We are well and truly in our school stride now as we complete our second week being back together. One boy commented that it is lovely to feel part of our class family again and I completely agree. Children have had so much fun in the playground together and have been bouncing in their chairs with enthusiasm in class - quite literally!
In our RHE lessons this week, we have been learning about how we don’t have to be the same and like the same things to be good friends. We also learned in RE how we can try to be like Jesus as truly human and aspire to follow him. We revisited our Lenten promises we made and had a ‘halfway through Lent’ reflection to get us back on track. Each day we are remembering our key Jesuit values to grow in love and compassion for each other.
We have loved our Geography this week - finding out all about tectonic plates and earthquakes using oranges and Oreo biscuits! Your child has a task in homework to demonstrate this to you - see what they have learned!
We have had a great giggle writing persuasive letters from Brer Fox to Brer Rabbit then replying back again. We are also getting to grips with that tricky apostrophe for possession. Fractions learning in maths is also coming along nicely - we are now up to finding equivalent fractions.
Let’s Celebrate
This week , double whammy certificates!
I am awarding three Kiki Chameleon/Roger Robin certificates to three children who really considered their ideas and were so entertaining in their letter writing this week. These three children also receive Roger robin on their certificates because they are helpful, kind and level-headed when playing games on the playground and so co-operative within class too. Well done James, Stephanie and Isabella!
Our PE stars this week are Jess and Abi for super gymnastics but also getting really stuck in at team sports too!
Music stars this week were: Abi and Grace
Have a beautiful, Spring weekend everyone. I need to get in my garden and do some planting so lets hope for a good one! God bless.
Mrs Lyons, Miss Forster and Mrs Mather.
