A super well done to these children!
This week, we have been listening to Northern Soul music as we have come into class eac morning. Lots of ‘bopping’ while doing our early morning tasks!
In English, we have continued to work on researching information biographies about Thomas Barnardo. Much time has been spent looking through fact sheets, books and using the Internet (safely!) to find key facts about his life. Next week, we shall begin writing up our biography texts.
In Maths, our work on fractions has moved onto looking at improper fractions and mixed numbers. The children’s efforts in these objectives have been brilliant! I have been really encouraged by their resilience in dealing with such a nuanced area of maths. Homework is to help to consolidate what an improper fraction actually is.
By far, the most exciting session has been the time spent in DT this week, where the children have designed their own marble runs. Work begins on the construction of these on Tuesday.
The children have been asking about our Very Victorian Christmas Assembly – it has been put on the school newsletter, but just so you are sure, it will be at 9.30am on Wednesday 17th December. Really hope lots of you can come along to support it! Song words have come home this week, too, for the children to practise and learn.
Have a fun weekend!
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
