Wow what a start to the summer term! We have all come back so well rested and ready to take on the challenges of the term! We have shown so much focus, bravery, reflection and most of all resilience this week! We could not ask the children to work any harder. This week we have received feedback from the papers we completed before half term and it is so wonderful to see them, not just focusing on their marks but celebrating their progress scores from previous paper. They are so reflective and have mastered a real positive approach, where they celebrate their successes but look carefully at the areas they know they need to work on, working in their learning partners to help one another…
Continuing to learn…
As expected, these final two weeks are all about revision and narrowing the gaps. The class have had detailed feedback on the papers that they have completed. They should now have a really focused list of revision material. The children know that their homework is all about revision and that they are leading this for themselves but you may just want to familiarise yourself with what has been given to them and offer support where needed. However, they have to be motivated to do well and to gather their own resources from class if they want extra revision material.
With a couple of bank holidays coming up, every day is crucial. Please ensure that your children are in school on time to maximise every learning opportunity.
In art, the children have loved starting their new topic, where they have al created a photomontage, inspired by the Dada art movement, why not ask them about this and what they have been creating in class.
We will be completing our last formal set of papers next week which will give the children an indication of the progress that they have made. Homework is live and all areas are a crucial tool to help your child revisit or practice skills.

Leading Learners
Well done to Christian and Harriet this week.
Christian we have been so impressed with your desire to focus on your work, you are really becoming such a concentrated Cooper Crab! You are approaching every lesson with such a calm, logical and focused approach and this is reflected in the progress you are making.
Harriet we love the way this week you have took all feedback in your stride. You have been super reflective in your approach, quietly celebrating the areas you have achieved and recognising what you need to work on. This determination and self-reflection will serve you well in the future- well done.
Attentive and Discerning Butterflies
This half term we will be on the lookout for all the children that are attentive to the big and small things, and to the response of others. We will also be spotting children who are discerning, who listen to what God’s calls us to be. This week we thank Lexi for being attentive and discerning.
This week we have the following children helping to take the younger children to their class:
