We hope you have a Happy and Holy Easter!
Each year group was given two stations of the cross to design. We were given the 1st Station: Jesus is condemned to death and the 8th Station: Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem. Below is a picture of our Head Boy and Girl, Reuben and Audrey, with our two stations. Fr Jim will be displaying all 14 stations over in church, during the Triduum.
Here’s what we have been doing this week…
In Maths, we have been finding relationships between numbers and then writing this as an algebraic formula. So if we notice a set of number had been timesed by 2 and then had 3 added to them, our formula was 2n + 3. We also started to look at ratio…we will pick this up again after half term.
In English, we have completed and edited our independent write. We just managed to get them finished before breaking up, and I cannot wait to read over them all!
In Computing, we completed another coding activity, using BitsBox. We are now becoming so much more confident with creating algorithms and debugging, that some of us got on to creating completely new codes!
In RE, we have been looking at the Easter Triduum: Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. We refamiliarised ourselves with the events that took place on each of these days and then explained Jesus actions-what did they mean for us? Why did he do this? How has it help to shape our faith?
We have also been watching special assemblies delivered by Miss Haggerty, for each day of Holy Week. It has been lovely to share in worship with Miss Haggerty and reflect on this poignant week.
We also made our Easter cards….
AWARD WINNERS!
This week’s Golden Award went to Theo for being a ray of sunshine! He brightens the classroom with his positive outlook on life and his great sense of humour!
The Writing Award went to Megan for her effective choices of language in her independent write. Her use of similes and metaphors really helped to create a vivid image in the reader’s mind.
The Maths award was given to Lily for her consistently high score with our ‘Fluent in 5’. She also did an amazing job at recognising relationships between numbers and putting that into an algebraic formula.
I would also like to congratulate Ryan this week, as he won our class Bedrock competition. receiving an Easter egg as his prize. He earned the most points, and won by quite a stretch!
A huge well done also goes to the winners of our Partner Points for this half term. Hollie & Theo, Grace B & Audrey and Charlie & Claire, all received a special treat today for winning the most points, for their fab partner work! They were treated to some extra play and and some sweet treats…
NOTICES:
We return to school on Monday 12th April, and start and finishing times will remain the same: 8.40am drop off and 3.15pm pick up. 1.05pm pick up on Fridays.
PE days after half term will remain the same-Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please ensure your child is not wearing earrings on these days.
We have enjoyed some lovely weather this week! If this weather does continue after half term, please ensure your child in wearing sun screen on these hotter days.
I have not set any homework over the Easter break, but the class are more than welcome to access Bedrock and TT RockStars, should they wish to.
THANKYOU!
I have to say a heartfelt thank you to all of my class and to all parents for your support and hard work over this term. it had been a term of ups and downs, but your continued efforts and support have made it that bit easier! I can hardly believe we will be entering the last term of their primary journey, upon our return. We will be sure to make it the best!
I hope you all have a Happy and Holy Easter-God bless.
