Well done to these pupils this week!
Reader of the Week: Oliver
Special Mention Pupil: Kadie
Reggae music has started our mornings off all week – Bob Marley’s ‘Three Little Birds’ was by far the most popular!
In Maths, it has been wonderful to see how focussed the children have been when learning about calculating the Perimeter of 2D-shapes. They have really tried hard to grasp some of the trickiest concepts (like missing lengths) and have displayed an encouraging ‘Have-a-go’ attitude to all tasks.
In English sessions, we have been delving further into the story of Syms, in Darwin’s Dragons. This story is becoming more and more exciting – and gradually more pupils are confidently reading from the class novel in Guided Reading Sessions. Well done to those guys!
Despite the rain, we have done brilliantly in the Mini Marathon (I say ‘we’, but I really mean ‘they’!!). Each child has completed at least one mile – some much more than that. I have been impressed with the resilience and effort that some children have employed in this venture – especially those who haven’t traditionally loved PE sessions. Each child has really tried to push themselves – thus improving their fitness level, too. I have also seen this determination in our Athletics lesson on Jumping. The children practised a standing long jump and then investigated if they could jump further by incorporating a little run up. Everyone seemed quite exhausted at the end of it, but they were all happy that they had improved their jumping skills considerably. Well done, Oak Tree Pupils!
Have a super weekend – back to school on Monday for a much-anticipated Ukulele lesson with Mr Jennings.
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
