I hope you have all had a lovely week together and I’m personally looking toward to hearing the children’s news when we return to school on Monday 3rd June!

After-school provision

Just a reminder that our after-school provision is changing from Monday so the clubs are not yet showing on the website. Here’s a reminder below of the new arrangements which were sent home the last day of term.

Changes to after-school clubs June 2019

Diary dates next week

It’s going to be fairly busy next week with Classes 1,2 and 3 all going out of school on trips as part of their summer term topics and Classes 5 and 6 will be taking part in a litter pick with the Bicton Heath Co-op on Wednesday morning which ties in with World Environment Day.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend whatever you are up to.  😊

English

This week the children began work on their new novel study ‘The Mysteries of Harris Burdick’ by Chris Van Allsburg.  The children studied the front cover in detail, making predictions about the story and drawing the illustration from a different perspective.  They also wrote a first person narrative of what they think may have happened to Harris Burdick, following on from reading the book’s introduction.

Geography

The children began their new topic on South America by using an atlas to identify all of the countries and capital cities that make up the continent. They also labelled the oceans surrounding South America and looked at features such as lakes, mountain ranges and which countries lie on the equator.

Cultural Diversity Day

The children each chose a different country to work on, researching the culture there.  They worked in pairs to present the information as a poster or leaflet.  The children also did some cookery that day, making jam roly polys!
