Week 3, ending 23 September 2022

This has been another really busy week – in spite of us having an extra Bank Holiday. But we have been listening to music each morning, in the genre of ‘pop’! This has created a few laughs and a lot of leaning! (No, it’s Kylie Minogue, NOT Kylie Jenner!)
So we were launched straight into our educational visit to Eden Camp on Tuesday and I was really pleased by the attitude of Oak Tree Class, as they made their way around the huts, learning lots of facts about WW2. Members of the public congratulated the staff on the behaviour of our children.
(Photos to follow).
Lots of our Topic and English tasks have been centred on WW2 follow up work. The children had great fun writing both a formal and an informal postcard, where we had a lot of discussion about the language we might use for sending a postcard to Mr Cooke, compared to the language we might use for our ‘best mate’.
Another highlight had to be in our PE session with Sam, while continuing work on OAA and we played the game Hungry Caterpillars. I was really pleased to see how well the children worked in teams, encouraging each other, but how they could also work competitively and in a good-natured manner. Hopefully, I have managed to attach some images from this lesson. (Every day is a school day!)
This week, the children will be bringing home a bit of Maths homework, along with their usual spelling sheet. Please help the children get into the habit of returning homework each Wednesday.
I hope you have a super weekend,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
