Redwood Class

Today we went on a walk so that we could look at the traffic lights and watch the sequence. We learnt that the traffic lights do not follow the sequence of red, amber, green, amber and red instead they follow the sequence of red, red-amber, green, amber and red. We timed how many seconds the traffic lights work for. 

In Science this week we began our topic on forces. We conducted an experiment to see whether the  surface would affect the amount of friction to move an object. Take a look at our pictures. 

Today we had a visitor who came to speak with us about the dangers of gangs. It was a very informative lesson and we all enjoyed it very much. Here are a few of our pictures. 

SATs information. 

Please see below the information shared with parents during a SAT's coffee morning if you were unable to attend. 

Thank you 

WORLD MATHS DAY 

Today in Redwood, we combined Maths with Art to produce the most beautiful Waldrof Star. We hope you enjoy the pictures. 

A massive congratulations to Freya who was a winner of the Eco Warriors bird house competition. 

Well done Freya. We are so very proud of you. We hope you are proud of yourself. 

World Book Day - Break the Rules Day

Redwood have been busy making pop up cards, games and puppets for our reception children to try. They are having a great time. 

Today in Science we conducted an experiment to see how light travels. We really enjoyed it. We learnt that light travels in straight lines. When light hits an object, it is reflected by that object and travels in straight lines to our eyes. Our eyes take in some of this light and information is sent to the brain.

Well done to Pippa and Yu-Ling for completing your reading bookmark. Enjoy reading your books. 

Congratulations to Wisdom and Italia for 100% attendance so far this academic year. Amazing achievement guys. Well done to both of you. 

My stars this week are Summer for excellent Reading, Daniel for some super writing in our English lessons, Ellen for excellent Handwriting and Taim for being an absolute Maths genius. Well done to all of you. We are really proud of you all. 

Check out our super readers. These children have completed their home reads and now have their very own book to keep. Well done guys. Redwood are super proud of you. 

Design Technology Day

Today we put our design into practice. We made our fruit taquitos. We learnt new skills along the way. Kneading dough, measuring ingredients accurately, cooking the taquito as well as creating a filling. Take a look at our pictures. 

In History we took on the role of different people in WW1. Take a look at our pictures. 

Check out this guy. He's absolutely loving reading at the moment. He can't put this book down. Reading at any opportunity. Well done Reegan. 

Who will get my postcard home this week? 

Is it going to be you? 

Have a think, have you gone above and beyond this week? Can you go above and beyond next week? 

We had a visit from the NSPCC. We learnt about different ways in which we can keep ourselves safe.  Take a look at our pictures. 

A lovely afternoon spent with our parents and carers. We enjoyed showing them all what skills we have learnt and our amazing end products.  Our parents and carers did a fantastic job creating their own eyes and lips. 

A massive thank you to all that were able to attend. 

Welcome back to the new term.

This term our main topic is "Can any good come out of war?" We will be learning about: Germany’s invasion of Poland  which caused France and Britain to go to war with them, 

how many children were evacuated from cities to live in the country side, due to transport issues, all food was rationed and many people started to grow their own food.

We will be using the book Goodnight Mr Tom as part of our English lessons and Whole Class Reading to support us with our understanding of war. 

Please take a look at our Topic Plan. 

Myself, Mrs Spence and Mrs Baxter would like to wish you all a wonderful and restful Christmas break. 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to each and every one. 

Lots of love

SNEAK PREVIEW

Take a sneak preview of just some of the amazing artwork that will be on display for you all to see. 

Today Year 6 took part in "What's your job?" focusing on careers and aspirations. A group of volunteers came into school organised by the North Manchester Business Network and the children had to guess the jobs by asking questions. We hope you enjoy our pictures. 

This afternoon Redwood class participated in an  Empathy Plus Migration workshop  with the British Red Cross. We really enjoyed the session and Dan, who delivered it, was very impressed with out knowledge which we have developed in English and our Class Story The Boy at the Back of the Class.

Please find the below the information from the SAT's Parents Meeting being held on Tuesday 7th March.7

Mrs Toshkezi 

Today in Design Technology Mrs Toshkezi gave us the challenge of building the strongest bridge which would have to hold a cup of coins.

About 10 minutes into our construction Mrs Toshkezi asked us to consider what was working and what was not working. We realised that the shorter the columns of the bridge the stronger it would be. We also thought about how the distance between each end of the bridge might affect the strength.

We discussed that our bridge needs to withstand forces pushing down upon them.  The bridge must be able to endure tension and compression.

Some of us where more successful than others. 

The strongest bridge built was by Mason, Ava, Brooke, Samuel and Denzel. 

Great job guys! 

My stars this week are: Brooke for excellent retrieval skills in our Whole Class Reading lessons.  

Treasure for great improvements with her handwriting, Kyle for an absolute super week and finally to Jacob for some fantastic learning throughout the week in Maths.

GoodNight Mr Tom - Michelle Magorian. 

Over the next few weeks we will be studying the book Goodnight Mr Tom by Michelle Magorian in our English lessons. We will also need to use all our knowledge from our topic "What would life be like if Germany had won WW2? 

 Here is the blurb for the book. 

Willie Beech is evacuated to a tiny English village in the country just before the outbreak of World War II. A lonely and deprived child, he finds himself living with the reclusive, gruff old widower, Thomas Oakley. Although the two find it hard to adjust to their life together at first, they gradually develop a strong, mutual bond. Willie begins to enjoy life and make new friends in the village.

However, everything is thrown into confusion when Willie is suddenly recalled to London by his neglectful and abusive mother. After several weeks with no letter from Willie, Tom Oakley becomes concerned for his welfare and sets out to London in search of him.

Have a think about what things you might expect to read about? Who are the characters? Can you draw any conclusions about the characters from the information from the blurb?  Can you predict what might happen? Ask yourself, why do you think this? What words make you think this about the characters?

Can you think of any other books that have a similar theme? 

Vocabulary from the blurb

Look at the words below. They have been taken from the blurb. 

OUTBREAK           DEPRIVED       RECLUSIVE      ADJUST     MUTUAL       WELFARE

Do you know what they mean? What do you think they mean? Can you think of synonyms for these words?   How many synonyms can you come up with?  Can you use these words in your own sentences?

Let me know- I cannot wait to hear your ideas and get started on this book!

ENGLISH IN REDWOOD CLASS

In our English lessons we have been looking at the book The War Game. 

We have really enjoyed reading this book and getting to know the four main characters: Lacey, Billy, Freddie and Will. 

We now know that each of these characters have different personalities as we can tell this by their actions. 

Will is cautious as he does not want to go to war. Freddie is quite mature and thinks it is the right thing for him to go to war as it is the responsible thing to do. Billy gets very excited and is quite immature and Lacey is Billy's older brother and will only go to war in order to look after his brother. 

We are doing lots of learning around this book, developing our use of good vocabulary, developing our knowledge of characters as well as recapping previous learning on grammatical structures such as phrases and clauses. 

We look forward to sharing our learning with you all. 

My stars this week are Yara for always producing learning that is beautifully presented and to JJ for using some fantastic pieces of vocabulary during our Topic lesson about what qualities you need to have to be a good leader. 

My stars this week are Keira Watson for always producing beautiful learning in all lessons and to Ameila Abernethey for always putting 100% in all that you do and with the biggest smile upon your face.

The Blurb

" Trucks and donkeys, cars and camels, carts and buses... the bustling streets of Cairo are exciting, but today Ahmed will share his secret, which is even more exciting."

What do you think the book will be about? What will Ahmed's secret be? Where do you think Ahmed is from? Can you make predictions?
