The children seem to have settled back into school life well after the Christmas break. Our whole-school theme for this half-term is ‘new beginnings’ and the children offered some wonderful ideas in worship discussions this week. We have started to talk about the idea of ‘unity’ and how this is reflected in our school and children have suggested things which our school community could work on together e.g. looking after school property so that the school is a nice environment in which to learn.

Arthog

If you would like your child to take part in our annual visit to Arthog (Friday 17th to Monday 20th May 2019) please return the reply slip and deposit to the school office on Monday. We need to provide Arthog next week with the numbers attending.

Have a nice weekend.

English

This week we began our new novel study – “Ghost Soldier” by Theresa Breslin.  The children read the first chapter and created pieces of art work representing their interpretation of it.  They then used the ideas from Chapter 1 to write poetry using a range of poetic features.

Maths

This week we continued our work on fractions.  The children have worked on dividing fractions by whole numbers and on finding fractions of amounts.

History

We began our World War I topic this week by researching which countries were involved in the war and their alliances.  The children located the countries involved on a map of Europe.

Art

The children began work on a global canvas project.  In groups they began to design their interpretation of an endangered animal and how it could be saved.

To meet parent demand, there is now the option to drop children off at Breakfast Club at 7:40 am for a cost of £2.20.  If your child is arriving at 7:45 am or later, the current cost remains at £2.00.
