Dear Parents,
It has been another busy week with the addition of snow today!

 

It was lovely last week seeing the fantastic costumes on World Book Day and also seeing the children enjoying their dance session.

 

It was lovely to see the children really throw themselves into the dance and ‘pretend’ to be revolting children! 

 

There is a real buzz of excitement as the year 5 children (and staff) make the final preparations for the residential tomorrow.  I am genuinely so grateful to the staff who volunteer to go on these residentials and give up yet more of their precious time.  It is a huge commitment, but this does allow the children to have added experiences.

 

I look forward to seeing some of you on Friday when we once again ‘Reach for the Stars’.

 

Have a lovely weekend when it finally arrives!
 

Maple Class:
This week in Maple we have started to explore ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ in literacy and have created some fantastic story maps to help us retell the story. We have also created some of our very own wild things! In maths, we are learning how to tell time and are focussing on ‘o’clock’ and ‘half past’ times. 
 

Cedar Class:
We have enjoyed learning about what makes good friends this week, as well as how we can show others good friendship in different parts of our school. The children did well in their maths learning about money and place value. In addition, they have been enjoying reading Otto the Book Bear and The Library Lion.
 

Damson Class:
In Damson Class this week, we have been busy getting our school assessments done, as Year 5 will be going on a residential trip Thursday and Friday. In addition, we have been very creative and are busy sketching, designing and painting for Topic and for our Mother's Day celebration.
 

Oak Class:
In Oak Class we have been busy with assessment week. In addition to the school progress tests we have completed a set of SAT’s papers - this is to help with our test preparation ahead of our statutory tests in May. In addition, we have been working on a few surprise pieces for our Mother's Day celebration.
