Wow, what another busy week it has been in Wrens. We have been working hard all week to learn the songs for the Early Years Music Festival.  Check out the news article to see how we got on.

In Topic, we learnt all about Mary Anning, a famous palaeontologist who discovered the first complete dinosaur skeleton in the United Kingdom.

In maths, we have been exploring patterns and the children have really impressed us by making 3, 4 and even 5 step patterns using actions and objects.

In RE, we learnt about some of the internal features of a Christian church.  We are looking forward to visiting Abberley Church next week and going on a treasure hunt to see what we can spot.  We had a very interesting live Collective Worship on Wednesday with a former Paralympic Long Jumper.  We found out what it takes to be a top athlete and compete at the Olympics and Paralympics.  On Thursday we got to try out our own sports skills on the field as we practised some of the events for Sports Day on Monday. We can't wait!

Due to the additional activities taking place at school between now and the end of term we will not be running any more rainbow challenges. We have been very impressed with how the children have embraced these learning opportunities over the last 2 terms and we feel it has made the children much more independent in their learning. So much so that Miss Rixon is hoping to incorporate some form of rainbow challenges into the year 1 curriculum.

This will also be the last week we are sending home Little Wandle reading books and library books. Please can you have a hunt around at home and ensure all outstanding books are returned to school by the end of next week. Thank you!

In English the children have been continuing to work on our biographies of William Shakespeare and we have spent some time studying his life and some of his works.

In maths, we have looked in greater detail at different ways of representing data using pictograms and tables.

In science, the children investigated forces with a specific focus on magnetism and how magnets work. The children discovered how magnetic fields work and what materials are attracted, or not, to magnets.

In computing, the children worked collaboratively on a website about Capybaras.

This week in French, the children studied how French birthdays are celebrated and if there are any similarities or differences between them and a British birthday celebration.

In DT, the children have made and tested their slingshot cars and begun developing a shell for their vehicles.

The children have worked hard this week completing assessments in reading, writing and maths. This has been a good opportunity for them to show us all that they have learnt this year. The children worked very hard and should be proud with what they have achieved.

They have also been getting reading for our summer production, with a dress rehearsal, giving the children opportunity to perform in front of the KS1 children. They were a fantastic audience and seemed entranced by the acting and singing.

In Merlins this week, it has been assessment week. The children have completed a number of assessments in reading, writing and maths. These are for us as a school to see just how much progress the children have made throughout the year. Yet again, year 6 showed a determined and mature attitude and tried their absolute best.

In English, the children were inferring the thoughts of feeling of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth after being given the news that Macbeth has been given more power and tittles by King Duncan and he plans to stay the night at their castle in Glamis.

In maths, we have been exploring the nets of 3D shapes and reasoning as to why some nets will not make certain shapes and even drawing and creating nets of our own.

In DT this week, the children have finalised their product labels and have stuck these to their jars, ready for their Bolognese creations. Next Tuesday, they will be making their sauces so can I ask that all glass jars be in school by then.
