Arthog Day 3

Today the sun was shining and we ventured on a hill walk to Pared y Cefn Hir  and Cregennan lake; the views were outstanding. In order to reach the summit, we had to scramble over some rough terrain and squeeze through some narrow rocky passes. The children have continued to encourage and support each other with kind words. As one child said, “ We are really living out the school motto – to encourage one another and build each other up.”   Indeed they are and we are very proud of them.

 

 

 

At the end of the afternoon, we stopped off at Fairbourne beach to complete our John Muir award which entailed clearing the beach of any plastic and rubbish.

Arthog Day 2

After a good night’s sleep and a delicious full English breakfast, we were all set up for day 2. Scrambling over rocks along the beach and climbing on the cliff wall this morning was great fun and everyone stepped up to the challenge.

This afternoon we went on the infamous gorge walk.

There are no photos of this as we were all too wet.
However, everyone loved it – including the swim in the sea.

Year 5

Year 5 have had a very busy day baking and climbing.

We are investigating recipes using seasonal ingredients this week. Today we made apple and blackberry muffins.

We were impressed with the way they approached the climbing wall – many of them achieved far more than they said they expected to before hand. Good preparation for going to Arthog next year!

This week in Blue Class

This week we have a slightly different timetable whilst Year 6 are at Arthog.

PE kits need to be worn on Tuesday and Thursday. Children will need long sleeves and leggings or tracksuit bottoms.

Thank you for the kind donations for the cooking ingredients today.

We will start cooking on Tuesday so the children will need their container to bring home some of their food (if there is any left)!

Times table revision

Dear All,

We are starting work on factors and multiples in maths  this week. This will be leading onto formal methods for multiplication and division. We will then be focussing on fractions. For all these areas of mathematics, quick recall of times table facts and their related division facts is essential. Some children are very confident but others are ‘ quite rusty’.  We are going to revisit the times tables over the coming weeks which will be tested each Friday; we will then revisit again with the accompanying division facts. This week we are working on our 4 times table and eight times table.

Times table revision homework

Week beginning

2.10.23        x4 x8

9.10.23        x3 x 6

16.10.23      x6 x 12

23.10.23      x 2 x 5 x10

6.11.23         x3 x 9

13.11.23       x7 x11

20.11.23        ÷ x 4  ÷ x 8

27.11.23       ÷  x 3  ÷  x 6

4.12.23     ÷  x 6 ÷  x 12

11.12.23      ÷  x 3   ÷  x  9

8.1.24        ÷ x 7 ÷ x 11

15.1.24         All times tables and division facts.

 

We hope you will support us in helping your child learn their tables. We have Timestable Rockstar to support this and Hit the Button is also a fun free app.  In the words of our year 6, ” Maths is hard in Blue if you don’t know your tables!”

Many thanks for your support
