Good afternoon,
We have had a busy week this week, with the children working very hard and really testing their understanding, particularly in maths. We have been looking at shape and the need to be accurate whilst drawing them. In English we have studied a short clip called ‘The Piano’, the children have been writing flashbacks based on this and have really understood the emotion behind the main character. One child who has particularly focused well this week and tried very hard and is our Golden Certificate winner is Jess – congratulations.
In computing the children have really got to grips with 3D design and produced some very impressive looking and practical designs for a new pencil case. We continued our study of Europe in geography and have begun to look at the differences in ancient Athens and ancient Sparta in History.
Please keep encouraging the children to read daily and if possible log on to Mathletics and SPAG.com.
I hope you all enjoy the extended weekend,
Mr Reynolds, Mrs Davies and Miss Nicholas
