At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them. This week is always a poignant week as we stop and remember all of those fallen victims of war and conflict. On Thursday we put aside some time to reflect and contemplated as we looked upon our beautiful display of poppies coming down our chapel, sharing prayers for everyone who has been affected by war and conflict around the world.
The week has flown by and we have done so much exciting and challenging learning. We have read more of our class novel this week, explored how to make a successful circuit and experimented whether mateirals were conductors of insulators through our human circuit- it was all very exciting! In RE we have started our Justice topic, where we reflected on the meaning of this word and firstly what it means.
Our Mathematics this week has been on fire and we are no unstoppable at ‘shifting the difference’ to make our subtractions easier and more efficient and using our reasoning skills to tackle problems.Very impressive!
Here are a few of our magic moments…
Kidsafe
This week, we have completed our 5th and final Kidsafe lesson, before our recap in summer term, about hearing parents/carers arguing. Please click the button below to find out more detail about this lesson.
As you are all probably aware, we have changed our first said system in school now, so that if your child has recieved a bump to the head/ or has had a bad graze then you will recieve a standard text mesage from school, as well as the letter. PLEASE do not be alarmed by this, this is just protocol, as we realise often letters get misplaced or do not always emerge from bags until the end of the week and we want to let you know. Letter do not need to be sent back now with a response. Thank you.
