Good afternoon,
I was very impressed today by how committed the children were to wearing their spotty and Pudsey outfits to raise money for Children In Need. Thank you for all of your support.
This week we have looked at character descriptions in English and have really focused on adding and subtracting fractions. One child who has done this particularly well and is this week’s Golden Certificate Winner is Jess – congratulations.
We have continued our science unit by recapping our understanding of symbols for components, ready for our investigation. In computing, we have continued our focus on websites and the children have started designing their own.
Please keep up the daily reading,
Mr Reynolds and Miss Nicholas

13th -17th November
Anti-Bullying Week 2023 will take place from Monday 13th – Friday 17th November
The purpose of the week is to raise awareness of bullying.
Bullying is the unwanted, aggressive behaviour that involves a real or perceived power imbalance, that is repeated.
Our focus will be looking at prevention and effective responses. During the week, to help raise the profile, we would like the children to wear odd socks each day to celebrate that we are all different.
Children in Need on Friday 17th November
On Friday 17th November it is Children in Need. To help celebrate Children in Need we would like everyone to embrace the theme of ‘SPOTacular’. Rather than wearing their school uniform, on Friday 17th November, the children can come in wearing something spotty. We will also be collecting donations to send off to the charity.

The children have worked very hard this half term and I am really impressed with the quality of their work. This week we have finished our poetry unit in English and our four operations unit in maths.
One child this week who has worked particularly hard and produced a great poem, and is this week’s Golden Certificate winner is Lily-Ann – congratulations.
I hope the children have a well rested break an keep up the reading,
Mr Reynolds and Miss Nicholas
Willow – 13.10.23
Good afternoon,
I have been really impressed with how hard the children have been working this week and some of the work that is being produced is fantastic.
This week we concluded our investigation into mould, where the children studied how successful they were and thought of ways that they could have potentially changed their investigation to make it more successful. In geography we have been looking at the uses of a river at various points along its course. In English, we have continued to explore non-chronological reports.
One child who has done particularly well this week and is Willow’s Golden Certificate Winner is Teigan – congratulations.
This week the Parents Evening letters went out, spaces are filling up fast so please try and return them on Monday to have a better chance at getting a time slot that suits you.
As always please keep up the daily reading at home. I hope you have a great weekend,
Mr Reynolds

Good afternoon,
The children have produced some fantastic non-chronological reports on an animal of their choice; they have thought about the content and the presentation. In maths, we have continued to look at the four operations, particularly multiplication and division.
In geography we have continued to look at the features of a river and in which part of the river we are more likely to find certain features. In our classification study, in science, we have begun to look at viruses, bacteria and mould.
This week’s Golden Certificate winner is George, for his hard work through the week, particularly in English.
Please keep encouraging the children to keep up their daily reading.
Hope you have a great weekend,
Mr Reynolds
