We have had a delightful week where her main focus has been on her majesty, the Queen. We have learned all about our Royal family and children have written a biography all bout this wonderful lady. We have also learned all about the Commonwealth and what it is. Children made flags for different commonwealth countries. They also made portraits of the queen. Even maths has been linked in some lessons to the Jubilee this week! We have had flag symmetry, dressing the queen in different combinations of outfits and bar charts showing which monarch has ruled the longest.

On Wednesday, we had our wonderful picnic lunch to celebrate. What a joyful experience as all children in the whole school mixed for the first time in YEARS! All children were give a special coin to commemorate the Platinum Jubilee.

In other news, westarted our new Science topic on Sound. We also finished our novel - Odd and the Frost Giants. Children now have reading fluency partners for the last half term and we are working on our fluency -this involves reading at a quick enough pace to get meaning, being able to decode every word they read and reading with expression, using the punctuation. Please practise this at home too.

In our worship this week, we have learned about how we can use the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We also watched a lovely worship about faith prepared and delivered by these children:

Let’s Celebrate!
