Out of this World- Launch Day

Yesterday, 5PH, along with the rest of the school, travelled around the world taking part in new experiences and learning new facts about the countries: USA, Brazil, Greece and Iceland. Firstly they travelled to the USA and became cheerleaders and 'Pop art' artists. Next, they travelled to Greece and made fig leaf head pieces and tried Greek cuisine. After Greece, was a trip to Iceland, where they learnt some Icelandic phrases, learnt about the two differing terrains and took part in some volcanic art. Finally, they landed in Brazil to learn about the different animals that live in the rainforest and produced masks of them then found out about the interesting world of Fair Trade!


The children had lots of fun and their behaviour was exemplary moving from classroom to classroom.


Below, is a few photographs from the day.

This weeks maths homework

Maths Homework- Due in Friday 2^nd March 2018.

This week, we have been comparing and ordering fractions. Knowing our common multiples has been highlighted as something we need to practise. This activity should refresh our knowledge and help us next week when continuing to order fractions.

Your child can attend homework club on a Thursday if they need support.  

Happy half term!

Hi 5PH,

I hope you are all having a lovely half term break with your families.

If you are able to fit in a little school work, please continue to read, read, read and learn last weeks spellings ready for a test next week. These are 5/6 spellings and a little tricky, which is why I have given you extra weeks to practise.

Next week, we will be jetting off 'Out of this World' for our new topic and as well as changes in the classroom, me and Miss Doorbar have been busy planning exciting lessons for you with a fabulous celebration event at the end. Details regarding the celebration event will be shared with children and parents next week.

See you Monday,

Miss Pinder 

Year 5 and 6 Fashion Show

Well done 5PH and the rest of year 5 and 6.... You made us all very proud today by showing off your modelling and textile skills. We really enjoyed this final outcome to our "Winter Wonderland" Topic.

Here are some pictures of the final piece! Super stars :)

Safer Internet Day activity

This morning we have been learning and discussing ways to be safe when we are online. As a class, we have created a jigsaw sharing the ways we can be respectful and ways to ensure we are safe.


Your task
Please connect with us and share your respectful comments about our jigsaw.


Thank you in advance,


Miss Pinder and 5PH

Safer Internet Day

On Tuesday it is Safer Internet Day. In class, the children will be taking part in activities to discuss how the internet can be a place to be positive with other people and not be used to upset people. The theme is CREATE, CONNECT and SHARE RESPECT. The children will be creating a piece of work which will be photographed and put on the blog. I would then appreciate it if families could make positive comments about the children's work which can then be shared with them to show how the internet can be used to connect people and show respect to each other.

I will send a text message out later in the week with a reminder. If you want to know more about what is happening on Tuesday, please follow the link below.
