Hi everyone,
The lead up to Christmas began this week as we watched the Key Stage One performance of 'Hey Ewe' and put up our class Christmas Tree. It was lovely to watch the nativity performance and Key Stage One did a fantastic job. Year 6 are looking forward to singing some of the songs from Snow Queen to parents and carers as they arrive and leave the Key Stage Two performances next week.
We are still busy learning in the classroom. In maths, my group have been completing the fractions maths topic by learning how to find fractions of amounts and in Miss Bairstow's group the children have been learning about area and perimeter. The children also completed a writing assessment based on the wonderful Anthony Browne book 'The Tunnel'. Some amazing art work has also been completed based on the famous Victorian designer William Morris.
We are all ready for a restful week ahead of a busy final week of term next week.
Have a lovely weekend

Hi everyone,
A hard working, fun and focused week! Everyone has shown an amazing attitude to a range of assessments this week. It has been lovely to hear the constructive and supportive discussions the children have had with each other. Well done!
The children completed their science study of forces by investigating buoyancy with Mr Smith
We have also enjoyed continuing to learn songs from the Christmas production of The Snow Queen.
Have a lovely weekend.

Hi,
A busy week completing and publishing our descriptive setting writing. The children are becoming more proficient in their descriptions and have worked hard to use additional information to paint a picture in the reader's mind.
Mr Smith came into school on Wednesday and the class continued with their science topic of forces by investigating friction. They looked at how different surfaces can affect the speed of movement. The investigation will be completed next week when the results are analysed and written up.
Lots of bottles and gifts arrived for the Christmas Fayre - thank you to everyone who donated.
Have fun if you are coming to the fayre tomorrow.
