What a wonderful end to this half term we have had! The children looked fantastic in their Jubilee outfits and had a great day taking part in activities to celebrate.

Our History focus for this week was to learn who the Queen is, what her roles are and why we are having a jubilee celebration. In PE have learnt to serve in tennis and practised bowling and throwing accurately at the stumps in cricket. At the end of our swimming lesson on Wednesday we enjoyed a ‘fun swim!’

As part of Spirituality Week we planted wild flower seeds and created prayer cards for a Year 5 child. It was wonderful to meet with them and exchange our cards earlier today.  Click here for some photos of this special time with Year 5.

Have a wonderful half term

Welcome back, I hope you had a wonderful holiday.

In class this week we read Luke’s account of the Resurrection and created pictures with the characters and symbols mentioned. Thank you for the beautiful Easter gardens that the children made over the Easter break.

In English we have been busy editing, while in Guided Reading we have used our inference and retrieval skills to answer comprehension questions.

 

We have been working hard in maths to learn how to find 1/2 , 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 1/3 and 2/3 of different amounts.

We started outdoor adventure in P.E. where we have to work sensibly and effectively in groups to find clues and solve problems. This week we had to find objects about the outdoor area using picture cards, take selfies on the iPad next to the objects and then exchange our selfies for letters that were used to crack a code!

In Science, we have tested which materials allow light to pass through them and what makes a material suitable for making certain objects.

Have a great weekend

In Religion this week, we retold The Last Supper using Book Creator on the iPads and listened to the story from Luke’s Gospel about the crucifixion.

We took part in an Easter egg hunt this morning, which was a lot of fun. Thank you for your Easter cards and gifts.

It was lovely to return to school on Thursday. Thank you for your well wishes.

As part of Science week we thought about what scientists do. We took part in a Science workshop and observed what was growing in the school grounds. Each class are going to take part in a competition to grow the tallest sunflower, wish us luck.

In Maths the children have been solving problems using their addition and subtraction skills. Next week we will be using our multiplication skills to count in 2s, 5s and 10s before dividing by 2, 5 and 10.

On Thursday, we celebrated St Patrick’s Day by watching and taking part in Irish dancing at lunchtime. Clodagh and Eloise were fantastic in the whole school display!

In computing we have been predicting and planning the outcome of a program and following sequences.
