Dear Parents,
This has been a very busy week with our Year 6 class working hard on their SATS and our year 2 children busily continuing work on their SATS.

 

I am so impressed with the way in which the children take all of these things in their stride and deal with them with such a mature attitude. 

 

This is partially due to their own resilience and attitude and also due to the hard work that our teachers and teaching assistants put into supporting the children to achieve their best, without putting untoward pressure. 

 

A huge thank you to Miss V, Mrs Sembhi, Mr Nailor and Mrs Hind for supporting the children, in a way to help them achieve their best whilst still feeling happy and confident.

 

A special ‘Thank you’ also needs to go to Mrs T, Mrs Waite, and Mrs Wright who have worked so hard this week to ensure all of the Bacon Butties have been cooked to perfection. All I can say is that the aroma in the hall has made me hungry this week! 

 

I hope you all managed to have an enjoyable weekend last week celebrating the Coronation and that you managed to spend some quality family time together.

 

Please note there is no celebration assembly this week due to the year 6 SATS, but we will be once again ‘Reaching for the Stars’ next week.
 

Maple Class: 
This week in Maple Class we are really enjoying our new text in Literacy – African Animal Alphabet. We are learning lots of interesting facts about animals that live in Africa and are exploring the features of non-fiction texts. In maths, we are exploring doubles and number bond facts and we are busy observing the changes to our bean seed in science. 
 

Cedar Class
This week we have been looking at mental arithmetic in Year 2 and Year 3, which has been useful in understanding patterns in numbers. In addition, we have been looking at the life of Nelson Mandela for our African Topic.  We have tried to understand how significant he was in South Africa and the world. 
 

Damson Class:
This week in Damson Class, we are honing our editing skills in Literacy - to improve our writing work. Whilst in Maths we are looking at the 24hr clock and properties of polygons. We have also been looking at Egyptian hieroglyphics and have been writing our own names using the symbols. 
 

Oak Class:
Oak Class have been undertaking their SAT’s test this week and have dealt with them extremely well so far. The class are showing off what they can do and following all the advice they have been given. Miss V is very proud of every one of them.
