Another week flies by!
We have carried on with work on fractions in our maths this week, moving onto unit and non-unit fractions of shapes and amounts.
In English we have continued to work on letter writing features in preparation for our own letters next week.
On Wednesday we had an exciting visit from famous adventurer James Ketchell. We had a fantastic inspirational assembly and learned about the amazing adventures he had been on and how he never thought we would be able to do some of the amazing things he has done. He spoke to the children about the importance of resilience, hard work, determination and that never give up attitude in everything they do.
We then had a great workshop with James later in the morning where James spoke to us about the equipment from his Everest expedition. We had some excellent volunteers in Willow who tried on the clothes and a equipment and we all tried out his tent at the end of the session. We also got to try out his vacuum packed long life chocolate chip dessert! It was lovely!!!
Y3 had some great questions and discussion with James and really gained a lot from the experience.
Thank you to the FORP for raising money for this and organising the visit!
Have a great weekend guys and try something new!
