No Reader of the Week /Special mention, due to Good Friday holiday
Phew! We made it – and in one piece!! Psychedelic Music has formed the backdrop of our morning tasks – only a few children had heard of any of the bands! But we ended with Grateful Dead today!
Our school visit to St John’s Church was an adventure for RE this week. Rev Richard explained the Easter story very well and the children were engrossed throughout! Excellent behaviour from all involved too. The children put their learning into action by retelling the Easter Week story in RE.
In Maths, we have started a unit on Statistics – it seems to be the actual language around graph reading that lets many down. They are struggling to understand phrases like ‘What is the difference between’ and ‘How many in total’. We will work more on this area when we return later this month.
We spent some time in English lessons discussing the ending of King of the Cloud Forests, but then spent the rest of the week editing and publishing the children’s yeti adventure stories – it is really good to see the progress many have made since their last piece of long writing.
I'm sure your child has told you about the April Fools' joke we played on them all! Hopefully, there's a post explaining it a little more on Facebook by now....go to the Rufford Park Primary School and Nursery and find out!
All Y5s thoroughly enjoyed the ‘It’s a Wrap’ Party on Wednesday and we loved watching Mr Hand’s recording of our super show. Thank you so much for all your donations of crisps and sweet things – we have enough left over for another treat next term! By now, you should have received a link for the recording of the Wizard of Oz - as always, Mr Hand has done a great job!
I hope the Easter Bunny is good to you all – and you have lots of goodies to feast on!
Have a super Easter,
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
