This Week’s Learning – wb 13.03.23

This week in history, we learnt about evacuation: what it was, why it was so important and what children had to take with them. We then had an ‘Evacuee Day’ where we dressed up as evacuees escaping WWII. There were lots of fun activities to get involved with, including making ID cards and evacuation labels, learning popular WWII songs, writing postcards home and creating our own radio broadcasts. You can see lots of pictures of us dressed up in the gallery section! In English, we identified the features of persuasive speeches and planned a persuasive speech ready to write next week.

In maths we have been learning how to find the area and perimeter of rectangles, parallelograms and triangles.

In music, we continued to make our own melodies using Soundtrap.

Bonjour! This week we have begun to create a Michelin guide to our favourite ice cream flavours giving reasons for our choices. You could watch this video to add more adjectives to describe different types of flavours: French Flavor Vocabulary (frenchlearner.com)

Next Week’s Learning – wb 20.03.23

Next week in English, we will be writing a persuasive speech to encourage people to end WWII and will then work in groups to edit and perform them. Our next piece of writing will be a formal letter so we will also be looking at the features of formal letters and planning one.

In maths next week, we will be finding the area and perimeter of compound shapes and finding the volume of cuboids.

In music, we will continue to make our own melodies using Soundtrap.

Next week in French, we will be finishing our booklets about ice-cream flavours.

Dear parent/carer,

As part of our commitment to make maths exciting and high profile in our school, we are taking part in a friendly competition involving schools in London. The competition runs from 07:30am Monday 27th June 2022 to 19:30pm Wednesday 29th June 2022. It's all done online via play.ttrockstars.com.

Children can play in any gamemode with every correct answer to a multiplication or division question, earning themselves, their class and the school a point. The Times Tables Rock Stars platform will calculate the class average (the number of correct answers per pupil in the class who play during the competition hours). Winning classes in the school and in the competition as a whole will be the ones with the highest average. There will be prizes and certificates available.

To support player wellbeing, there is a daily time limit of 60-minutes per player. In other words, each player can earn competition points for up to 60-minutes between 07:30am and 19:30pm on Monday 27th June 2022 to 19:30 Wednesday 29th June 2022. Once the player goes beyond 60-minutes of play on that day, they will still earn coins but will no longer earn points towards the competition.

Let’s get ready to Rock!

In history this week, we learnt about rationing in WWII and how it impacted upon people’s lives and compared a rationed WWII meal to the meals we have now. In English, we wrote newspaper reports and were able to choose a topic throughout WWII to write about. Perhaps the most exciting part, in D&T we made a rationed meal! We conducted some research to see what rationed meals were like before designing a pear crumble. We then made this and got to enjoy it with some custard! You can see pictures of this in the gallery section.

We completed some fun maths games and challenges to get our brains working!

In music, we continued to create our own raps using Soundtrap.

Children then worked in partners to edit their work before performing their speeches to the class. We also looked at the features of formal letters and planned one ready for next week.

In maths, found missing angles in quadrilaterals and a range of other polygons. We learnt that there are 360^o around a point and 180^o on a line. Children had fun creating nets for a range of 3D shapes using their 2D properties and got a taste of coordinates on Friday, which we will continue with next week.

In music, we continued to make our own melodies using Soundtrap.

Next Week’s Learning – wb 28.03.22

We will be having some final assessments next week before SATs, but these are nothing to worry about and we will be completing them like we have the others so it will be no different for the children to keep them as relaxed as possible!

Next week in English, we will be writing and editing our formal letters. In history, we are going to be learning about propaganda that was used during WWII, before creating our own propaganda posters in art using paints.

In maths next week, we will be continuing to learn about coordinates, including reflecting shapes in different quadrants.

In music, we will continue to make our own melodies using Soundtrap.

Next week in French, we will be finishing our booklets about ice-cream flavours and doing some Easter activities before the end of term.

This Week’s Learning – wb 14.03.22

In maths, we recapped the properties of 2D and 3D shapes, completing an investigation about the number of edges, vertices and faces when using 3D shapes. We then moved on to angles, discussing the different types of angles and using protractors to measure and draw them. You can see pictures of this work in the gallery section. Towards the end of the week, we learnt that angles in a triangle add up to 180^o and found missing angles in triangles using this knowledge.

In music, we continued to make our own melodies using Soundtrap.

Next Week’s Learning – wb 21.03.22

In maths next week, we will be finding missing angles in a range of shapes, learning about the relationship between opposite angles and angles around a point and identifying 3D shapes from their drawn nets. We will also have our first lesson on coordinates.

This Week’s Learning – wb 07.03.22

This week in history, we learnt about how WWII impacted upon people’s lives at how it has affected our lives today. We looked at a range of sources, including photographs and radio recordings, to do this. In English, we then wrote a diary entry pretending to be either a soldier in WWII or a child who was being evacuated.

In maths, we moved on to finding the area and perimeter of compound shapes and children completed a practical activity outside, where they got to make their own compound shape and then find the area and perimeter of it using metre sticks. You can see photos of this in the gallery section. After, we learnt how to find the volume of a cubes and cuboids.

In music, we are making our own melodies using Soundtrap.

Bonjour! This week we did a class survey to see what the most popular ice cream flavour is. You could do a family survey to see if the same flavours are popular.

Next Week’s Learning – wb 14.03.22

Next week in history, we will be learning about evacuation during WWII, looking at what this was, why children were evacuated and what they had to bring with them. We will also be having an ‘evacuee day’ to immerse children into the learning! In English, we will begin to identify the features of persuasive speeches and plan a persuasive speech about ending the war.

In maths next week, we will be recapping the properties of 2D and 3D shapes and starting to measure angles using degrees.

In music, we will continue to make our own melodies using Soundtrap.

Next week in French, we will add reasons for our opinions and begin to create our Michelin guides to ice cream.

This Week’s Learning – wb 28.02.22

This week, we had World Book Day! To celebrate this, we had a ‘book week’ and chose to look at Rose Blanche as it is set during WWII which is our topic for this term. We started by doing some role play to really find out more about the characters and then children wrote an informal letter as the main character, Rose Blanche, to one of the other children in the story. These letters turned out AMAZING!!

In maths we have been learning how to find the area and perimeter of rectangles, parallelograms and triangles.

In music, we are making our own melodies using Soundtrap.

Bonjour! This week we have been saying our opinions about ice cream flavours adding the conjunctions and, but and however. We played some games to help us remember the phrases. You could watch this video where Alexa explains how to use the verb aimer – to like / love: Aimer (to like/love) - Present Tense (French verbs conjugated by Learn French With Alexa).

Next Week’s Learning – wb 07.03.22

Next week in history, we will be using photographs to help us understand how the outbreak of WWII changed people’s lives and how it has impacted us today. Children will then use this knowledge to write diary entries, pretending they are children during WWII.

In maths next week, we will be finding the area and perimeter of compound shapes and finding the volume of cuboids.

In music, we will continue to make our own melodies using Soundtrap.

Next week in French, we will be surveying the class on their favourite flavoured ice creams.

This Week’s Learning – wb 21.02.22

This week, we have started our new topic, ‘WWII’ and we are loving it! we started by thinking about what we already know and what we would like to learn and then had a ‘hook morning’ where we really got ourselves immersed into the topic by watching some videos, making some spitfire planes and doing some research. So far, we have learnt about the countries involved in the war, how and why the war started and have sequenced key events throughout the war, such as the Blitz, on a timeline.

In maths we have been continuing with measure: converting measures involving volume and length, converting imperial measures and solving problems involving a range of measures. On Friday, we converted units of time.

In music, we are making our own melodies using Soundtrap.

Bonjour! I hope you had a lovely half term. This term we will be learning all about Likes and dislikes and justifying our opinions. This week we have been looking at ice cream flavours in French – delicieux! You could watch this video to practice how to say “Je voudrais une glace……” Don’t forget to add “s’il vous plait” to say please. Ice cream- French - Bing video

Next Week’s Learning – wb 28.02.22

Next week is World Book Day, so we are taking a week off from our topic to focus on a book called ‘Rose Blanche’ by Ian McEwan in English. We have chosen this book as it links to our topic of WWII and children will be able to explore the characters through some drama and will be writing a letter as Rose Blanche to one of the other characters in the story. We will also be completing some other fun book week activities, such as designing a new book cover, writing alternative endings and creating a book review.

In maths next week, we are moving on to area and perimeter, starting with parallelograms, rectangles and triangles.

In music, we will continue to make our own melodies using Soundtrap.

Next week in French, we will be learning how to say our opinions.

This Week’s Learning – wb 07.02.22

This week, we had our trip to the Horniman Museum to help learn more about our topic, including evolution and fossils – you can see pictures of this in the gallery section. In English, we have been writing our adventure stories and then worked with a partner to edit them before reflecting upon what we have learnt this term in our topic ‘Life’s Legacy’.

In maths we solved problems involving percentages, decimals and fractions and then moved onto our measurement topic: converting measures involving mass and length.

In music, we are using Soundtrap to create our own jingles for a chocolate bar of our choice.

Bonjour! This week we have had lots of fun putting on our fashion show. The children really know how to strike a pose and I was really impressed with how much French they spoke.

First Week Back’s Learning – wb 21.02.22

Our topic next term is WWII. We will start by thinking about what we know about this topic and what we would like to find out. Throughout the term, we will learn about why WWII took place, what life was like before and after, think about what life would have been like as an evacuee and why evacuated occurred. Children will also get the chance to create their own propaganda posters.

In maths during the first week back, we will be continuing with measure, moving on to volume and mass. We will convert different measures and solve problems using this knowledge before moving on to time.

Next term in French, our new topic will be learning about café culture with a focus on ice cream – délicieux! Keep up the numbers practice over the half term break: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEx2fPn-_UE

This Week’s Learning – wb 31.01.22

This week in geography we used atlases and aerial maps to locate the Galapagos Islands. We then compared an aerial map of London with an aerial map of the Galapagos islands. In English, we looked at the different settings on the Galapagos Islands and planned a setting description before collecting lots of adventurous vocabulary we could use. We then wrote them using a range of language: expanded noun phrases, prepositions, personification, metaphors and similes. You can read some of these in the gallery section!

In maths we compared percentages of amounts before exploring the relationship between fractions and percentages; after this, we then added in the relationship between these two and decimals and solved problems in real life contexts.

In music, we are using Soundtrap to create our own jingles for a chocolate bar of our choice.

Bonjour! This week we have been looking at what celebrities are wearing and describing the clothes using colours.

Next Week’s Learning – wb 07.02.22

In topic next week, we will be planning and writing an adventure story which takes place on the Galapagos Islands before reflecting upon what we have learnt during our ‘Life’s Legacy’ topic.

In maths, we will be solving more problems with fractions, decimals and percentages before beginning our measures topic, starting with length and mass.

In music, we will be continuing to use Soundtrap to create our own jingles for a chocolate bar of our choice.

Next week in French, we will be performing our fashion show. If your child would like to, they can come in in Mufti (10/02/22) so that they can describe their own fashion. They can also bring in funny accessories (hats etc) to wear on our “catwalk”. Have a listen to this song to help with learning your numbers in French: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hK4Leo2rTI

Safer Internet Day - Tuesday 8th February 2022

All fun and games? Exploring respect and relationships online

Safer Internet Day is an international holiday celebrated to promote safer and more responsible use of online technology and mobile phones across the world. Parents and carers can find out more about this by clicking here.

On Tuesday, we will be taking part in activities and an assembly to promote an awareness of how to keep safe when online. We will also be talking about the CEOP (Child Exploitation and Online Protection) button with our KS1 and KS2 pupils. This is a button that we can find on many websites, including online games. We click this button to report online abuse or something that worries us and it takes us directly to the CEOP command centre where we can make a report. (Children, parents, teachers etc can all use this button.)

This is what the button looks like:

Mrs Briggs, the Digital Learning Lead, has ensured that this button can be found on many relevant pages of our school website and is now setting each of you a challenge. How many buttons can you find on our Rushy Meadow Primary Academy website? You will need to check that all of these buttons are working by clicking on them. Let your class teacher know how many you found using your online learning platform (Tapestry, Seesaw or MS Teams).

Children’s Mental Health Week

We also have Mental Health Week next week which will teach children about the importance of mental health. We will be completing some fun activities throughout the week to support this, including mindful colouring, yoga and class circle times. We will also be having a mufti day on Friday 11^th February with the theme of ‘Dress to Express’! You can find more details in the posters below.

This Week’s Learning – wb 24.01.22

We have had our mock SATs this week and children have done amazingly! We are so proud of the progress they are making.

This week in English, we have written our explanation texts about human evolution. In science, we recapped how fossils are created from Year 4 and then learnt about how they can provide us with evidence from the past. Children compared fossils with their living relatives, finding similarities and differences. We had an art day on Friday! We looked at the artist M C Escher and his style of sketching, creating an artist study about what we liked and disliked. We then practised different sketching techniques using charcoal before creating our own fossil drawing using the charcoal.

In music, we are using Soundtrap to create our own jingles for a chocolate bar of our choice.

Bonjour! This week we have been saying what he or she is wearing. We looked at fashion shows in the Democratic Republic of the Congo where French is spoken and we said what the models were wearing.

Next Week’s Learning – wb 31.01.22

In topic next week, we will be starting with geography: children will learn about aerial maps and we will be locating the Galapagos Islands on different maps, including Google Earth and atlases. We will be looking at the different settings on the Galapagos Islands before planning a setting description, collecting effective vocabulary for it and then writing it, ready to use in our stories the week after.

In maths, we will be continuing with our percentage topic. We will compare percentages of amounts and then learn about the relationship between fractions, decimals and percentages before using this knowledge to solve real life problems.

In music, we will be continuing to use Soundtrap to create our own jingles for a chocolate bar of our choice.

This Week’s Learning – wb 17.01.22

This week in science, we learnt how organisms are classified into groups according to their characteristics and created our own set of classification keys to sort different animals. Children then learnt about how plants and animals adapt to their environment in order to survive and how this can lead to evolution, using Darwin’s finches as an example. We then learnt about the stages of human evolution before planning an explanation text.

In maths, we had one more lesson on converting fractions to decimals before moving on to percentages. We learnt how to find percentages of amounts, calculate percentage increase and decrease and find missing values of percentages.

In music, we are using Soundtrap to create our own jingles for a chocolate bar of our choice.

Bonjour! This week we have been learning how to say a wider variety of clothing in French and building a word bank to use in our fashion show.

Next Week’s Learning – wb 24.01.22

Next week, children will be doing their Mock SATs amongst the learning below! More information about this can be found in the parent/carer information section.

In English, we will be using our plans to write explanation texts about how humans have evolved. In science, children will recap how fossils are formed and will learn about how they can provide us with information about the past. We then have an art focus for the remainder of the week, where we will be completing an artist study for M C Escher, practising different skills using charcoal and then using the charcoal to sketch fossils at the end.

In music, we will be continuing to use Soundtrap to create our own jingles for a chocolate bar of our choice.

Next week in French, we will be putting our vocabulary about clothing in a sentence to say what he or she is wearing.

This Week’s Learning – wb 10.01.22

This week, we have been learning about selective breeding in plants and animals and children conducted some research to find out what the pros and cons of using this process are. They then used this research to plan and write a balanced argument about whether selective breeding should be allowed and edited their work with a partner.

In maths, we started by continuing to multiply decimals by whole numbers, this time looking at multiplying by two-digit numbers. Children then learnt how to divide them and round them to two decimal places. Towards the end of the week, we learnt how to convert decimals into fractions and completed a group practical activity on Friday to show how to convert fractions into decimals. You can see pictures of this activity in the gallery section.

In music, we are beginning to develop our listening skills by exploring and mapping the sounds around us and will be developing creative processes for composing with non-musical sounds.

Bonjour! This half term in French, we will be learning about clothes and will be filming a class fashion show at the end of the half term. This week we have learnt the names of some clothing items in French. We will also continue to practice numbers from 1-30. You could help at home using this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtoWhTOco9A

Next Week’s Learning – wb 17.01.22

In science, we will be learning about how scientists use classification systems to sort and classify organisms and children will get a go at creating their own classification key to sort a set of given animals based on their characteristics, e.g. whether they are a mammal, cold-blooded, have scales etc. We will then be learning about how plants and animals have adapted to their environment and how this adaptation can eventually lead to evolution. We will be looking at Darwin and his work with finches in particular here. After, children will learn about human evolution and plan an explanation text to explain this process.

In maths, we are going to be moving on to percentages: finding percentages of a whole number, finding missing values when given a percentage and calculating percentage increase and decrease.

In music, we will continue to develop our listening skills by exploring and mapping the sounds around us and will be developing creative processes for composing with non-musical sounds.

This week, we have started our new topic ‘Life’s Legacy’. We began by discussing what we already know about things like evolution, fossils and inheritance and what we would like to learn. Children then learnt about how parents produce offspring of the same kind through inheritance using Mr Men characters to demonstrate our understanding. You can see an example of this in the gallery section. We then began to look at the features of balanced arguments, ready to write our own next week.

In maths, we are continuing our learning on decimals and have been adding and subtracting them. We started by using place value counters to show our understanding and then used this knowledge to solve problems in a range of contexts.

Next Week’s Learning – wb 10.01.22

In topic, we will be learning about the advantages and disadvantages of selective breeding and will be using this to write a balanced argument about this.
