This week was very special as, on Wednesday, it marked the beginning of Lent. We all went over to Mass and received ashes on our forehead to remind us who/what this important time of the year is about, as we lead up to Easter. In class, we have all made our own Lenten promises; however, just like Fr Jim spoke about during his homily, we are not going around telling everybody our promise. This is a personal thing for each of us to try to fulfill on our Lenten journey.
This week…..
In Maths, we have had a big focus on Arithmetic. We have been answering lots of questions and exploring the different methods we can use to work each question out. It has been great to see the children sharing their methods with each as well!
In English, we have been doing our Classic Fiction ‘big write’. I am SO impressed with the standard of the writing the class are producing! Some of us need to be more consistent with punctuation and spelling; however, all of the class have been trying their very hardest!
In Science, we are researching Charles Darwin, in preparation to write a mini-biography on him.
AWARD WINNERS:
This week’s Golden Award went to Jimmy, as he is such a caring and considerate member of the class.
This week’s Writing Award went to Bethany for her great choice of language in her Classic Fiction write.
Enjoy your weekend!
Miss Slater, Miss Evans & Mrs Murray
