A super well done to these children!
This week, we have been listening to Northern Soul music as we have come into class each morning. Lots of ‘bopping’ while doing our early morning tasks, but Tainted Love, by Gloria Jones was the big hit!
As this has been assessment week, the children have spent a lot of their morning lesson time completing tests, but we have continued to work on writing biographies about Thomas Barnardo.
In Maths, our work on fractions has moved onto looking at improper fractions and mixed numbers. The children’s efforts in these objectives have been brilliant! I have been really encouraged by their working knowledge of these aspects.
By far, the most exciting session for me this week was the use of Digimaps in our Topic session. We looked at a modern map of Yeadon and, by the click of a button, we switched it to a map from 1890. It was so interesting to see the changes over time. I have tried to build in a little more time for the children to use this App next week.
If any of you have any Marble Runs hiding away somewhere, I would really appreciate them being sent in for Weds to Thursday, as our DT lesson could do with a few more.
PLEASE NOTE: our second PE lesson this next week will be on Wednesday, not Thirsday.
(The children have been asking about our Very Victorian Christmas assembly – it has been put on the school newsletter, but it will be on Tuesday 19th December. Really hope lots of you can come along to support it!)
Have a fun (snowy?) weekend!
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
