Welcome to Goldfinches’ Weekly Blog
What a wonderfully busy week! I am so proud of the diary entry writing from Goldfinches and how much effort they are putting into understanding the place value of 4-digit numbers.
Star of the week goes to: Lily
Top Table award goes to: Josh
Worship: This week in worship we have watched the anti-bullying live lesson which focused on thinking about the Trusted 5 people we could share our worries with. We had a lovely worship listening to the story of friends and friendship and reflected on this by making a paper chain which links us all together in friendship.
Next Week:
Reading and Writing: This week we have learned to write a diary entry using fronted adverbials of time and manner. Next week we will focus on using a speech sandwich to help us to use and punctuate direct speech. Our shared reading text will help support us to learn to draw inferences about a character and find the evidence in the text.
Reading homework- I’m so impressed by how many children are reading regularly at home. Please continue to support your child to read for 10-20 minutes daily and to sign their diary.

Happily, cosily, sleepily, cheekily, angrily, breezily, heavily, frantically, basically, magically
