Welcome back! I hope you all had a lovely half term. We have had a short week back at school but we have filled it with lots of fabulous learning! We have also celebrated Math’s Day and All Saint’s Day.
On Math’s Day the children spent the morning designing their very own theme park! They were business men and women with their own offices and some tricky decisions to make! They had to come up with a good plan in order for the bank to loan them the money they needed to build their park. This involved lots of teamwork and communication, as well as using skills such as measuring and calculating additions and subtractions. They did a fantastic job! Thank you for all the effort you made with the children’s outfits.
We celebrated All Saint’s Day on Friday at Church with a lovely Mass. The children behaved beautifully and I was very proud of them all. We have enjoyed learning about some saints this week and the way they lived their lives. Very inspiring! Due to us being at Mass on Friday no certificates have been handed out this week.
Here is what we have been learning about in our lessons…
Maths: we have learnt how to place numbers on a number line. We have also completed a problem solving and reasoning test.
English: we are continuing with our learning on information texts. We were also treated this week to a Marvels & Mayhem workshop by a lady called Emily who showed the children some fantastic resources about the Blackpool circus. The children then designed their own circus act.
Science: we have learnt about the three types of skeleton: endoskeleton, exoskeleton and hydrostatic skeleton.
R.E.: we learnt about different saints and created our own prayer to say thank you for three things we currently have; and asking for one thing we need help with. We chose which saint we wanted to pray to.
Notices:
this coming Tuesday will be our final yoga session. After that there will be no need for the children to wear their PE kit on a Tuesday
thank you for your donations to the shoebox appeal! I have been blown away by your kindness.
no homework this weekend - however, I have asked the children to read and have a go on times tables rock stars.
your child has brought home their first set of spellings for this term, please practice when you can! There will be an end of term test - date to be confirmed.
next Friday the children will be tested on their 2, 5 & 10 times tables - please practice!
It was so lovely to meet you all on Parent’s Day and I am very excited to see what the rest of the year brings.
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Heim-Sarac
