Redwood Class

Please remember to scroll down the page to see what we have been learning about.

Welcome to Redwood’s Class' information and blog page. Here you will find general class information and see what we have been up to in our learning.

Class teachers		Mrs Toshkezi and Mr Kinch
	Support staff	Mrs Spence Mrs Connelly
	PE days	PE will be on a Monday and a Thursday. Please make sure your child has a PE Kit in school. This needs to simply be a pair of black or navy shorts, a plain white t-shirt and a pair of pumps or trainers for going outside. Black or navy zipped hoodies can also be worn in cold weather. Children can wear their school kit all day on PE days if they wish - please note they are not permitted to wear other sports clothes.
	Homework	Homework will be given out every Friday and will be due the following Thursday giving the children 6 days to complete it. This will consist of a piece of English and Maths. In year 6, this is paper homework which can be written on and returned to school.
	Reading and Computing	Our school expectation is that your child reads at least three times a week at home to an adult. This needs to be recorded in your child's reading record and signed by an adult. This record needs to be brought into school every day. We will check this on a Monday morning and children achieve a reading sticker on their bookmark. Once their bookmark is full they will receive a brand new book to keep as a prize :) If your child needs to change their reading book, they can change it as and when needed. Your child will also have access and passwords to Purple Mash. Their usernames and passwords will be put in their Reading Record Books as soon as we have them all.
	Contact us	If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to speak to us. You can catch us most mornings before school or wait to speak to us after the children have been released to parents/carers at home time. Or you can contact us via our class email address: redwood@newmoston.manchester.sch.uk

We very much look forward to working together this year to ensure that your child has a great last year at New Moston.

In PE we have been testing our reaction skills alongside our throwing and catching skills

A creative afternoon in Redwood Class

Art- Sculptures - Check us out making our sculptures in the style of The Martin Brothers

Rainbow Day

Gulliver's World

The children had the best day at Gulliver's World. They went on plenty of rides and enjoyed the sunshine.

They represented the school impeccably. We hope you enjoy looking at our photos.

Today the children supported the baton relay in support of protecting our environment. In class we made posters and banners which we enjoyed waving as they rode passed.

We loved how many members of the public beeped their horns and waved at us.

We hope you enjoy the pictures.

Sports Day 2024 - Redwood Class are the overall winners

Today in Art, we started our new topic "Sculptures".

Today we began to explore using the clay.

We had to make different objects with the clay. The hardest one to make was a pyramid.

We then got to make a secret animal and the rest of the class had to guess what our animal was.

Empathy Day ❤❤❤❤❤

Well done to Redwood Class - what an amazing attendance - 99.38%.

We are all incredibly proud of you all.

Today Redwood Class went to Manchester City as part of our fieldwork for our Geography learning. We interviewed members of the public to find out the answers to the questions we devised as a class.

Mrs Toshkezi was so proud of us all. We were confident, polite and impeccably behaved.

We did New Moston Primary School proud.

This afternoon, Redwood class worked alongside the Redcross to learn vital first aid. We learnt what to do when a person cuts themselves badly, what to when a person is burnt, what to do if a person is choking and CPR.

We also learnt that we must ensure that it is safe for us to help someone before we start and that it is our responsibility to help others when they need it.

Music in Redwood

Another super reader - Well done Max

Science experiments this week

Today we joined a live event run by Kooth. This was to help us with SATs coming up. We learnt some strategies that we could use if we are starting to worry and feel a little anxious and stressed.

Amazing Readers in Redwood

PE in Redwood

Which book will Redwood choose this time?

Lunchtime Golden Plate winners

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.

Another super reader in Redwood

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.

Easter egg competition winner and runners up.

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.
