Class Dragonflies News
Dragonfly Class Thursday 14th May
Good morning all,
So here’s today’s “throwback” to things we’ve been up to in Dragonfly Class this year…
There was a special sequence of lessons we did learning all about a very talented French scientist who kept a jar of radium by her bedside each night. Little did she realise how deadly this nightlamp would prove to be! She led medical science in a treatment for cancer and was most definitely a ‘woman who changed the world’. Have you guessed who she is yet? I remember this unit of work very fondly from autumn term where many of you were captivated by this real-life superhero’s story and produced some brilliant biographies. I’m talking, of course, about Marie Curie!
Here’s today’s learning activities:

Here are the various designs and plans for Rabbit class’s own flying machines (and Sophia has also made her own paper plane with her big brother). They are so inventive. Well done Harrison, Amber, Lucy and Andreas. Lucy has included this wonderful youtube clip of her flying carrot. I can see Lucy is headed for a career in Science!

Well being Wednesday
Hello 👋🏼 everyone!
I hope you are getting chance to enjoy the sunshine ☀️ while doing your daily exercise.
As I’ve said before being active makes you feel happy and motivated! So this week I’d like you to take a look at this fun challenge!
Mrs Johnson, on behalf of The Harry Johnson Trust has set up a 10k in May challenge. Where you have to walk, run or bike a total of 10K during May (that’s 6.2 miles). But don’t worry you don’t have to do the whole distance at once and it can be part of your permitted daily exercise.
Rhys completed ‘Harry’s Rainbow Run’ by doing a 2.2 mile run and a 4 mile bike ride! 🌈🐸
If you want to take part and raise funds for three amazing charities? Simply donate £10 to 2020 Challenge at www.givey.com/the2020challenge and then walk or run a total of 10K during May.
Once completed send confirmation including your address to viner.l@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk and I can arrange for a medal to be sent to you!
Good luck and stay safe!
Mrs Viner 😎
Dragonfly Class Wednesday 13th May
Good morning all,
I hope you’re having a good week; I’ve been busy doing school work and looking through some of the things we’ve done so far this year – it’s brought lots of smiles to my face! One of my highlights: JELLYBEAN MATHS DAY! I can just see your faces when you walked into class to find hundreds and thousands of jelly beans!
Nicky in the office looked just as delighted and earned herself a treat bag! I can honestly say I haven’t eaten jelly beans since but might treat myself to some next time I’m shopping…! What special day in Dragonfly Class pops up for you?
I hope to be catching up with some of you again this week… watch this space.

Dragonfly Class Monday 11th May
Good morning everyone!
I hope you all enjoyed the VE Day celebrations on Friday in some way; it was a pleasure to see houses decorated with bunting and flags as I enjoyed my morning run – true British spirit! Otherwise I’ve been lost in a book this weekend… it’s one of those books that I can’t put down and I’m totally lost in the story all about children in World War II. I hope you’re all getting the chance to get stuck into some good books too!
This week we are going to begin with a focus on Florence Nightingale whose birthday Is May 12th. She is particularly significant at the moment with the Nightingale Hospitals being built in her name… I wonder why she is so important?

It’s research time! One of the skills we practise in Year 4/5 is note-taking – developing the ability to write key points down which can be used at a later date.
I would like you to make your own Florence Nightingale ‘notes’ page – remember, it doesn’t have to look pretty, but you must be able to read what you’ve put and be prepared to produce something using your notes tomorrow!
This website has got lots of good information to get you started:
