Today we had a visit from a local historian Mr Lanigan. He gave us a fantastic talk about the history of Kirton placing it in line with the history of Britain. he made history come alive with lots of interesting artefacts ! He kindly gave us all a half penny to take home dated 1967 !!! A huge thank you for visiting our school and sharing with us your extensive knowledge of local history. A mathematics workshop was held last Thursday to which all parent's and grandparent's were invited. A workshop was a huge success !! The four calculation methods were visited and discussed in detail as well as the mathematical language used for each one. Everyone who attended enjoyed the session with their children went home saying they felt more secure with how to help and support their child at home with mathematics homework. A huge thank you to everyone that attended. Literacy has been both fun and challenging this term with lots of different text types to study. Wow !! What amazing talent we have in our class !!! Judged by our excellent panel of famous judges from Blake Walsh to Casey Cole many acts got through to the next round and only a special guest Mrs MacFarlane was buzzed off by Mr Blake Walsh !! We look forward to the next round !!! We have been working really hard to challenge our selves in mathematics this term and deepen our understanding through the use of manipulatives and good careful discussion. We applied our mathematics skills to cooking fantastic cakes this week !!! The cakes were excellent despite a slight spill of the baking powder !!!!
As head of security Blake had to ensure the Year 5 wedding ran smoothly. As guests arrived they were shown to their seats in the church depending on whether they were guests of the bride or groom! The new Sheeran class have had an excellent start to the year !! They are busy in literacy writing recounts of the first man landing on the moon !! The whole experience of Year 5 has started brilliantly !!!!
We built a human model of the Solar System !! We learnt the order of the planets by organising ourselves in groups. Then we decided the distance were not all the same. So we made a scaled down version on the field !!! The distances are huge !! Did you know the Earth is 149,600,000 Kilometres distance away from the Sun !!
