A special well done to these children!
The music hits of Male Legends have been playing as the children have arrived each morning. No prizes for guessing the most popular ‘legend’… Michael Jackson! Every child had heard of him, but it was clear that only a few had heard of Frank Sinatra.
At last, in our English lessons, we have completed publishing our Rufford Park Primary School leaflets and what delightful documents they have proved to be! The staff team from the Reception classes have chosen the most persuasive four to be included in the ‘New-to-School’ packs this July, but, because the standard of every one has been so impressive, Mr Cooke has said that ALL of the children’s leaflets will be available for parents (new and old!) to read in the school entrance way. We are incredibly proud of this work!
The winning leaflets are created by: Lillie A-H, Zara A, Finn B and Rumina D. Well done to you four!
In Maths, we have begun learning a unit all about Statistics – this will be continued after half term.
The city-state of Sparta was our main focus in our history session. Now that we have looked in detail at both Athens and Sparta, we will be able to compare and contrast both of these regions in our next topic lesson on Ancient Greece. In the first week back, we are lucky enough to have an educational visitor come to lead the pupils in Phase 4 – this will be all about Ancient Greek theatre and their myths. It should be a lot of fun!
We have had a lot of fun today on 'Make the Rules Day'. Thank you for supporting FORP in this event. Some children have also represented the school in the Brownlee Triathlon today - fantastic efforts all round, you guys! And we have held another 'Oak Tree's Got Talent' show this morning - I never stop smiling in these events. It never fails to amaze me how creative this class is! Thanks for the many ways you have supported and encouraged your child in this little venture; truly a highlight for many!
As it is half term, and the children have worked so hard for the past six weeks, there will be no other homework over the break, apart from regular reading. Please do remember to fill in the Reading Records, too.
Have a super week off!
See you all on Tuesday, 4 June.
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
