Hi Everyone

The children have had a great return to school. We have been very busy this week reading Grendel: A Cautionary Tale About Chocolate and comparing it to the myth of King Midas. Next week, we will start to write our own stories using direct speech and inverted commas. In history, we have started learning about the Ancient Greeks. We have learnt about city states and different forms of government. In maths, we are continuing with fractions and will start looking at tenths next week. 

Thank you for all the jars that have come in so far. Next week. we are going to start growing some plants for our science topic this term about plants. Thank you also for all the swimming kits. The children had a successful first week and we will continue with swimming next week. It is so nice to be able to get out of school again and we are planning a  trip for this term. 

I will send a Dojo to launch the new reading rewards which the children have voted on. This will start next week. 

Hope you have a good Friday and a good weekend.

Hi Everyone

It is so windy today! I'm hoping we get some better weather for Easter.

The children have demonstrated some great reasoning in fractions and are beginning to get to grips with understanding how to record and calculate fractions. Everyone has a cake to take home and they should know now how to share this equally... Fingers crossed you get an equal slice! They have made an Easter card and have written their haiku or part of it in it!  We have finished learning about branching databases and how to use them in the real world. In Life Skills, we are continuing to learn how to stay online. There are some photos of this and fractions work with this blog. 

A massive well done to the children for all their hard work this term. They have really risen to the challenge. They have fantastic behaviour and everyone who comes into the class says how great they are. We are launching our new reading competition after the holidays to inspire the children. Please keep reading over the holidays. 

We really hope you have a great holiday.
