Class 4 Blog

A bit of a change for year 5 this week. Year 5 have been invited in July to perform with the Royal London ballet and Opera. This will be in July ( date to be confirmed ) and will take place at the Hilton Hotel in Hull. There will be a total of around 1,000 children performing a this event with the ballet and opera team. This is a very special and proud moment for year 5 and Brandesburton as a whole. The children have been introduced to their 6 songs they will have to learn and they are absolutely loving them! Once the songs are all learnt and perfected you will have the opportunity to come and watch this before we perform at the Hilton. If the children would like to learn any of the songs or familiarise themselves here is the link.

What’s going on next week:

For the children next week is D.T week. The children will be designing,cutting and sewing their own flag!!

Writing! We are really going to be looking at our writing and also how we make our sentences work! The whole school is focusing on their writing. This includes handwriting, presentation, punctuation and spelling. The children have really started to take so much care with their work and it is amazing to see. I WANT THIS TO CARRY ON!!!

Resilience! I would like the children to focus on trying to work independently, this means trying their best to find an answer or figure something out before coming to an adult. This is very tricky to do so this will be a focus for a while.

Presentation! As a class we are focusing on the presentation of our works in our books. If the children get any spare time at all if they could practice their joint up handwriting.
