Year 5
Year 5 are starting to learn how to touch type this term, improving our speed and accuracy when using our computers
Teachers in Years 1 to 6 have introduced CAPTIONS in some of their teaching. This means that the teacher wears a microphone and their words show on the screen like subtitles. There is a lot of evidence that this can support some learners to focus and process information effectively.
We will keep listening to the children and asking how this is helping them.
Our school governors want to know EVERYTHING that goes on in school and their favourite thing is listening to our children. Brilliant Club came to tell them all about this year’s project on PHILOSOPHY. The children have been thinking about fairness and equity. They create assignments and a dissertation and end up with university-style grades and a visit to a university. They were so inspired this year and really enjoyed the deep thinking and deep learning.
We had such a fun assembly with Miss Best this morning. Our assembly theme this half term is ‘other people’s lives,’ thinking about how we never know what life is like for somebody else. We have many things in common and lots of differences between us and it was nice to see at a glance what we had in common with others.
We can’t wait to hear more about what life is like for other people and next week we will be marking ‘Young Carers’ week.
The most important learning is that we remember this message and we always treat others with kindness. That’s the Middle Park way.
