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

side of 100.

our recount writing with the aim of writing our own newspaper reports this

strong magnets are. They will be carrying out their investigation and recording
this.

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.
