I can’t believe we are at the end of the Spring term!  I must admit it is lovely having the sun shining a bit more this week and the lighter mornings and evenings.

The children have been working really hard completing their assessments this week.  It has been amazing seeing the progress the children have made since the start of the academic year.  I am so proud of them all.

It hasn’t been all work and no play though!  In Art, the children focused on motifs with repeated pattern using wooden block printing. It’s great to see the children using their creativity and expressing their individuality.  The children also took part in a spring treasure hunt.  They had to work together to solve clues to unlock a bag of goodies.

I hope you all have a wonderful break.  See you in April.

This week in Geography we made a class water cycle.  We have been observing our water cycle each day to see if the precipitation has been collected in the cup we positioned in the middle of it. Next week, we will de construct the water cycle and see what changes have occurred.

In our art lessons the children have created their own printing templates based on animals.  We will use these to print with in our next lesson.  The children also enjoyed practicing their clay skills.

There is no maths homework this week.  If your child would like to practice their times table skills they can use the following websites.

Daily 10 – Mental Maths Challenge – Topmarks

Hit the Button – Quick fire maths practise for 6-11 year olds (topmarks.co.uk)

Have a wonderful weekend.

What a jam packed week! From live STEM lessons to becoming poets on national poetry day we have certainly been busy!

On Wednesday we were lucky enough to take part in a live lesson organised by the NFU. It informed the children of where all the ingredients were sourced to create a  tandoori chicken dish.  Including the butchering of a chicken, milling wheat for the flat bread and a robot milking cows!  The children also got to see an impromptu calf entering the world! The session was very interactive with the chef asking the children different questions.

Thursday was national poetry day and the children wrote a poem based on a subject of their choice.  They began by creating a word bank around their subject before creating their final poem.  The class were all very intrigued by my poem about cups of tea!!

Have  a great weekend all.

Mrs McLean

Just a quick reminder that your child will be bringing maths homework home this afternoon to be returned Wednesday.  It is work that we have covered in class this week, therefor the  children should be able to complete it independently.

Have a great weekend,

Mrs McLean

What a week!

I hope the children all enjoyed sports day yesterday.  It was wonderful to see the children working together as a team and cheering each other on.  A highlight has to be the parents race, this will definitely be made a permanent fixture so get your training in ready!

The children have been busy in maths this week continuing with time and in English they have been writing recounts. Next week, they will be writing a recount of sports day.

Have a lovely weekend.
