Good afternoon
Below you will some of the fun activities we have used to hook the children into their written descriptive piece of work - a character description of an ancient Roman gladiator. The children were really engaged in this and we look forward to the descriptions they write over the next few days as part of their first written assessment of the year.
Our first swimming lesson this week was really successful and the children have been allocated groups by the leisure centre staff which they will share with us on our next visit next week. Thank you for making sure they had the correct kit. A reminder that the coach run by the local authority leaves our school site at 9am so please ensure your child arrives promptly every Wednesday morning at 8:45am so they do not miss their swimming lesson.
In Maths, we have explored the place value of numbers up to 10,000 ready for our next unit of addition and subtraction. We have also reminded the children that if they do not understand their homework then they need to ask us before the Wed hand in day so they then have time to practise the skills.
We wish you all a happy and fun weekend.
Mr Dring and Miss Maher
