Friday 10th January

Happy New Year everyone!

It has been fabulous to have the children back, but it has been a bit of a strange week, particularly weather wise! 

We have worked on redrafting and finalising our fairy tales with an alternative ending, with some great twists to traditional tales!
In Maths, we started our second Multiplication and Division unit of the year, which builds on the previous unit adding in some more complex concepts. In Geography, we completed our presentation based on Informal settlements and the problems that the residents of these face and possible solutions.

We completed a shorter week, with a P.E. session outside, with our Saints coach. This half-term, we will be working on Hockey skills.  

Don't forget, that on Thursday next week, the Year 5s will be starting their swimming sessions. Therefore, can the Year 5s please ensure that they  have their swimming kit and packed lunch, or have a school packed lunch booked, so that we can leave promptly for the bus at 12.20. The Year 4s, will be working alongside their fellow year 4s from Willow class with Miss Penny, whilst the year 5s are swimming in Okehampton.

Next week, we will be working on our new English text (to be revealed on Monday), Multiplication and Division in Maths, Magnetism in Science and Medieval Monarchs in History. 
The children also work on French, R.E., Computing and either Art or DT with Miss B on Wednesdays. We will continue with Hockey on Fridays and will have an active break everyday otherwise.

Finally, the children will come home with their homework books today. In these there are spellings for this week, Maths questions based on what we have been doing in class and a topic homework with a choice of activities. Please could the book come back in on Thursday next week for marking and so that the children can add next week's home learning.  Topic home learning will be out next Friday, once we have started our new Science and History units.


Have a great weekend everybody, see you on Monday.
