Year 5 enjoyed reading their Spy Narrative stories to some of the Year 3 children last week! Year 5 had worked hard to create their spy and villain descriptions, as well as enticing the reader in to their atmospheric settings! The feedback from Year 3 was pretty impressive! Well done Year 5!

Spy Day finally arrived in Year 5 last Thursday and the class came to school disguised in their amazing spy outfits! They looked brilliant! Year 5's classroom had been transformed into Spy Headquarters and the morning was spent finding clues, cracking codes, practising spy moves, such as the "brush past", and making the spy gadgets that they'd designed. Add to this some invisible writing and watching the film of their class text "Stormbreaker" in the afternoon and an action packed and fun day was had by all! Well done Year 5! Mrs Blomeley (aka Agent Blomovich!)

Year 5 have been practising their square numbers since September, singing and marching to the "Square Number" song - "A square number is the product of a number with itself!" Last week they made squares, using foam squares, and realised that they needed the actual amount of square numbers to create the perfect square! Mrs Blomeley

Year 5 and Year 6 are currently taking part in The Hummingbird Project , which is a six week Positive Education intervention. The Project is designed to give pupils the tools they need to be as happy, healthy, and productive as possible. So far the children have taken part in workshops about happiness, mindfulness, gratitude, kindness, character strengths, and resilience. These include fun activities that help them to understand how to put these ideas into practice and, most importantly, help them to feel good about the future.
After our very successful October reading challenge, the Reading Ambassadors have set a new one. Please complete a book review on one of your favourite books using the template which will be sent home. Please hand in your completed book review to your teacher by Friday 20th January for the chance of winning a prize. The best book reviews will be sent to Tameside Libraries who will display them on their Twitter feed.
I can't wait to find out which books you have all been reading!
Miss Harvey and the Reading Ambassadors
