Well done to these children!
Welcome back to school for Autumn 2! Blues music has greeted us each morning in Oak Tree Class and the children seemed mostly to enjoy Gary Clarke Junior.
In Maths, we have finished our unit on multiplication and division by attempting some tricky problem solving activities. I have to say, the children showed true resilience in these tasks and, I am pleased to report, worked wonderfully in small groups: there was a lot of teamwork and co-operation (and also a lot of learning!)
In English, we have looked at a variety of biographies written about people we have learned about lower down the school (eg Florence Nightingale and May Seacole) and have tried hard to identify features of biographies. Over the next couple of weeks, they class will be researching information about Dr Barnardo and presenting their own biography about this significant figure from the Victorian era.
In PE, we have begun our unit on football. In RE, we started our work on Judaism by recalling information we learned about this faith in Years 3 and 4.
Next week, we begin our long-awaited DT work on structures – I look forward to telling you more next Friday!
Have a splendid weekend,
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
