Literacy

This week in Literacy, the students delved deeper into The Paperbag Prince, exploring the story’s themes and characters through discussion and reflection. They demonstrated excellent comprehension and critical thinking as they considered the impact of the poison pool introduced in the text. We also introduced modal verbs and explored how these can be used to express certainty, possibility, and obligation—skills they applied in a real-world context. The highlight of the week was their persuasive writing task: students wrote compelling letters to the local council, urging them to remove the harmful poison pool. Using powerful language, well-reasoned arguments, and their growing understanding of environmental responsibility, every student successfully persuaded the notoriously budget-conscious council to take action. A fantastic effort all around!

IPC 

Geography Task 3 – We continued our exploration of the Earth’s interior by creating 3D models using papier-mâché, balloons, and paper plates. These creative projects helped the students visualise and understand the different layers of the Earth in a hands-on and memorable way. We’ll complete them next week when we have more time in the Art room, and I can’t wait to see the finished results!

Geography Task 4 – The students also began learning about plate boundaries. They have started designing models to show divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries, which will form part of an exciting interactive display we’ll be assembling next week.

Useful Information

I’ve shared a Google Form with all parents regarding our upcoming class trip on Monday, June 2nd. Please complete the form to confirm that you’re happy for your child to return to school at 4:20pm, rather than the usual 3:20pm. Once I have received confirmation, I will go ahead and finalise the venue bookings.

Please remember that on May 5th, 6th, and 7th the school will be closed for all students. 

On May 8th staff and students will have school photographs taken, so please send your child to school in, or with, their school uniform. 

I hope you all have a wonderful 5 days off together!  

Ms. Temple 🙂

Hello everyone,

We have had such glorious weather this week. Let’s hope it stays that way!

Here is what Year 5/6 have been up to this week:

Maths:

Year 5

Shape	Sum.1.7 – Calculate angles on a straight line
Shape	Sum.1.8 – Lengths and angles in shapes
Shape	Sum.1.9 – Regular and irregular polygons

Statistics	Spr.6.3 – Read and interpret pie charts

Literacy

This week in Literacy, we continued reading more of The Paperbag Prince and discussed the story’s themes and illustrations. We focused on modal verbs such as should, might, and must, and practised writing our own sentences using them. The children enjoyed experimenting with different levels of certainty in their writing. We also looked closely at pictures from the book and wrote comparative sentences. These sentences included subordinating conjunctions like although, while, and because to add depth and detail. The class showed great creativity and care in their writing throughout the week.

IPC 

Geography Task 1 – The students completed their presentations on different biomes this week. They delivered their work with confidence and enthusiasm, while their classmates listened carefully, took thoughtful notes, and asked some very insightful questions.

Geography Task 2 – The students focused on how to use and interpret different types of maps and graphs. We started by looking at a range of physical and digital maps, including political maps, biome maps, and climate maps. We discussed how different maps show different types of information and why mapmakers sometimes have to distort the shape or size of countries.

The children then worked in small groups to compare geographical data for two countries of their choice. Using maps and graphs, they explored differences in climate, population, physical features, and land use. They recorded their findings by making pictographs and began to draw conclusions about how geography affects the way people live in different parts of the world. The students showed fantastic teamwork, great curiosity, and developing skills in analysing geographical information.

Geography Task 3 – On Friday, we began Geography Task 3 by exploring what lies beneath the surface of the Earth. The children learned about the four main layers: the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. Working in groups, they researched each layer to find out what it is made of, whether it is solid or liquid, its temperature, and any interesting facts. The children recorded their findings and discussed how the structure of the Earth helps to explain natural events like earthquakes and volcanoes.

Next week, the children will use the information they gathered to create detailed models of the Earth’s layers, complete with labels and key facts.

Useful Information

As the weather continues to warm up quickly, we are enjoying more time outdoors for PE lessons. To help keep everyone safe in the sun, it would be a good idea for your child to have a hat and sunscreen available. These can be kept in their lockers at school for easy access when needed. 

Have a lovely weekend!  

Ms. Temple 🙂

Literacy

This week in Literacy, we started our new focus text The Paperbag Prince by Colin Thompson. After reading the first few pages, the students made thoughtful predictions using clues from the front cover and the story so far. Since the book explores themes around recycling and caring for the environment, we also had some meaningful discussions about the uses and dangers of plastic.

The students took part in a class debate on the statement, “All Year 5/6 students should stop using plastic completely.” I was so impressed with the way they shared their ideas, listened to one another, and communicated their points clearly. To build on this, they carried out research and wrote persuasive texts aimed at encouraging the wider HFS community to reduce plastic use.

It’s been a fantastic start to our new unit, with strong connections between reading, discussion, and writing.

IPC 

Entry Point – This week, we began our exciting new unit, What a Wonderful World. As part of our first task, the students were challenged to create their own calendars inspired by natural wonders. Each group researched twelve incredible natural sites from around the globe and carefully included them in their designs. Once all groups have completed their calendars, I will print them out so the students can take them home and proudly share their work.

Knowledge Harvest –  The children were challenged to draw the world from memory, including continents, oceans, climate zones and key geographical features like the Equator and the Tropics. It was a great way to see what they already know, and it sparked some brilliant conversations about the world we live in.

Geography Task 1 – Towards the end of the week, we started our first Geography task, where the children began learning about biomes. Each group chose a biome to research and prepared either a poster, a short presentation, or a documentary script to teach the rest of the class. 

Useful Information

Due to the change of schedule, homework will be sent home on a Friday. This means that students need to bring their homework by Friday but are welcome to bring it earlier if they wish. 

Have a lovely weekend!  

Ms. Temple 🙂

From Mr Green…

• The umbrella that I bought last week is already broken.
• The man who stole my backpack has been arrested.
• The weather that we had this summer was beautiful.

IPC

We continued our unit ‘What Price Progress?’ by investigating plastics. The student made presentations about different types of plastics and considered the benefits and harmful effects of plastics on our world. We particularly enjoyed investigating this website that models where plastics deposited in the ocean from different places in the world will end up.

We also made an inventory of all the different types of technology used around the school and that are used in our daily lives.

Don’t Forget

• After-school activities start next week – there is still time to sign-up
• Homework was sent home on Thursday and is due on Thursday
• Music is now on Wednesday and there is some homework to do
• PE is on Tuesday and Thursdays

Have a great weekend, and welcome back to Ms Temple next week!

Hello everyone!

I can’t believe we’re already in the final week of Term 2! The weather has certainly improved—just in time for the break. Wishing everyone a safe and wonderful holiday, however you choose to spend it!

I have sent home some optional Maths review work to help students refresh their knowledge over the break. Both year groups will have an end-of-unit assessment in the first week back, so I strongly encourage them to complete this a few days beforehand to stay sharp, as a two-week break can feel like a long time away from Maths. This work is for their own benefit and does not need to be returned to me.

See you all in Term 3!

Ms. Temple 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

In Literacy this week, we continued exploring The Monkey King and discussed why he was imprisoned in the Buddha’s palm. The students made thoughtful predictions about how his story might connect with Kai’s journey, considering what challenges she may face along the way.

We also took a closer look at the characters of Kai and her mum, identifying their key personality traits and discussing how these qualities could help them in their quests. The students shared insightful ideas about determination, bravery, and resilience, considering why these traits are important for overcoming obstacles.

It’s been a great week of discussion and critical thinking, setting the stage for deeper exploration of the story in the weeks ahead!

IPC 

History Task 1 – The students engaged in a thought-provoking activity to explore some of history’s most significant inventions and discoveries. Working in small groups, they were given a set of nine historical inventions from a particular time period. Their challenge was to collaborate and rank them in a Diamond 9 formation, deciding which had the greatest impact on human life.

Through discussion and debate, students considered key factors such as how widely an invention was used, whether it saved lives, and how it shaped the world. After sharing their rankings with the class, they had the opportunity to adjust their decisions based on new perspectives.

History Task 2 – This week, our Year 5/6 students delved into the Great Exhibition of 1851, a groundbreaking event in Victorian Britain that brought together the world’s most innovative inventions and technological marvels under one roof. Working in groups, they became young historians and researchers, investigating revolutionary advancements in transport, communication, medicine, and more. Each group explored two key inventions, uncovering fascinating details about their inventors, purpose, and impact on society. They then compiled their findings into informative fact files and arranged them into a timeline, tracing the evolution of these groundbreaking discoveries.

Literacy

With both Independence Movement Day and International Day giving us time off this week, we only had one literacy session. We made the most of it by diving into the first few pages of our exciting new focus text, Kai and the Monkey King. After reading, the students were challenged to use clues from the story to make predictions about what they think will happen next. They considered the characters, setting, and early events to form their ideas, sparking some great discussions about possible twists and turns in the narrative.

IPC 

Entry Point – For our new unit the students explored the concept of invention and how it connects to problem-solving. They began with an activity, where they responded to thought-provoking questions about innovation, sustainability, and the impact of new technology. After discussing their ideas, they worked in groups to start designing their own prototypes using a variety of materials. Each group selected a challenge and considered their invention’s functionality, key features, target audience, and environmental impact. Although they didn’t have time to complete their models, they will finish building them on Monday. Once completed, they will present their inventions to me, and I will take on the role of a rich investor deciding which product to fund. The students will need to explain how their invention meets the design criteria and why it deserves investment. This activity will help them refine their presentation skills and think critically about how inventions can positively shape the world.

Useful Information

• We will be taking a trip to the Busan Science Museum on Wednesday 19th March. The school will contribute 10,000 won to this trip and the children will be asked to pay 2,000 won to cover the costs of the additional activities.

Literacy

Most students have completed their diary entries from the perspectives of Anne Frank, Rosa Parks, or Greta Thunberg. It has been a pleasure to read their work and see how much they have learned about these remarkable individuals.

This week we started looking at our new focus text “Kai and the Monkey King” which follows Kai, a young girl who longs for adventure like her storyteller grandmother. When she sets out to find the legendary Monkey King, she discovers that heroes aren’t always what they seem. Through her journey, Kai learns the value of wisdom, trust, and finding her own path.

Before diving into the text, students explored key facts about Ancient China, gaining insight into its rich history and culture. They were also introduced to important vocabulary they will encounter throughout the unit, helping to build their understanding and confidence as they engage with the topic.

IPC 

Science Task 9: The students took their learning beyond the classroom with an exciting Electricity Pioneers Fact Hunt! As part of our IPC unit on forces and electricity, students searched around the school to find hidden fact sheets about key scientists who contributed to our understanding of electricity, including Benjamin Franklin, Alessandro Volta, Michael Faraday, and Nikola Tesla.

Once they found the information, they worked in pairs to complete a fact file, identifying each scientist’s key discoveries and their impact on the world. Back in the classroom, we discussed their findings and how these inventors shaped the way we use electricity today. This interactive activity encouraged teamwork, research skills, and critical thinking

Exit Point: This was the final lesson of our current 🤣 unit. The students explored the importance of saving energy and how small changes can make a big difference. Working in pairs, they researched key topics such as why energy conservation matters, common energy-wasting habits, the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy, and practical ways to reduce energy use. They also discovered fun facts about energy to make their presentation engaging for the whole school.

After completing their research, students created individual slides and combined them into a full presentation. On Friday, they confidently delivered their presentation in assembly, sharing their knowledge with the entire school. Their presentation was not only informative but also engaging, with clear explanations and eye-catching visuals. The school was impressed by their presentation skills, and many students and teachers commented on how much they learned about energy conservation.

This experience helped students develop teamwork, research, and public speaking skills, while also raising awareness about the importance of saving energy. Well done to all the students for their amazing efforts! 👏🌍💡

We will be starting our new IPC unit next week titled “What Price Progress” where we will be exploring how advancing science and technology shape our lives and how we can develop new technologies in a way that is sustainable. Through our investigations, we will consider how innovations meet our needs without compromising the needs of future generations.

Useful Information

• Our new schedule will start this week. PE will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays from now on. 

Have a lovely weekend!  

Ms. Temple 🙂

Hello everyone,

Thank you to all the parents who attended the Parent-Teacher Conferences. It was a pleasure to share your child’s successes and discuss areas for growth. I truly appreciate these conversations, as they help me better understand how we can all work together to support your child’s learning.

Literacy

This week marked the final week of our unit on Malala’s Magic Pencil. After drawing inspiration from Malala’s story, the students were challenged to research other influential women who stood up for themselves and persevered through hardships. Working in groups, they researched and created presentations on Rosa Parks, Anne Frank, or Greta Thunberg.

Following their presentations, each student chose a different influential woman (one they had not researched themselves) and wrote a diary entry from her perspective, using the notes they took while watching their classmates’ presentations. They also applied key writing skills, such as using parentheses to add extra detail.

The effort and creativity they put into this task were truly impressive, and I can’t wait to read their finished diary entries next week!

Next week, we will be starting our new unit based on our focus text: “Kai and the Monkey King”. 

IPC 

Science Task 6 – The students investigated electrical conductors and insulators through a hands-on experiment. They predicted whether materials like metal, plastic, wood, an apple, and graphite (pencil lead) would allow electricity to pass, then tested them using a simple circuit. They discovered that metals conduct electricity, plastics and wood act as insulators, and graphite is a weak conductor (semiconductor). We also discussed why conductors and insulators are important for electrical safety.

Science Task 7 – The students learned how electricity reaches our homes. We discussed how power stations generate electricity using coal, gas, wind, or solar energy. They explored how electricity travels through high-voltage transmission lines to substations, where the voltage is reduced before being distributed to homes, schools, and factories.To reinforce their learning, students worked with pictures and explanations of this process, putting them in the correct order to show how electricity flows from power stations to everyday use.

Science Task 8 – In this lesson, we explored various types of energy sources, discussing which are sustainable and which are not. Students then conducted research on different energy sources used to generate electricity, including coal, wind, hydro (water), solar, and nuclear. They examined how each source operates, its advantages and disadvantages, and its environmental impact. Rather than creating posters, students chose to design Canva presentations to present their findings. Working in pairs, they created engaging slides and highlighted key facts about their chosen energy source.

Useful Information

• For vocabulary homework, students are encouraged to research the words independently and add their own understanding to the provided definitions. They are then asked to study both the spellings and meanings in preparation for their vocabulary assessment on Wednesdays. Some students raised a valid concern about not being sure if their answers are correct before the test. To address this, I will now be emailing the answers to parents, allowing them to check their children’s answers prior to the assessment. However, I encourage students to first try finding the answers on their own. This approach will help them retain the information more effectively and better prepare them for the group reading and discussions that will take place in class. 

• In March, there will be a slight change to the schedule: PE will move from Friday’s last lesson to Thursday’s last lesson. This change is due to an update in our access to the college pitch, which will now only be available for booking on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Since we share PE with Ms. Leah’s class on Thursdays, this will give us more space to make the most of our lessons. Plus, with warmer weather on the way, we’ll finally be able to enjoy some fresh air during PE! I will keep you posted and will send home a copy of the new schedule closer to the time. 

Have a lovely weekend!

This week, after finishing Malala’s Magic Pencil last week, we explored her biography For the Right to Learn, which provided a deeper look into the key events of her life. Students worked in groups to create blog posts from Malala’s perspective, allowing them to engage with her story in a more personal way. They then peer-assessed each other’s work, helping them refine their writing and consider different viewpoints.

To build on our discussions about Malala’s influence, students began a research project on three inspirational women: Rosa Parks, Anne Frank, and Greta Thunberg. Each group is researching one of these figures, focusing on how they overcame challenges and made a lasting impact on the world. They will present their findings next week.

IPC 

Science Task 2 – Students explored the inner workings of batteries, learning about their components and how they store and release energy. To assess their prior knowledge, they took part in a true-or-false quiz, which sparked some interesting discussions and helped clarify common misconceptions about electricity.

Science Task 3 – A highlight of the week was when our Year 5/6 students became mentors to the younger Year 1/2 students in Mrs. Sim’s class. After conducting their own investigations into how circuits work, they guided the younger students in building their own circuits to power bulbs, motors, and buzzers. I was incredibly proud of their patience, encouragement, and ability to explain concepts in a way the younger students could understand.

Science Task 4 – To reinforce their learning, students took part in a school-wide circuit challenge. Each student received a set of circuit-related questions and had to search around the school for the corresponding answers. This required keen observation, critical thinking, and teamwork. While the challenge was tricky, the students showed great determination and problem-solving skills to complete it successfully!

Science Task 5 – To wrap up the week, students developed their scientific drawing skills by learning how to create accurate circuit diagrams. They practiced using the correct electrical symbols and gained a deeper understanding of how diagrams represent real-life circuits. This important skill will help them as they continue their investigations into electricity.
