Thank-you so much for the beautiful photographs you have sent in of the children’s baptisms - they are lovely to see. We have also bee treated to some children bringing in their candles and even certificates to share with us. If you haven’t yet had a chance to send in your child’s photo then you still can - there is no time limit!

This week we are celebrating the achievements of….

Golden Award - Mia for being a super star - beautiful manners, amazing work and wonderful attitude to learning

Writing Award - Lily for amazing writing at school and at home

Maths Award -

This week we have been learning……

English - we are making our way through the common exception words and using our phonic knowledge to work out how to read unknown words, particularly ‘alien words’….look out for more details about ‘alien words’ after half term. I will be running a parents session (date to be arranged) to explain this further and how you can help your child with this at home.

Maths - this week we have been applying our knowledge to addition and subtraction word problems….a little tricky but we are getting there now!

RE - we have looked at the sign and symbols of baptism and discussed why each one has a special role to play in the Sacrament of Baptism.

Science - in our Materials topic this week this week we looked at materials that were flexible and different textures of paper.

Topic - this week we looked at programming the Bee Bots to make their way around a pirate map to locate the treasure ad wrote some code to help our partners find objects on the map.

All the children have worked very hard this week and I am very proud of each and every one of them.
