What an amazing afternoon with Ben in the WonderDome Planetarium!
The class had a wonderful time exploring space in three dimensions; learning about man's past - and now future - missions to the moon; and looking at how the International Space Station was built and is used.
Year Five are to have an exciting enrichment afternoon in two weeks' time.
The WonderDome mobile planetarium has been booked for the afternoon of Friday the 26th January.
WonderDome provides an inspiring learning experience, which captivates all ages. An inflatable planetarium will be brought into school, where the knowledgeable presenter will set up in the Hall and provide an amazing planetarium show.
A WonderDome mobile planetarium is like a large domed tent, without a base. It is blown up with a large fan and everyone enters through the simple zip entrance. When it’s inflated the equipment inside projects 360 degrees to reveal the wonders of the Universe.
Welcome to 2024.
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and a well-earned rest.
Our topic this term focuses on the Terrible Tudors, alongside a science focus on the Earth in Space and Forces. This half-term’s curriculum information and knowledge organisers can be found as attachments at the bottom of this blog.
What is our class text for this term?
Once we have finished Holes, we will be turning our attention to a new book: Boy in the Tower by Polly Ho-Yen. Whilst, it doesn’t link directly to our history topic, it is nevertheless a beautifully written book that captures the reader from the very first chapter.
A reminder of the school expectations for your child:
* Read at least 3 times a week at home (or alternatively, come to Reading Lair!)
* Check and sign your child’s home-school diary every week.
* Remain in the green zone on Doodlemaths and Doodlespell (this totals approximately 40 minutes every week). I will be checking this every Monday and children who are in the Red Zone will be expected to give up their playtimes until they are in the Green Zone.
* Work on achieving the Silver Reading challenges (these can be found at the back of your child’s home-school diary). If your child hasn't achieved their Bronze, they can still work on this.
* Check the class blog regularly to see what we’re doing in school.
