Computing

Children need to continue to work on the fluency of their typing. In school the children are independently logging on to the computer, opening Word, finding the document they saved last week and again writing the sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." (this includes all letters plus a full stop, spaces and capitals). This week we will be looking at how to insert pictures into their document and change the size and position of the picture plus recapping what we did last week with inserting shapes and filling them.

In our second Computing session we made the insides for our Christmas cards. The children learned how to change the layout to landscape, change the margins, centre their writing and then insert a picture. Finally we printed out their work ready for their Christmas cards

P.E

Yoga

R.E

How and why do we celebrate special and sacred times? In school we are thinking about our own lives but also linking back to what we have learned about Muslims and Jewish people. Once we have reflected on this, we will start to think specifically about Christmas and what this means to us in the UK. The children will draw things they associate with Christmas and will be reminded of the nativity story from the Bible. Next week we will start to look at how Christmas is celebrated around the world.

We are learning to write information sentences. Here is some information about the Gunpowder Plot, Gunpowder Plot Comprehension which we have been learning about in History. Read the information and then have a go at answering the questions. 

Now write some information sentences in your homework book giving some information about the Gunpowder Plot and Bonfire Night. Please remember capital letters at the beginning of sentences and full stops at the end of sentences.

We are learning to use generalisers in our information sentences. Read the PowerPoint and practise using generalisers in your sentences. Generalisers Powerpoint

We are working on making sure our sentences start with capital letters and end with full stops. Some of us have forgotten some of our capital letters so we are going to be working on our handwriting and letter formation to make sure our tall letter and capital letters stand tall and our small and low letters are clear. Remind yourself of all the capitals  Capital letters handwriting then practise these in your homework book on our lines.

History

Look at the pictures and look at the statements. You need to be a Historian and work out which pictures prove the statements to be true as we always need evidence before we can believe anything.

Alice has been busy this week. Here she is looking at a map of the world and she has also been working on her typing skills. She wrote me a lovely letter telling me all about her week.

Fancy doing something a little different?

Miss Craven has shared  with teachers some origami she has been doing with her Y6 class. 

If you fancy doing some too here is one a little easier for you to have a go at.

You will need to show some determination and perseverance to succeed. 

I'd love to see what you make

Thankyou to all the children who have shown or told  me about the work they are doing at home, Marvellous Mes on their way.

Don't forget if you are working at home, email and tell me about it too.

Anyone for yoga?

Why don't you have a go at some yoga today? 

Yoga Class for Kids

I've had a go and it's lots of fun and really good to improve posture, balance, focus plus lots more

Has your child used Hit the Button recently?

It's a great website for children aged 5-11 to help them to learn those all important number facts that so much of their Maths work is based upon. 

• They can start by learning the number facts which make 10, then move on to making 20 or 100.
• Also the children need to learn by heart doubling and halving facts for different numbers.
• This website also allows the children to work on individual or mixed times tables. Both multiplication and division. Feel free to make this part of the children's daily routine whilst off school, it's fun and can only help their mental recall.
  

Phonics Recap

In class we have been recapping the Set 2 sounds. 

The children did well remembering the sounds, they could mostly blend the sounds together to read the words but needed work when moving on to reading the words speedily (without overt sounding) which is the next step. 

Here are the sounds Set 2 and 3 Speed Sound Book

Please encourage your child to tell you the sound, blend the sound to read the word but then move on to being able to read the words speedily without the need for sounding out. This is where the fluency with their reading will improve.

  In Art last week, we began to look at how to create light and dark lines by changing the way we held our pencils. Show your child the grids below to show we can also create light and dark by the amount of lines and space. Can they do the same? Can they think of something they might draw where this technique might be useful?

  

  
  
  

  
  

  
  
  

  
  

Well done Libby for showing such a great attitude to your work this week. 

Her independent attitude to her Maths and English has already impressed her Dad and me.

A great role model to the others!

Dear Derwent Class,

What a funny year it has been, I was so looking forward to spending a whole year with you, but it wasn't to be. It might only have been short (for some of you) but what a pleasure it has been to be your teacher. I have no doubt that you will move on to Year 3 or Year 4 and do your very best with whatever is put in front of you. Please enjoy a rest over the summer holidays and return to school in September ready to wow your teacher and friends with all that you can do. Thank you to families too, for all the support they have given, it really is appreciated, it only works if we all work together. Goodbye for now, I can't wait to see you all (if from a distance) in September,

lots and lots of love,

Mrs Burton

Writing

Children should learn to write for different purposes and different audiences but remember if they cannot speak in sentences using good vocabulary they will not be able to write in sentences using good vocabulary. So encourage children to speak in sentences, introduce them to new vocabulary (explaining what it means) and orally rehearse what they are going to write first.
Expose children to new experiences, this has an impact on their writing too.

Peregrines - here is an All About Me message from Mrs Pierce and Mrs Mack who will be working with you and Mrs Longfield in your class next year

Hello, my name is Mrs Pierce and I am a teaching assistant that has worked at school for nearly 12 years. Having established the Community Hub (school library) 4 years ago I also enjoy look after the library, including opening it to the wider community every other Saturday. I am looking forward to the new school year when I will be working in Peregrine Class with Mrs Longfield. I know most of the children who attend our school but it will be great to get to know some of you better. I am also looking forward to welcoming back our toddlers for story time on a Tuesday afternoon.

I enjoy being part of the 'Friends of Carlton Primary School', helping to organise events and raise money to support the pupils of our school and enhance the overall school experience.

I live in Newland (which is just 3 miles from Carlton) and I have family who live in Drax and Carlton, which is great as we are a really close family. I have two children, Dan who is now 16 and going into 6th form and Jess who is 14 and going into year 10 at The Snaith School.  Both my children were pupils at this school and really enjoyed their time here. 

When I am not in work I love listening to music and sing. I have been a member of Selby Rock choir for more than 10 years and I thoroughly enjoy our weekly sessions and performances to the public. I also love to go and watch musicals at the theatre and when I get chance I Like to swim and run.

I am looking forward to a rest and some family time over the summer and I am looking forward to working with you in September.

Hello everyone. I am Mrs Mackintosh (or for short Mrs Mack) I am really looking forward to seeing you all and being your HLTA & Teaching Assistant in September!

I know it may feel a little strange to be back in school but don’t worry, we will work as a team to support one another and get through it.

As some of you know, I teach french and art  in school but did you know I love to bake?!

Baking is my preferred pastime at the moment. I bake a variety of cakes and cheesecakes, which the staff and children throughout school will say are quite delicious!
Especially the staff as they are my cake tasters! I’m sure they don’t mind!
I even entered my first competition, the Carlton Fete Bake Off 2020!
I came 1st!
Always have a go, you could surprise yourself - anything is possible!

What is your favourite cake and why?

My love of art began when I was a young child myself and it has grown throughout my adult life. It will be a pleasure to help guide, support and inspire your artistic visions.

Once again, I’m really looking forward to seeing you all in September, keep safe and well.
