Weekly Update 25.3.22
Posted: Mar 25, 2022 by: K Simms (k.simms) on: Willow Tree Class Blog
Hello everyone!
What a glorious week we have had with the weather and the week has only been improved even more by the children's fantastic attitude to assessments and, of course, our very exciting trip to Nell Bank.
We kickstarted the week with a round of termly assessments in reading and maths and the children have performed admirably, making considerable progress and showing me just how determined they are to show off their skills. Every single one of the children should be very proud of themselves, I certainly am!
On Thursday, we had the Year 3 trip to Nell Bank in Ilkley. We started the day with a walk through the woods, looking at different types of trees and trying to spot some different animals. We then moved onto the Pond Dipping activity, searching through the pondweed to try and find all sorts of creatures - we were very excited to find lots of newts! After lunch in the sun, we went hunting for minibeasts and had a go at categorising any that we found by the number of legs it had. Just before we returned home, the children practised their map reading skills by doing some Orienteering around the Nell Bank grounds - a fantastic end to a lovely day!
Pictures from the day can be found here on the class page.
Please remember to have projects ready to present on Monday 28th of March. There will be time to present these in class so any powerpoints or videos will need to be sent to the Willow Class email address before Monday morning.
Please continue to keep reading, I have been very pleased to see that lots more children are reading more and more frequently and this is clearly having the desired effect given the recent reading assessments!
We will be finishing the term with a Times Table Awards test so make sure to keep practising for your Bronze, Silver, Gold and Super Gold ready for next Wednesday.
Have a fabulous weekend!
Miss Simms
