Thank you so much for all your effort in these wonderful costumes for World Book Day! The focus of our day was on telling stories this year. Children had an amazing time telling stories about their object and reciting our class story ‘Brer Fox and the White Plums,’ to their Year 1 friends.

The class are really excelling at their performance of Romeo and Juliet - they are delivering their lines with such power and are such a good team! We have done lots of practice for it this week. We have also learned about the structure of a volcano in our Geography lessons and how they erupt. In maths this week, we have been starting to do some timed tests with our ‘Going for Gold,’ times tables facts. Each day, we get better, We are going into depth now at relationships between the tables in our maths lessons. In English, we have learned how to write similes this week, we have learned what pronouns are and have also learned how to use the apostrophe for possession.

It was lovely to see so many of you at our book look on Wednesday and to see the pride on the children’s faces - they should feel proud, they do so much and are improving every day. There is an alternative date underneath for a quick look, if you could not make it.

Conversation starters

This week in Geography, we learned about volcanoes and how they erupt. Can you talk together about this? We are also learning about rocks in Science. What kind of rocks come from volcanoes? Are any erupting at the moment?

Let’s Celebrate!

This week, the certificates went to William, Isioma and Lily. We have been so impressed with your enthusiasm and determination in all learning - but your acting is really stunning. All three of you have such powerful presences on stage and listen to all my advice. Well done!

Loving and Compassionate butterflies
