Spring 2 2024

Friday 15th March
Gosh, this half term is flying by. It was lovely to see the sea of red this morning for Comic Relief and thank you for the support for the cake sale too.
In PSHE this week we learnt more of our decider skills including Fact or Opinion and Self Care. We also talked about when we had felt the fizz and which skill we had used to help us. 
In PE this afternoon we had fun combining all we had done to have an afternoon and of skills and games with class Tamar. It was good to put everything in to practice and we just beat the rain.
In science we thought about how a balanced diet and exercise contribute to a healthy lifestyle and the impact they both have on our bodies. We then designed a poster to promote this.
For maths year 6 were delighted to get the cubes out for their work on volume and year 5 have been working hard at drawing and interpreting line graphs.
Please remember to be at Cremyll ready for the trip on Monday morning.

Friday 8th March
What a fantastic day we have had at the Eden Project. The children were so well behaved but had lots of fun. We sketched plants that were helpful to us and enjoyed both biomes, the Core and the new outside play area. 
Also this week we enjoyed World Book Day. We took part in a live lesson about how books are designed and then a live session with Michael Rosen. We also shared the passages we had prepared to read to each other.
In English we used our imaginations to plan and write a story based on a short film about a girl who lives on a whale.

Friday 1st March

In PSHE we had a visit from Trudi who is coming in for the next four weeks to talk about health and wellbeing. We started with some breathing exercises and learnt about STOPP. In English we have been writing imitation poems based on the Jabberwocky. We have made up our own foes and have had fun writing nonsense words. It is harder than you think. In maths we have been looking at perimeter and area and how you can find them in different shapes. In science we have been learning about the heart and the blood. Your heart is a muscle that pumps your blood around your body. Last night some of us were part of a giant choir singing sea shanties at Liskeard Town Hall for Songfest 2024. We used lots of confidence and really enjoyed ourselves.

Friday 23rd February

In computing we have been learning about cyber bullying. Cyber bullying is when people bully you online. We should tell a trusted adult if it happens. In science we are learning about the circulatory. This is made up of the heart, the blood vessels and the blood. It pumps blood around your body. For English we have been learning the poem the Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll. It has lots of made up words which we have tried to understand. We have learnt it by heart and are performing it today. In maths year 5 have been looking at fractions, decimals and percentages and how you can show a number in all three. In year 6 we are looking at percentages of an amount.
