Well done to these children!
Welcome back to school for Spring Term 2! K-Pop has greeted the children every day – from BTS to 2NE1…(every day is a school day, even for teachers!).
This week, even though it has only been four days for the children, has been super busy. We have started back on fractions, including multiplying them and we are continuing to look at the conventions of newspapers.
In other news (!), Oliver rehearsals continue and we are all enjoying putting together the scenes and songs, as well as designing and making the scenery for our production. Hopefully, costumes are being collected together by family and friends - please do contact me if there is an issue regarding the clothing your child needs. Email me, as usual, at oak@ruffordparkprimary.org.uk
In our Art unit this term, we have been looking at American landscapes and the children thoroughly enjoyed piecing together their own American Landscape, in the style of Ansel Adams, by cutting at and overlaying key images from his phenomenal photographs. I was really wowed by the finished products!
Rivers was the theme for our topic lesson this week – a real geography skills session, where the children looked at maps and atlases, comparing a river in California and the river Wharfe. I have challenged the children to learn the names of ten rivers this term, including five from Great Britain. Perhaps you could help them with this too? We are making a real effort to develop our geography knowledge during this topic.
I hope you have a lovely weekend,
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
