Weekly Update 18.2.22

Hello and happy half term!
This half term has been incredibly busy and we are really pleased with the children's efforts and progress. It has been 7 weeks since we returned from the Christmas break and we are all ready for a well deserved break - particularly Year 6 who have been completing some assessments again this week. They have approached these with great attitudes and enthusiasm and their hard work this term has paid off.
Year 5 enjoyed their time in the classroom whilst Year 6 were otherwise engaged and had a sneak preview of some of the grammar objectives we will be covering next half term. They also completed some problem solving challenges in maths as part of a team and I was really impressed with their focus and determination when completing these tasks.
Please remember it is World Book Day on Thursday 3rd March (the first Thursday back after half term!) and we are encouraging children to dress up to celebrate.
There are lots of ideas for costumes on the WBD website: https://www.worldbookday.com/dressing-up-ideas/
Costumes don't have to be a big investment - often the best costumes are homemade so perhaps you could allocate some time in your half term to get creative and make something!
This year, we are requesting that children bring in the book that features their character to have on their desk. Children are more than welcome to borrow a book from the school library or bring in a book from home but the important thing is that they bring the book with them on the day so that we can share and celebrate a range of books and stories.
Have a fabulous half term and see you all in a week's time!
Miss Bairstow :)
