Well done to these pupils this week.
Reader of the Week: Sheldon
Special Mention Pupil: Violet
World Music has greeted the children every morning – there has been quite a ‘zen’ atmosphere to start our day!
In English, we have continued to read our novel, Darwin’s Dragons, and this week, the children have completed a variety of tasks, which have furthered their understanding of the plot so far. I think a highlight was looking at and learning about the prickly pear cactus, which is found on the Galapagos Islands and then creating a little information booklet.
In Maths, we have completed our shape work on angles – now the children should know how many degrees are in a right angle, a straight line and also a full turn. Test them and check that they do!
PE sessions were fun again this week, as the Y5s spent time with our Y3s, teaching them the finer art of bowling and catching for rounders. The weather was super-hot again, so we also spent some of the time reading with the Y3s in the shade. It was encouraging to see how supportive the children were with their younger peers. (I am really hoping to have been able to put some photos of this session onto our class gallery!)
We had an important message delivered to us on Tuesday, by an IT expert, about Internet Safety. We have had a few discussions since and I think it would be worthwhile for you to visit this site, to continue the open discussions with your child:
Hope you have a pleasant and sunny w/end.
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
