Today we finished our play scripts for the story of Perseus and Medusa. Please continue your play script and try to get it finished. You can email your script if you’ve done it on a computer or bring it in to school with you next week. We’d love to read them.
Maths
Today we looked at dividing by partitioning using our multiplication and division facts.
So if we know that 6 divided by 3 = 2 then 60 divided by 3 = 20
If you need to do 69 divided by 3
You partition 69 into 60 and 9 then divide 60 by 3 = 20 and then 9 divided by 3 = 3 so together 69 divided by 3 = 23
Try this partitioning method to work out these questions.
88 divided by 4 = 63 divided by 3 = 84 divided by 2 =
96 divided by 3 = 64 divided by 2 = 99 divided by 3 =

So we decided that King Polydectes would speak first.
KIng Polydectes: (Begging.) Please will you marry me Danae? I love you so much. I am the king and I could give you anything you ever wanted.
Danae: (Putting her head in her hands.) No! I’ve told you a million times, I will NOT marry you!
And so on… Please watch to video clip to help you. From 1:15 onwards. The storyboard will help too.

Please use the grid method to solve these problems, You can move to challenge 2 or 3 if you are confident and you are whizzing through. Please remember to work it out using the grid method – not the method in the textbook example.

We were also asked to design a poster for the building site opposite reminding children to keep out of the site and to stay safe. The winning poster will be enlarged, laminated and displayed on the fence around the site for all to see. If you’d like to design a poster and send in a picture we can send it off too.

Some fantastic writing examples from Room 2.
Over the course of last week and some of this week, Room 2 have been writing their own version of a Greek Myth. I just wanted to pop on here and write up a couple for people to see. Obviously, I can’t write up all 33 of you but these three really stood out for carefully condsidering their word choices to create an impressive piece about their mythical creature.
Evie’s
The fearless Phrentaur was a deadly was a deadly monstrosity. He had a muscular, ferocious body of a centaur, a powerful dragon tail and phoenix wings. At the end of his back, there was a vast, scaly tail with a triangular point at the end which was as sharp as a shard of glass. Placed in his hands, there was a wooden cross-bar with poison spread all over it. Ginormous, jet black wings sit on his back which could flatten you with one movement. But one feather was special. The flame feather. It burns anyone who touches it instantly.
Helena had heard of the myth and hope it wasn’t true but here she was, ready, as she strode off into the forest.
Elias’s
The destructive Fagoosa was a vicious beast. He had the powerful, muscly tentacle of the Cracken, the body of a phoenix and the scales of a snake. On his back, were two vast wings which pounded the air as it attacks you. On its head there are many snakes, writhing and snipping, shooting acid like a gun. But seven feathers were special. The 7 feathers which could tame it.
Hermione had heard the tales of the Fagoosa but hoped they weren’t true but here she was getting ready to go to the Crimson Beach.
Harrison’s
The almighty Kludemonster was a monstrosity. He had a terrifying, powerful head of a tiger and the body of a human. On his giant like hands, he has obsidian coloured claws as sharp as a razor blade that could cut down a wooden house with a single swipe. Inside its horrifying, foul mouth, it has a poisonous, black tongue next to teeth like broken pieces of flint. The tongue can constrict around its victims and grow to 12 feet long. But one claw was extremely special. The diamond claw. It was enchanted and one touch of it would cause instant death.

RSE Curriculum
Dear parents,
As part of the statutory National Curriculum, your child/children will be taught all aspects of the new Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) Curriculum. This includes developing healthy relationships, staying safe, knowing how to look after their mental health and wellbeing, understanding the natural changes to bodies and naming of body parts. We believe that this biological approach needs to be balanced with an emphasis on relationships, feelings, and values. We are particularly concerned to ensure our children know how to keep themselves safe and healthy and develop confidence and self-esteem to ensure they are not vulnerable or exploited in any way.
This year we are using new materials as part of our personal and social health education curriculum. We are delivering Shropshire Respect Yourself: Sex Education programme. This programme has been nationally recognised, is informed by good practice guidance and has received the quality Kitemark from the Personal, Social Health Education Association (PSHE), It includes the transition programme for Year 6, which ensures continuity and age-appropriate progression with the Shropshire secondary programme.
As part of our planning for the delivery of this programme we have ensured that there is consistency with our school’s ethos and related policies, such as safeguarding, equalities and bullying.
The programme will be delivered by classroom teachers. There will be opportunities for children to work in mixed and single gender groups and exercises will be adapted to take into account different levels of maturity and ability. We encourage pupils to ask questions, seek further information and complete activities at home. We see this work as a partnership between school and home.
Please feel free to contact your class teacher or myself if you have any questions about the content we will be covering. Depending on the amount of queries we get, we may also be able to offer an information sharing session for parents if we feel this is necessary.
The topics we will be covering in each year as well as the vocabulary we will be learning is outlined in the document below.
Many thanks,
Miss Roberts
