Dear Parents,
This week has been a hive of activity as we celebrated internet safety day this week. 

 

We took this as an opportunity to work with the children on their awareness of keeping themselves safe online. We all recognise what a benefit the internet has offered so many of us, but this year we have been focusing on the risks of people pretending to be other people online and how messaging/communication online can be abused.

 

Next week we look forward to welcoming you into school for your parent consultations.  It is always a special time to celebrate the children’s achievements and look at new areas to focus upon, to ensure they reach their potential.

 

I look forward to celebrating with you all on Friday when we once again ‘Reach for the Stars’ and to seeing some of you during our parent consultation evenings.

 

I hope you have a fantastic weekend when it arrives.
 

Maple Class: 
We have continued to be super story tellers this week with The Three Billy Goats Gruff! We are also going to be planning our own version of the story at the end of the week and already have some great ideas. In maths, we have been practising our counting in 2s, 5s and 10s – please help us to practise at home too. We learnt all about how to stay safe online on Internet Safety Day and we really impressed Mrs Carroll with our knowledge. 
 

Cedar Class
This week children have enjoyed making their Anglo-Saxon pendants. We have developed our knowledge of Anglo-Saxon artefacts and began designing and making out of CLAY!
 

Damson Class:
In Damson Class, we have been working on adding and subtracting decimals in Maths. Whilst in Literacy, we are writing our imaginative recounts to round the unit off. We have also been learning all about online safety too, as part of our PSHE.
 

Oak Class:
This week Oak Class have completed writing their own ‘Detective Style’ stories – they have produced some amazing results. In maths we have drawn shapes to scale using rulers and protractors. We have also revised addition and subtraction methods. In PHSE we covered safer internet day activities – recognising the importance of staying safe online. We covered talking about content we come across, reporting, blocking and deleting materials which are upsetting.
