Hello everyone,

Another very busy week here at FMPS with lots to talk about!

FMPS raised £458.45 Jeans for Genes. Once again thank you to everyone who has helped raise money.

In Panda's this week our 'Time to Shine' pupil was Aiden. Aiden created a PowerPoint presentation at home all about fossils, he even made his own fossils to show and gift his class. Aiden discussed different kinds of fossils and shared images from his trip to a museum. The children thoroughly enjoyed identifying different types of fossils and Aiden's fossil quiz. Thank you, Aiden!

Jaguars had a fantastic time this week preparing, cooking and eating spaghetti bolognese! Sensibly, we chopped the vegetables whilst the mince and spaghetti cooked on the hob. Each group added different ingredients to change the taste and appearance of their desired dish. Our favourite part was (of course) eating it!

Magical Autumn Apples - This week, we have been inspired by the autumn equinox and the wonderful signs of the season all around us. During our trip to the school garden, we foraged some apples and discussed the seasonal treasures that nature provides. Back in class, Mrs Chadwick shared the enchanting tale of how the apple got its beautiful star. The children were captivated, and we were all reminded that nature truly is magical!

Arish Time To Shine - On Tuesday, Arish presented and spoke about somebody really special to him, his baby brother. He showed the class a very smart photo and even shared a fact file that he'd created all about him. Well done Arish!

Tigers Class put their geography skills to the test with a fun 'mapping from memory' challenge! Using teamwork and sharp recall, they recreated maps of the UK’s physical features, including mountains, hills and rivers. It was a fantastic way to learn about our landscape while building memory and collaboration skills!

Hello everyone, 

Once again another busy here at FMPS lots to talk about!

Thank you to everyone who has helped raise money today for Jeans for Genes we will let you all know how much we have raised on our next newsletter.

In maths, we played a game to support our understanding of numbers to 1 million. Working against a partner, we rolled the dice 6 times and had to create the biggest/ smallest 6 digit number. We had to be tactful about where we placed our digits on the place value chart.

In Science, we have been learning about forces. This week, we learnt about Isaac Newton and the theory of gravity. Using newton metres, we experimented with different classroom objects to determine whether there was a link between mass (g/kg) and newtons (N). We concluded that that there is a link between the two.

Hello everyone, 

We have had a very busy week here at FMPS and we have lots to tell you all!

Year 5 have had a fantastic week! In Computing, we recapped how to stay safe online and created our own Password Tumblers to generate unique passwords. In D.T, we tasted some different bolognese sauces and discussed their texture, taste and packaging. This will help us decide which sauce we want when we make our own spaghetti bolognese later in the half term. 'Find your match' was a game we played in French this week to help us recap conversational phrases. We went around the room to ask 'Comment tu t'appelles?' to find our matching character. Once we found them, we had a small conversation to practise our turn-taking. It's been a busy but fun-filled first full week of Year 5!

Y6 conducted an experiment using Newton meters and scales to see whether there was a relationship between the mass of an object and its weight. They found that the heavier the object the stronger the gravitational force that acts upon it.
