Writing...this week we have enjoyed using drama to help describe the mood in the scene of Hannah’s kitchen and researching facts about gorillas to write a fact file. Next week we will be writing a diary from different points of view.

Shared Reading: We love our 50 Animal Stories book and have enjoyed reading, discussing and making true or false statements about the story of ‘The White Parrot’ from Spain.

Maths: This week we have succeeded in counting in 25s and exploring negative numbers. Coming up next week is addition and subtraction strategies.

PE: PE will continue to be on Mondays and Fridays with Mr Ault. Dodgeball and Netball at the moment.

Worship/PSHCE: This week we have thought about what we could do to ‘Unite Against Bullying’ and have enjoyed wearing odd socks, designing our own odd socks and creating a piece of puzzle for Team Goldfinch.

History: We enjoyed investigating different artefacts to help us learn about what life may have been like in Ancient Greek times.

Science: We have really enjoyed investigating switches in our electricity topic with a fun way of becoming a human circuit.

Music: We are beginning to learn to sign ‘Little Donkey’.

Finally, thank you all for your continued support, please e-mail or phone the school office if you would like to contact me about anything.
