R.E.

This week the children looked at Biblical metaphors and discussed that because we cannot see or touch God we use the world around us for people and things that are, in some way, like him. The children came up with their own metaphors of what God is like for them.

Rooted in Love lesson- Our focus in on Creation this half term. We joined Year 4 and learnt all about how the world is gifted to us by God and we shared ideas of how we can appreciate that gift.

English

The children finished drafting their final pieces this week and spent a lot of time and effort writing them up in neat. Their drawings are nearly finished and will then be displayed to match their writing.

The children will be reading and learning about Fantastic Mr Fox and are welcome to bring in their home copies to read in class.

Maths

The children worked well to identify 1 , 10 or 100 more and less of given numbers and had to really think about which digit needs to change.
They also revisited number lines but they went all the way up to 1000 in different intervals. They worked well to explore what they think it went up in.

PE

In PE this week the children were demonstrating different, graceful ways of getting from the floor to the ground and vice versa. They also looked at how they can perform symmetrically and asymmetrically.

 

Reminders:

  • Reading books to be in school every day please.

 

We wish you a peaceful weekend and look forward to next week,

This week your children should come home with a Christmas Card design sheet in their bags. This is for our annual Christmas card project run by Emma Linden on behalf of FOPPS. Please send your child’s design back into school by next Friday 11th October. Christmas cards with their design will be able to be purchased later on in the term. We shall organise a design collection box by the back door in the KS2 playground. Please do not give the design in to the office.
