Hi everyone,
Just a short note to thank you all for your kind words, support and gifts. They really are appreciated!
The children have worked hard this year and deserve a much-needed rest! Enjoy the summer holidays and we look forward to seeing you all in September.
Take care,
Mrs Brunyard
Good afternoon,
It’s been great to see the sun this week. Please make sure that children bring water bottles and sun hats into school, and suncream has been applied before coming into school. Please also make sure jumpers and cardigans are names, so if they are misplaced they can be returned quickly. Thank you.
This week we started our unit on position and direction in maths and have been looking at co-ordinates. The children have been describing positions using co-ordinates, learning how to plot co-ordinates and draw 2D shapes on a grid.
In our writing sessions, the children have been planning and writing a diary entry from the perspective of Jim Jarvis from our class book ‘Street Child’. One child who showed a good understanding of features of a diary entry was our Golden Certificate winner Alfie K. He is a also great role model to his peers and always listens well, tried hard and contributes well to class discussions.
Please can any trip letters be returned as soon as possible. Children need to wear school uniform as normal and will be back for the end of the school day.
We hope you have a great weekend.

A huge well done to all the children who took part in Sports Day. It was great to see them working together and cheering on their house.
This week, the children have enjoyed using instruments to look at pitch in science and have started to make their bridges in design and technology.
Thank you to all of the children who have returned the trip letters. If you haven’t, please bring them in as soon as you can and if there are only problems getting onto parent pay then please let us know. Thank you.
Our Golden Certificate winner this week is Mimi. She’s a great member of the class who listens well, tries hard and is very helpful. Thank you and well done.
We hope you have a fantastic weekend.

Good afternoon,
In our writing sessions this week we have been planning and writing our own poems based on the poem ‘The Sound Collector’. We changed our poem to ‘The Taste Collector’ and thought of some of our favourite food and drink and how they tasted.
Our Golden Certificate winner this week is Riley. He had some great ideas in English and create a fantastic poem. Well done!
In Maths, we finished our unit on shape. This week we have looked at quadrilaterals, polygons and lines of the symmetry. The children have also enjoyed investigating how sounds are made by using a ruler in Science.
Next week we have sports day on Thursday morning. Please can the children come into school wearing their PE kit (they can wear a top supporting the colour of their house). Thank you.
We hope you have a great weekend.
Mrs Fairclough, Mrs Brunyard and Mrs Davies
Happy Friday!
In English, we have been looking at the poem ‘The Sound Collector’. The children found features of the poem and we looked further at repetition, alliteration and onomatopoeia. Well done, Noah who correctly spelt ‘onomatopoeia’ this morning.
We have started our new topic ‘sound’ in Science and how sounds are made. One child who really impressed during our lesson was Archie. He was a golden certificate winner this week. Archie is a great member of Sycamore Class and always tries hard. Well done, Archie.
We have started our unit on shape in maths. We have looked at angles as turns, how to identify angles and comparing and ordering angles. Today we looked at properties of triangles.
The children have enjoyed practising their timestables in class. Please remember to practise at home.

This week we’ve been looking at informal letters in our writing sessions. The children have been working on using questions and apostrophes for contractions (e.g can’t), in their writing. In Maths, we’ve been looking at multiplication and division.
The children enjoyed making switches in our science lesson. We talked about the job of a switch and used one in our circuits. In design and technology, we’ve looked at attachment techniques ready to help us design our bridges.
Our Golden Certificate winner this week is Reggie. He’s been trying really hard and making good choices. Well done!
We hope you have a great weekend.

Happy Friday!
It’s been lovely seeing the sunshine this week. Please can you make sure if the weather is nice, that your child brings in a sun hat and that suncream has been applied before coming to school. Thank you.
It has been a short but busy week. In our reading sessions, we’ve finished our class text ‘Ariki and the islands of the wonders’. The children really enjoyed this story and in our writing session wrote a setting description of Turtle Island.
Our Golden Certificate winner this week is George. He has had a great end of the week, where he has been focused, worked hard and taken onboard feedback given to improve his work. Well done and keep it up.
In Maths, we’ve finished our unit on time. At the start of the week, we were converting to the 24 hour and from 24 hour to 12 hour clock. We also looked at reading the time, converting from analogue and digital clocks and problem solving questions.
We hope you have a great weekend.
Mrs Fairclough and Mrs Brunyard
Good afternoon,
In our writing session this week, the children have been finishing writing their character description. They have written a character description on Ariki and Ipo from our class book.
Our Golden Certificate winner this week is Betsy. She wrote a fantastic character description using fronted adverbials, emotive sentences and expanded noun phrases. Well done!
In maths we’ve started our unit on money. We’ve been writing money using decimals, converting between pounds and pence, comparing amounts, estimating and calculating with money.
This afternoon, the children had some fantastic ideas on what they thought Jesus would want the world to be like.
We hope you have a great weekend.
Mrs Fairclough and Mrs Brunyard
Hello everyone,
Does anyone recognise any of these water bottles? They have been in the classroom for a little while and no one seems to want to claim them. They must belong to someone in Sycamore! Please email sycamore@crowmoorschool.co.uk if they belong to your child and we will make sure that they return home.
Thanks,
Mrs Brunyard
Good afternoon and happy Easter holidays.
It’s been a short but busy Spring term.
Yesterday, the children made their own Stone Age Clothing and showed off their sewing skills.
The children have loved our book ‘Rumaysa’ in our reading sessions and we have finished reading it this week. In our writing sessions, we have been looking at haikus. We talked about syllables and found the features of this type of poem before having a go at writing our own.
We’ve ended our week looking at place value and partiting decimals in maths.
Our Golden certificate week is Tristan. He’s been trying hard in class and working more independently in our maths lessons.
We hope you all manage to have some rest over the Easter Holidays and the children come back recharged and ready for the Summer term.
