It was wonderful to see so many of you at the carnival on Sunday – the children looked great in their printed t-shirts – we hope you enjoyed seeing our art work at the exhibition.

It was also lovely that so many parents and grandparents joined us for our class Mass. I’m sure you’ll agree that the children read and sang with reverence.

Thank you for supporting Gloria in year 6 by wearing purple and making a donation to JIA.

The children have been combining their ICT and maths skills this week – identifying different types of angles and using QR codes to check their answers and create their own codes.

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Pringle

Home learning – Spag and mathletics online.

This  week has been filled with science. We have identified the parts of flowering plants – identified the role of each part and made careful observations. We are also observing the roots of various plants found in the school ground to see how much they grow in 2 weeks. I look forward to seeing many of the children at the Carnival on Sunday in their poppy t-shirts. Please come and support our football team at 2.15pm after the parade at Elm Court.

Home learning will be spag.com and mathletics online.

We had a lovely start to the week celebrating our grandparents.  It was wonderful to welcome so many special family members into our class and share our learning with them.

In maths we have been learning to tell the time – I have been really impressed with the children’s focus during this topic. Please encourage the children over the holidays to read the time and estimate how long journeys or tasks might take.

We have been inspired by our art lessons to start planning non chronological reports in English about dragons – what imaginations the children have! In science we have been learning about flowering plants. It was brilliant to see so many children walk to school on Tuesday in their ‘happy shoes’ – well done Year 3.

Spirituality week has given the children to reflect and say thank you for the love of their families. The children really enjoyed taking part in the prayer stations with year 6 and writing prayers with their parents in class at celebration morning.

Home learning

There will not be any formal home learning set across the school for the break but please practise your timetables (4, 5, 8, 9, 12 depending on your child’s targets) read and practise your spellings.

Here are the class spellings for the next 4 weeks (please read from left to right)

Have a restful break,

Miss Pringle

This week we have been learning about The Ascension – the children sang beautifully at Church on Thursday and those who had made their Holy Communion were very excited to receive the body and blood of Jesus again during the Mass.

In science we have been learning about our organs and what they do. We have made life size, ‘working’ models.

We made the most of the sunshine in our maths lesson, where we tested our measuring skills by taking hourly measurements of our shadows! After rounding our measurements to the nearest 10 we plotted them on a graph. These lessons also sparked lots of discussions about the movement of the sun – which was great!
