Latest News - Year 5/6

Today completed our Sperrins Partnership project.  Over the last few weeks we have all worked together to write a book all about the Sperrins.  Today we welcomed the Mayor into our class to present us each with a certificate.  Some of the children read the book to the Mayor and he was very impressed.

Thank you to Dearbhaile for facilitating this amazing project and choosing our school to participate.

Y5/6 had a great day yesterday visiting the three 'Giants of the Sperrins', created by artist Thomas Dambo.  The giants celebrate the geology, archaeology and heritage of the sperrins and embody past, present and future.  
We have been extremely lucky to be chosen for this 5 week project and are looking forward to the next 4 weeks where we will be participating in lessons based around the arts and creating our own book. 

We had lots of fun this week participating in lots of fun maths activities.

We went outside to make mathematical pictures in groups.  Check out our pictures.  There was a variety of masterpieces created, such as, a symmetrical pig, times tables and shapes.  Check out our photos.  

We also thought of our favourite numbers and created posters on these where we had to think of different facts and sums associated with our chosen number.  

We have had so much fun today in school dressed up as adjectives.  Check out all the fun activities we done today.

We participated in a live lesson with National Literacy trust this morning where we became pro quiz masters.  

Rocket readers was especially fun today as we were able to talk to our younger partners about our chosen adjectives.

We visited nursery where we partnered up with a child and read them a story.  The nursery children really enjoyed this and the Y5/6s were all so good with them.

In numeracy we chose a variety of different sized books and measured the perimeter of them.  We then estimated the word count of our current AR book.

I wonder who will get our reading award tomorrow in our star of the week assembly?
