Very well done to these children!
Dance music has been the music genre this week each morning. M People seemed to have the biggest impact on bopping heads!
It has been assessment week in Oak Tree Class, so some sessions have been used for our termly tests.
In English we still have found time to do some researching on Dr Barnardo. Next week, we will start writing up our notes.
Our DT was a big success – in groups of two or three, the children began the mammoth task of building the marble runs they had planned. It is all still ‘work in progress’ so more on this next week…
Fractions continues in Maths. This week, we have been trying to find ways in which we can compare two different fractions. This has been quite tricky to understand, but it is so useful when we move onto adding and subtracting fractions later in the term.
As part of our PSHE topic, where we are exploring how ‘we have more in common than not’, the children have voted to carry out our very own Secret Santa activity. Each child has drawn a child’s name out and needs to buy a gift for that child for between £3 and £5. Gifts should be brought into school by Friday, 12th December (wrapped, please!) and we will have fun opening them on our last day of term. I personally think the challenge will be keeping this a secret! (But if this task is a challenge for you, as a family, I have asked the children to let me know so I can sort out enough gifts for everyone. This is not an issue at all.) The gifts shall be exchanged on our last day of school, 19 December.
Homework this weekend includes learning by heart three verses from 'Twas the Night before Christmas. I hope you are able to come along to our Very Victorian Christmas in the last week of term.
I hope you have a lovely weekend – Christmas shopping?
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
