This week we began writing our cliffhanger narrative inspired by The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Teachers modelled how to use each section of our plan and turn it into a detailed paragraph, making sure to include the writer’s knowledge we have developed throughout the unit.
Learners then wrote their own paragraphs independently. We repeated this process for all five paragraphs of the narrative, building confidence in structuring a cliffhanger and applying the writing techniques we have been practising.

This week we began our new unit on multiplication and division. We started by exploring how to multiply two-digit numbers using the grid method, helping learners build a clear understanding of place value and how multiplication works.
We then extended this learning by introducing the column method for multiplying two-digit numbers. This ensured learners developed a range of strategies and could choose the method that works best for them.
Finally, we applied the column method to multiply two-digit numbers by three-digit numbers, focusing on understanding when and why we “drop the zero” as a placeholder. Learners showed great engagement as they practised these increasingly challenging calculations.
📢 Exciting Enrichment Opportunities
Learners can also take part in exciting external maths challenges:
Human Calculator – Sign up using this link
AMS Olympiad – Full details available here
These opportunities are a great way for learners to extend their problem-solving skills beyond the classroom.
Science
Science
This week we learned about pulleys, levers and gears, exploring how these simple machines have a big impact in science and everyday life. We looked at real-world examples, such as cranes to demonstrate pulleys and wheelbarrows to show how levers work.
We then linked this learning back to our fairgrounds unit in Enquiry Learning, helping learners see how these forces are used in familiar contexts. To finish the unit, learners completed their end-of-unit assessment on forces.
Enquiry Learning
Enquiry Learning
This week, learners visited the computer suite to research simple machines, focusing on gears, levers or pulleys. They created informative posters about their chosen machine and shared their learning with the group. Using the knowledge they gained, learners then began planning their own fairground model rides. They carefully considered the equipment and materials needed, as well as how their rides could be made to move.

Playing a true or false game was a big hit with our Year 5 learners this week. Sat in a big circle out in the shared area, learners took it in turns to say a statement about what they were wearing. It was up to everyone else to listen carefully and to then decide if it was true or false.
We also played a game where everyone had a sentence in either French or English and they had to work their way around and find their partner. It was a great way to practise our reading skills.

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
