Welcome to C7EL – Year 5/6

Miss Lenton and Mr Gardner

Hello and welcome back to the Spring at Carr Mill Primary School. Over the last week the children and I have been busy getting to know each other and the other staff who support our learning; Mr Gardner.

Homework and reading expectations

Every week, children should read at home at least 4 times and have this recorded in their reading records (one of these sessions should be Reading Plus). Reading records will be checked on a Wednesday.  The children should record what they have read, and then write 2 sentences about this. All entries will need to be signed by an adult.

Homework is given out at the beginning of each new learning challenge. A topic sheet with several homework activities will be stuck in the home learning journal.

Each week the children can choose one activity they prefer to do in their journal and hand this in as normal.  There will also be a spelling sheet sent home; this indicates which spellings the children will be focusing on each week.  For Maths we are asking the children to go onto TT Rockstars. The expectation is 10 minutes per week on the games.

Key information

PE sessions for Class 7 are Monday afternoon (outdoor) and Thursday afternoon (swimming). Please ensure that the children have the correct PE kit in school (for outdoor PE, children will need plain jogging bottoms, a plain jumper and trainers).

Thank you for your continued support, Miss Lenton.

In Years 3 and 4 Julius Caesar was the inspiration. The pupils each designed and made a printing block. These prints were combined with a sculpture to represent the theme ‘Revenge’.

Years 5 and 6 were studying Hamlet and as well as some sketches to represent the story, they also created multi media images.

Each class were challenged to create an exploding book for their play to celebrate World Book Day.

150 Years of St Helens Celebration

Date: 11/11/2018

St Helens is celebrating it’s 150th birthday this year. We have joined a group of St Helens schools to create an art gallery in the town centre celebrating our town.

Artist Dave Bixter worked with a group of children in school to produce some stunning collaborative art work. 

The children learned new drawing and sketching techniques such as continuous line drawing and using a pin hole viewfinder to look very closely at what they are drawing.

The artwork is currently being displayed in St Helens town centre in the shop windows along Church Street and inside Parish Church. Please take the time to visit and have a look!

Well done to those children whose work is exhibited, the results of your work are outstanding!
