Hello all,

Apparently it’s December? Time really has flown by and it seems like the children’s first day in September was only a few weeks ago.

Next Friday is Christmas Jumper Day. For £1 the children can come into school in non-uniform and their favourite Christmas jumper. I look forward to this day ever year!

Next Wednesday is open afternoon. From 3pm to 4:30pm you can come to the classroom and look through your children’s learning. This will be a great opportunity to see all the hard work your children are putting in. Please, however, be mindful that school does not finish until 3:20pm so there may still be learning taking place. This session is open from 3-4:30 and you can drop in at any point.

This Week

Maths - Place 2- and 3-digit numbers on a number line; round 3-digit numbers to nearest 100; use counting up to do mental subtractions with answers between 10 and 20, 10 and 30, and either side of 100.

English- We have been continuing our recount writing with the aim of writing our own newspaper reports this week. We have written separate parts of a newspaper report and now need to finish our newspapers and edit our own work.

Science – Magnets. Testing how strong magnets are. The children made their own investigation to test how strong magnets are. They will be carrying out their investigation and recording this.

History – This week we have looked life during the Bronze Age. The children then wrote a diary entry as if they were a child living a day during the Bronze Age. These we’re an excellent read and the children are very knowledgeable of Bronze Age life.
