This week English, learners completed their final formal letter based on the book FArTHER. Learners used their detailed plans, drawing on all of the writer’s knowledge covered throughout the unit. They also incorporated the edits they and their peers made to their drafts using their purple pens to produce their final piece of writing.
Maths
Maths
This week in maths, learners began by exploring prime numbers and linking this learning to last week’s work on fractions. Learners then moved on to squared numbers and used cubes to investigate how a square number must form a complete square for example, arranging cubes in a 3 × 3 layout to show that 9 is a squared number. We continued using the cubes to construct different 3D models, helping learners understand cubed numbers. For instance, building a 3 × 3 × 3 cube demonstrated that 27 is a cubed number.
Science

This week in Science, we explored what makes a scientific investigation a fair test, focusing on the importance of controlling variables. Learners discussed independent and dependent variables and how each one influences an experiment. They were then given a range of scenarios and challenged to identify the different variables within each situation
Enquiry Learning
Enquiry Learning
This week in Enquiry Learning, learners worked in groups and chose to focus on either the Vikings or Ancient Greece. They visited the ICT lab to further develop their knowledge of their chosen civilisation, using online research to deepen their understanding. Each group then created a Google Slide to showcase their findings, which will be added to our display board.

Year 5 Learners had their first experience of partner dictation in this week's lessons.
The activity consists of learners working in pairs with one being the runner and the other being the writer. The runner moves around the classroom and reads sentences, memorising as much of them as they can then reciting them to their writer partner.
Halfway through, everyone swaps round so that they experience both roles.
Points were awarded for accuracy including the correct placement of apostrophes and accents.
Music
Music
A group of enthusiastic Year 5 and 6 musicians enjoyed an inspiring trip to the Bahrain National Theatre, where they attended an educational concert performed by the Bahrain National Orchestra. During the visit, the learners learnt about the different sections of the orchestra and how each family of instruments contributes to the overall sound. They were captivated by a programme that featured traditional Arabic music alongside well-known pieces from the stage and screen, giving them a rich and varied musical experience. The trip left the young musicians buzzing with excitement and a deeper appreciation for orchestral music.

Canteen Acess for Primary Learners
Canteen Acess for Primary Learners
We will begin phasing the purchasing of food from the canteen into Primary from Wednesday, 14th October, starting with Year 6 learners. To support the smooth operation of this process, learner cards will be kept in school and given to students at lunchtime to make purchases.
Please note: learners can only purchase food if they have a card.
If you would like your child to buy lunch from the canteen, you will need to purchase a learner card. Instructions for how to purchase the card can be found spare APP.
Please ensure there is sufficient money loaded onto the card to allow your child to buy food. You can use the SPARE app to top up the card, view what your child has eaten, and purchase meals in advance.
We are aiming to introduce this system to Year 4 and Year 5 learners after the half-term break. We need this time to carefully organise the process so that we can maximise efficiency and ensure a smooth experience for all learners.
We thank you for your patience and understanding during this introductory phase.
In case of any questions, please contact directly support@paywithspare.com
