Dear Parents,
It has been another busy week in school. We have all been so proud of the children and how they have coped with their SATS.

Within Oak class there has been a definite buzz after their SATS as they busily prepare for their enterprise project. As I walked by, I was trying to decide whether it was more like Dragon’s Den or the Apprentice!

Once again huge thanks go to the breakfast team (Mrs T, Mrs Jones and Mrs Wright) who have once again done an amazing job at preparing the children for their SATS with an amazing cooked breakfast Bap!  Well done Mrs T for once again exceling with your cooking skills and looking after the children in Oak class.

As the half term hurtles by, I look forward to celebrating with you all on Friday as we once again ‘Reach for the Stars’. This will be the last celebration assembly before half term as next Friday is an INSET day.
I hope you all have a good weekend, when it finally arrives.
 

Maple Class: 
We are exploring weight in maths and have used the bucket balance scales to compare the weight of different objects. We will also be exploring capacity too this week and will compare how much different containers hold. In English, we are busy creating information leaflets about bicycles in preparation for our trip to the Transport Museum. 
 

Cedar Class:
Cedar have shown amazing teamwork and kindness this week as we have started a new poetry unit. They have tried very hard to perform poems aloud and supported each other so well. In maths we have been practicing counting in ½ and ¼ which has been a tricky challenge that everyone has risen to. Finally, we have been able to try new art skills to create textured artwork about the seaside.
 

Damson Class:
The children are really looking forward to Greek day (23rd May) and dressing up! We have finished sculpting our clay pots and the children have enjoyed painting and learning about the usefulness of these pots as a way of evaluating our learning. In maths, finding fractions of amounts has been our focus (Year 5) and adding multiple numbers in Year 4.
 

Oak Class:
Miss V has been really impressed with the way in which Oak Class have tackled their SAT’s assessments this week. All children have been calm, relaxed and ready to show off what they know. Everyone is looking forward to a very different week next week with HS2 engineers joining us for a project and a team building day with All Saints ahead of our residential trip.
