Choir at the Co-op

Just a reminder that the choir are singing at the co-op tomorrow morning at 10:30am. I have given out some more permission letters today for children who needed them which will need to be handed to me first thing tomorrow morning.

I have told the children that they are allowed to bring some festive head-ware if they have some – tinsel, headbands, hats.

Thank you,

Miss Barratt

Punctuality

Christmas Jumper/Festive Outfit Day

On Friday 9th December, all children (and staff!) are invited to come to School wearing a Christmas jumper or festive outfit. This is not a fundraising event simply an end-of-term treat for everyone’s hard work this term. We may even have a special visitor during the day!

FOBs Film Night

A huge thank you to the FOBs ladies for arranging another fantastic film night. Thank you also to the dads who helped set up the equipment in the afternoon.

Class 3 Weekly Update

It’s been another hard working week in Class 3!

English – This week we have been learning about narrative poetry and have read ‘Coming Home’ by Michael Morpurgo – which the children have really enjoyed. We have described the feelings of the character’s in the poem and then planned and wrote our own narrative poem about our journey home from school. The children were very good at this and used lots of fantastic features such as repetition.

Maths – We have continued our work on multiplication and division. This week we have been learning about multiplying and dividing by 10 and where all the digits in a number move when you do this. We have also solved some reasoning problems about multiplication and division.

PE – The children have continued to practise key skills in PE this week.

We have now finished our science topic and will be aiming to finish our geography topic next week too.

The children have been working hard rehearsing for Joseph and it’s all coming together nicely.

Have a lovely weekend!

Class 4 update

In English the children have been learning to write instructions and explanation texts.

In maths we have recently been practising methods of subtraction, multiplication and division. This week we have been learning about measures including converting between grams and kilograms and litres and millilitres. The children have also been learning to read timetables and the 24 hour times that appear on them.

Our DT and science topics are now linked, as the children are working in pairs to make a festive light decoration. This gives the children the opportunity to use what they have learnt about electrical circuits to make their decoration move and light up.

The children have been enjoying learning about Mexico and we had lots of fun on our Mexican Day making decorations for the classroom and some guacamole to taste at the end of the day with lots of tortillas and wraps!
