Our new virtues this half term are ‘Attentive and Discerning.’ We have taken time in class to pick apart what these tricky concepts mean. We decided to be attentive is to notice important things in situations and to be discerning is to make good choices about what then to do.

We have had a super week! This week we have learned about co-ordinates in maths - how to plot them and how to translate shapes. Children have been very attentive and have picked this up easily! We have been gathering content for a story we will write next week in English, called ‘The Dragon Slayer,’ and we have learned all about Anglo-Saxon forms of justice in History. We definitely did not agree with the effectiveness of some of them! We have also learned numbers to 31 in French and solved calculations in French!

In RE this week, children have been learning about the Ascension of Jesus into heaven. We have thought about those poor apostles - not knowing what to do, hiding in a room, afraid to step outside. Next week, we will learn how they were blessed with strength and courage at Pentecost.

Let’s Celebrate!

This week, Elsie has received a determined and reflective learner certificate for always striving to master concepts and participating fully in class

Pippa has received a brave and co-operative certificate for risking being wrong when having a go with French pronunciation and being a kind, considerate friend to others.

Erin has received a focused and determined learner certificate for being so attentive in all lessons and being determined to succeed.
