Photo Club do Football!

OK so we didn’t play but we went to Football Club and pretended to be Sport news photographers.  Ernie and Ellla discovered how tricky it is to get good photos with usable backgrounds when your subjects don’t keep still!  They got lots of practise and trying to be prepared and grab the shot in the moment.  In the end they did get some fabulous photos too.  Well done to both of them!

Class 5 Easter homework – well done!

I just wanted to say well done to Class 5 children on their fantastic effort with their Easter homework. Their postcards from Brazil really showed what they have learnt during our topic and made me want to visit!

Well done also to Year 6s for getting stuck into the revision activities I gave out; we’ve started to work through these today and I will be setting further small tasks for Year 6s to do up until SATs week (May 12th onwards.)

Thank you for supporting your child with their homework tasks which is a great help to me, as well as your child.

Year 6 SATs revision

 

I have given you a range of revision activities for the Easter holidays. It is up to you how much you complete but obviously the more you attempt the more there is for me to look through with you when you return to School. 

If you need adult help for any of the questions, please make a note by the question so that I know what we need to look at again after Easter.

If you want to contact me for any reason, feel free to email me with any questions or queries and I will get back to you as quickly as possible.

Have a good Easter holiday!

Mrs Johnson

SATs week: Monday 12th –Thursday 15th May

Year 5 Easter homework

Year 5 Literacy/Geography Homework

To be given in on Monday 28th April 2014

 

Imagine you have been on holiday to Brazil.  Use what you have learnt this term to write a postcard to Class 5, describing your visit e.g. where did you stay, what was the weather like, where did you visit, what did you see, etc. I’ve included some key vocabulary to help you in the word bank below but I want you to use your own interesting vocabulary to make Class 5 believe that you had the best holiday ever! You can also draw/design an image on the reverse of the postcard to show the location(s) you visited.

 

weather

carnival

journey

temperature

travelled

rainforest

landmarks

tropical

experience

wildlife

If you need help or are stuck for ideas, email me on the details I gave you and I will reply straightaway. I’m really looking forward to reading everyone’s postcards which will make a fantastic display!

Photo Club country excursion

Ernie and Ella came to the last Photoclub of this term.  They chose their activity for our last week and we went off premises to get landscape and country photos.  We walked a similar route to the Cross Country Club taking in the woods, fields and farm animals including baby goats and Mrs Ross’ horses.  The sun shone and we all had a great time.  Have a great Easter!

Class 5 Celebration Assembly

For Celebration Assembly next Friday, please could children in Class 5 wear something colourful or something blue, green or yellow to represent the colours of the Brazilian flag. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak to me or send a message in with your child.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Mrs Natalie Johnson

Photoclub at the Church

We took advantage of the drier weather to go down to the Church last week.  It always provides lots of photo opportunities with interesting stonework, plants and details as well as scenic possibilities.  We all had fun and the kids took some super shots.

Congratulations to Ernie for winning our club medal for the second week in a row.  Ernie has good control of his camera and many of his ideas translate into excellent images.

I hope the sunshine continues!
