Albrighton Primary School

Children in Classes 5 and 6 discovered an inert bomb in the school grounds today. As part of our WW2 project we used metal detectors and trowels to search for any historical finds. Little did the children suspect what we might find! There are many questions that all the children are now asking which has really sparked their imaginations.

We have been invited by RAF Cosford museum to share our findings and join them to work on a Young curators scheme which will be an exciting time for all involved.

Although it’s not quite that time of year yet you may be interested in having a go at this Yr 6 SATs online test. If you’re in year 6 look at the areas you are having difficulty with. Any other year groups can join in too but bear in mind there may be concepts you haven’t covered yet.

Each compartment in this box contains 6 jelly beans of the same flavour.

They are arranged in 2 layers of 3 beans. There is a different flavour in each compartment.

How many different flavours are there in the box?

How many beans are there altogether?

Jelly beans are sold in ‘40 official flavours’. Suppose that the jelly bean

company asks you to design a similar box which could hold all 40 flavours. Is this possible?

Next week Mr Ross will deliver our CDs so we can listen to our fab recordings

in our house, car or wherever you want! It was an excellent experience for

the children to see how ideas can turn into lyrics which can turn into a melody

and then lead into a full song and performance!

Classes 6, 7 & 8 are all seeing how far they can get around the world! Using the gccjunior.org website and our special pedometers we are totalling, then averaging our steps. The competition is fierce, there are around 4000 other classes from around the globe competing but if we all have an active weekend we should start moving up the leaderboard!

Year 3 & 4 had a marvellous day at the Wolverhampton art gallery. We are now

planning our album covers for our forthcoming music recording in a few weeks time!

It’s the start of a new year and we can’t wait to get working with you. There are all sorts of great plans we have for this term so don’t feel nervous – enjoy seeing all your friends again and your teachers too!
