Friday 13th November

​Good evening everyone, it's Friday the 13th - I hope everybody is OK?!

This week in Hazel Class, we have been working on our narrative text The Princess' Blankets. We have enjoyed learning about fairy tales and have written some very creative pieces this week, including: imitating the text, writing our own prologue, suggesting why the Princess is so cold and writing a letter from Dr Makeyouwell to the Princess, offering her a suggestion of a cure.

In Maths, we are working on our new unit Statistics and have been learning how to read and interpret various graphs and charts in order to answer problems. We have also used our wider curriculum time to investigate the planets, their order from the Sun and to find out a bit about each one.

This morning in P.E. the children have begun working on SAQ skills, Speed, Agility and Quality of movement (see the photos).

Well done to all of you who are reading regularly, lots of you are close to circumnavigating the globe in our Round the World Reading Challenge and are beyond Rio De Janeiro already. Some people have completed the challenge, or are close to doing so. For those of you that have, I have created the Genre Genie Reading Challenge and have attached a copy and some reading lists to go with this.

Remember, it’s spelling on Monday, so do practise, it's the first column of this half term's. Don't forget to start looking at this half term's Wider Curriculum home learning activities.

Have a great weekend- enjoy whatever it is you are doing.

Mr F
