Year 5

Year 5's Visitor

As part of our PSHE curriculum and linked to the celebration of the 800 years of the Magana Carta, Year 5 had the honour to be visited by Bracknell Forest Councillor Mr Marc Brunel-Walker.

He explained to us what his job is, how the council works and gave us some inside information of what Bracknell Town Centre will look like after the regeneration takes place.

The children listened very carefully and had the chance to ask their own questions to Mr Brunel-Walker.

We even were invited to visit the Mayor's Chamber in the near future! Watch this space!

French Website

To make learning French more interesting and enable the children to continue learning at home, we have subscribed to a languages website, full of games and fun ways to practise.

The website is http://www.linguascope.com/

I would like to encourage all the children to use the website at home and make the most of this fantastic resource.

Spellings

From January 2015 the class will be taking a different approach to studying spellings.

The children may come home talking about "Chimping" words.

The following is a guideline to what this means and how it helps the children learn their spellings better.

'Zip it, Block it, Flag it' (13th November 2014)

The children in Year 5 were taught about the government E-Safety awareness campaign using this slogan:

They then made some e-safety leaflets for the rest of the school, to act as a reminder about staying safe. Please click on the links below to see some of their efforts!
