Further information can be found in the documents below.
Geography- Natural Resources
We were exploring the natural resources that are most abundantly available in different African countries. We were given a map of the resources and had to use an atlas to identify the country - matching them both up.
English - Mystery Narrative
In English, we wrote mystery narratives inspired by The Whale by Ethan and Vita murrow. The next day, we spent time typing these onto a Google Doc, developing our word processor skills. It was lots of fun!
Science - Measuring Gas
In science, we tested how much gas (Carbon Dioxide) was in different fizzy drinks. We tested: cherryade, lemonade, diet lemonade, cola and diet cola. Mr Fiddy gave us a beaker of fizzy and we measure its weight before stiring it to remove the gas. We then measured it flat to see the difference. We found out that gas has a weight.
English - Holiday Brochure
In English, we have been looking at holiday brochures. We tied together out Geography work with this, exploring a European country of out choice and then writing a persuasive brochure all about this place. It was fun and a great read after.
Outdoor Learning - Spider Webs
We created spider webs around the school outdoor environemt using string.
Zoom with Hannah Gold
We had a zoom with Hannah Gold where she was talking about her new book Turtle Moon, which we are reading as a class. Hannah was very inspiring and we spent some time making posters and letters for Mr Fiddy to send to her.
