Year 4 & 5 Spanish food tasting

February 15, 2019 Miss Cacuci Leave a comment

There was a real buzz of excitement in the community room at lunchtime today as Kevin the chef dished up some authentic, regional Spanish dishes. The children were involved in helping to set up and serve the tapas and listened intently as he explained about the food and its historical background. Everyone, including the staff involved got to experience the amazing taste of a variety of regional dishes, such as gazpacho, serrano ham with melon or manchego cheese, chicken and chorizo paella with meatballs and patatas bravas, all topped off with refreshing Seville oranges and watermelon which the children devoured! (Vegetarian versions were included).

Today, years 2,3,4 and 5 were visited by the Sikh Education Service.

The day started with an assembly for all four classes, in which Mr Singh taught children about respect, integrity, how special we all are and performed a musical number for the children. The children really enjoyed interacting throughout the assembly.

This was followed by interactive workshops for year 3 and year 4 for the rest of the morning.

As we are still focusing on the World Wars for our topic this half term (precisely WW2 ), children in Year 5 had to build their own 3D planes.

Here is to show everybody how brilliant and extraordinary they are and WHAT A DIFFERENCE they make to our classroom environment.

Tonight, every class shared details of what multiplication looks like in their year group. Teachers, support staff and parents mingled as they shared strategies and tips.

Remember we all need to know our multiplication facts by heart and recall tables at speed and out of sequence.

Year 2 – 2, 5 and 10 tables

Year 3 – 3, 4, 9 and 11 tables

Year 4 – 6, 7, 8 and 12 tables

YEAR 5 – Spanish learning

November 23, 2018 Miss Cacuci 3 Comments

This week, Year 5 have started learning the numbers in Spanish. We talked about Spain as a country and shared few things we all know.

We’ve also made a bunting banner that shows how brilliant year 5 are with numbers.

We are looking forward to the next week’s learning where we will start introducing ourselves.

Year 5 Journey Outreach

November 16, 2018 Miss Cacuci 1 Comment

Today, year 5 have had an extraordinary day. We were really lucky to have a team from The National Holocaust Centre and Museum share an insightful journey of a boy, Leo, in 1938. The children had many opportunities of open discussions and were given many clues which helped them learn and understand every step of his journey where it all started in Berlin. It has been a successful day and what the children have learnt today will be the base of our next learning in Literacy.
