I hope you all had a restful and healthy Easter Holiday! It has been lovely to welcome the children back in class and it is fair to say that we had a busy first 5 days.
On Tuesday, we started our tennis unit in PE led by Mr Mills practicing our grip and revising our technique and basic rallying skills.
On Wednesday, we started our new computing unit of Programming, where the children used ‘Logo’ and wrote their own simple code snippet to programme their ‘Logo Turtles’.
On Thursday afternoon, the class also participated in their first percussion music session with great enthusiasm.
In Maths, we looked at adding and subtracting fractions with regrouping whilst in Writing, we started our new unit of explanation text by explaining how some of Wallace and Grommit’s crazy contraptions work.
In Science we introduced Electricity as our new area of learning and in RE, we investigated Matthew’s Gospel about the Resurrection and explained how his words form our beliefs in Jesus. In History, the class moved on to the Tudors whilst in D&T the children created design briefs to start their electricity powered bedside lantern project.
Just a quick note to confirm that our PE days this term will be Mondays and Tuesdays, so children need to come in their PE kits on those days. Please may I also remind you that we need a photograph of each child to be displayed on our Special Diversity display board. It’s a beautiful area in our hall celebrating our roots, inheritance and language and it is important that all children are represented. Please only send pictures that you are happy to stay in school.
Have a lovely weekend,
Ms Varga
