A super week for these children especially!
As the children have come into class each morning, their ears have been assailed with the sounds of ‘Girl Power’ bands. It is probably no surprise to hear that the Spice Girls caused the best reaction!
In English lessons, we have been continuing to write non-chronological reports about the city of Leeds and a town it has been twinned with. The children have found it interesting to research facts, not only about places as far afield as Durban, South Africa, but also about their own city! Hopefully, these pieces of work will be completed next week.
In Maths, work has begun on long multiplication – once again, it is clear that the children who have a ready knowledge of their times tables have found this unit much easier than those who don’t. Please spend time practising these at home, if your child struggles to recall these facts. 6x, 7x and 8x seem to be the weakest tables in Oak Tree Class. Homework this weekend will be to consolidate this method – good luck!
Along with PE, Computing, Art, French and other subjects, we have spent time creating a piece of art work on the theme of the Fragility of Freedom. This work will be displayed in school, to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day (27th January). I was really touched by the sensitive and mature approach the children displayed towards this subject.
Enjoy your weekend,
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
