Hello all!

Next Friday morning you are all invited to the governor’s breakfast morning. This will start before school at 8:00 am.

Thank you all for your donations for Red Nose Day: Comic Relief. It is so wonderful that we are raising money for others who are less fortunate than us and simultaneously teaching the children this important life lesson of helping others.

This week

The children really enjoyed their science workshop this week – a huge thank you to all the adults that helped run the workshop and volunteered their time, the children and I were very grateful.

Maths – This week we have been learning all about fractions. Firstly, we were identifying fractions and now we are beginning to find fractions of amounts with using bar modelling to assist us.

English- We used the iPads to finish out research on our animals and have written our final report. These look fantastic and the children have learnt a lot about their own animal.

Science – This week in science we have been monitoring our plants to check their progress and compared the progress of the plant to the controlled environment plant (no light or water). We are now attempting to revive said plant. We also learnt lots about space during our workshop and we have also engineered our own bird in our bird challenge that the whole school has completed.

History – This week we learnt who Boudicca was and explored the views that the Romans and the Britons held towards her.

RE- In RE this week we were looking at prayer in Christianity. We looked specifically at The Lord’s Prayer. We dissected the meaning of the prayer and discussed how this is important to Christians.

Next Week
Maths – Next week in maths the children will continue their topic of fractions. Any home learning you can do with fractions will assist their learning in class.

English – This week we will start our topic on explanation texts.

Science- Investigate the way in which water is transported within plants.

History – Boudicca’s revolt against the Romans.

RE- Prayer in Islam.

D&T – Designing a biscuit.

This KS2 production, Rock Bottom, is fast approaching – we will be rehearsing at this at school but if you could allow the children to practise the songs at home, that would be a big help.
