What a lovely worship we had this week, led by these three children. It was all about Jesus’ Sacrifice and how He accepted the will of His father. Children’s message at the ned of the worship was to accept God’s plans for you and learn to listen to Him. We have delved deeply into the understanding of the consecration of bread and wine into Body and Blood and have been reflecting that when we receive the Body of Christ we become Christ’s body here on earth.
In English this week, the children wrote a persuasive letter from the father in the book - urging his daughter to come back home. These were so well thought out and emotive! What a super group of writers you are!
Maths has seen us delve further into reasoning about fraction size and understanding different representations of fractions. We have only one final multiplication fact to learn when mastering number - then we have gone for gold!
In French. children have learned numbers up to 100 and used this to help give a French weather report in different French cities - using compass points too!
In history this week, it was time for children to make some conclusions about the race we call the Vikings. Were they raiders or settlers? Could they give a balanced view, thinking about what recent evidence has shown? Children made zig-zag books to present their conclusions.
For PE this week, we tried to put elements of our gymnastic sequences created last week onto the apparatus. Also below are some pictures of our sound investigations here children discovered that sound is caused by vibration.
Conversation starters
Have a chat about Holy Communion. How do you feel about it? What does it mean to you? If parents made their First Holy communion, can they tell you what they remember about theirs?
Let’s Celebrate!
Tilly received a Kiki Chameleon certificate this week. You are really considering your tasks carefully and ensuring that your work is both creative and well thought out.
Joshua received a Bobby Bee/Clara Clownfish certificate. We called you our King of fractions this week! You noticed so many things! You are being a good listener and buzzing with your learning.
Learned and Wise butterflies
This half term we will be on the lookout for all the children that are learned in their actions, finding God in all things. Those who are wise, who use their learning for the common good. These are children who are trying to drive their own learning forward. This week our butterflies goes to John-Paul and Seth who have been stopping and thinking before they act and making wise decisions.

Notices
Holy Communion this Saturday and next Saturday. Please can children arrive at 9:15am at the priests house. Parents can then proceed into church and find your seat. We have allocated two pews per family. Children are very well-prepared and we are all really looking forward to the occasion.
Helmets- We are hoping to buy some scooters for outside use on the playground, for money we have won for being the BEST class (with Year 3 too) at walking to school! (Well done) We are wondering if anyone has any spare helmets their children no longer wear that they could kindly donate?
Rosary - The month of May is where we pray the rosary together. If children wish, they can bring in their own set for this month to use.
Date for diary: Tuesday 18th June Our Anglo Saxon/Viking trip to Tatton Park. Children need to come dressed as either an Anglo-Saxon or a Viking on this day. More information will be given nearer the time.
Enjoy a sunny scorcher of a weekend. We will see half of you bright and early on Saturday morning at church.
