What a productive week of discoveries and drama! This week we have learned to describe settings - first by imagining we are on the island which Prospero and Miranda are shipwrecked upon, in our play, ‘The Tempest.’ Then we whipped up our own class storm, with frenzy and cries of ‘Take in the Topsail!’ and ‘Mercy on us! We split! We Split!’ Children then wrote another setting description of this tremendous storm.
We got stuck into our Science this week, learning all about properties of solids, liquids and gases. By investigating, we proved that gas is matter even though we cannot see it! We love the way this class really tries to figure things out for themselves - they search for understanding! They are a marvellous bunch!
Mathematics has been all about finding the Perimeter of shapes this week. Lots of great problem solving!
In RE we have moved on to thinking about ‘Jesus our Teacher.’ We looked at stories from the bible about Jesus as a child. There are not many but even as a boy he was to be found teaching others about God. We thought about what Jesus wants us to learn.
Let’s Celebrate!
This week, Ben B. received a certificte for being an improving and inquisitive learner. you are lovely to teach Ben because you strive to improve in all you do and you challenge yourself at every opportunity.
Isaac received a certificate for being a focused and determined learner. I love the way you will try different strategies to solve a problem until you have got it! You put so much thought into what you do and you listen so intently.
Well done boys!
Swimming stars this week were Rose and Theo. Excellent listening so that you can improve your strokes.
PE stars were Dominic and Rex for excellent effort and focus!
Music stars were Niamh and Cora for super clarinet playing.
Notices
Holy Communion - Please read the important letter below outlining what to expect in the next few weeks and important dates. Then fill in the online form to express commitment to the programme.
Please could we ensure that all homework is completed by Thursday each week.
Judo classes - Friday 7:55am
Lip balms and creams. Please could we ask that children only bring these in if absolutely necessary. If they do need to apply lip balm, they need to keep them on the teacher’s desk, not in their bags or pencil cases, as some children have been sharing them with one another. It is classed as a medicine and needs to be overseen by an adult.
Have a restful weekend.
