Welcome back! It has lovely to see the children return from the half term refreshed and ready for learning. Today the children were very excited to lead their first assembly, all about Remembrance Sunday. They produced some beautiful artwork to share with the other classes and read very well in the assembly. It was lovely to see so many of you there.

We began the week by having a reflective class worship where we prayed for people in heaven, shared our half term news and thanked God for keeping us safe.

As part of our RE learning about preparing for Advent, we were visited by Mrs Lala, who explained how she is preparing for the birth of her baby. Thank you so much for helping us with our learning.

Have a lovely weekend

The class have used adjectives, nouns and commas to write some wonderful list poems about Autumn this week. After writing them out onto a leaf template, in their best handwriting, they used watercolour ink to decorate them in Autumnal colours.

During Maths the class have solved and learnt to understand   < and > inequality. We have started to regroup using think 10 and will continue with this next week. Here is a video to show you how we will use the 10s frame https://youtu.be/q9h4skGoWJ8

In science we have used our observational skills to identify what can be found in a log pile habitat. Next week we will explore why living things are suited to different habitats. We have combined our computing and RE skills this week to create metaphors for God Popplets.

It has been a pleasure to read the children’s space projects and hear them discuss them with their peers. Thank you for your support with this. Next week, in History, we will be exploring how Neil Armstrong and other significant individuals contributed to a significant event beyond living memory.

I have been very impressed with the children’s attitude to learning this week. They have edited and published their space adventure stories, which are now proudly on display in our classroom. Next week we will start a poetry unit in English.

In Maths next week we will be finding equivalent calculations and using our number bonds for addition and subtraction.

We have been very busy in Science this week identifying different habitats and classifying things into three different groups; 1. alive 2. not alive 3. never been alive. We have also used secondary sources (books and the internet) to research our own questions about living things and their habitats.

St Vincent house  celebrated their feast day this week and in RE we discussed how we could be more like St Vincent.
