Well what a busy start to the last half term of this school year.
The children have all come back to school with a really positive attitude and lots of stories about their sunny half term holidays.
Our topic this half term is a continuation from last half term. This week we looked at Urban and Rural Kenya and talked about some of the Physical and Human Features we might find.
In English we have started a new story called 'Mama Panya's Pancakes'. This story is set in a Rual Kenyan Village. The children have been planning and writing an invitation to a friend to come to share pancakes with Mama Panya.
In maths we have been looking at 'reasoning' questions involving number. We have also been reminding ourselves of the best strategies to use when working out our answers.
The highlight of the week has been Sports Day. I was very impressed with the children's attitude and resilience especially given the rather wet conditions.
Next week we have another exciting sporting event with our Skipping Festival. You should have all recieved an email with details about this event.
Enjoy your weekend. Let's hope the sun decides to come out again soon.

Well, once again, we have reached the end of another half term.
We have certainly packed alot in in the past 5 weeks.
This week in English we have been writing our own versions of 'Lila and the Secret of the Rain'. We changed the problem to too much rain and so the story became the Secret of the Sun! The children all did an amazing job and tried hard to inlcude all the key parts of the story.
In maths we have continued to recap on arithmetic questions. We have also been recapping on both 2D and 3D shapes.
We have lots of exciting things to look forward to next half term including the Skipping Festival and our trip to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park.
Please remember the Sports Day will be the first Wednesday back so all children need to come to scholl in their PE Kit.
Enjoy your, hopefully, sunny half term.

An unusually cold and wet week in school. Some children have even had hats and gloves on this week at breaktimes.
In English we have continued to use the story of 'Lila and the Secret of Rain' to inspire our writing. The children have created their own story maps and used key vocabulary from the story to orally re-tell the story. Next week we will be planning and writing the story with some slight changes.
In maths we have been focusing on arithmetic and solving number sentences using all 4 operations.
I had the pleasure of teaching the Art this week. We continued our work on sculptures looking at lines and geometric shapes. The children used marshmallows and spaghetti to create their own sculptures using lines and shapes. I was very impressed with their determination and skill. Unfortunately the nature of the materials used meant that the sculptures could not be kept.
Next week is the last one before the end of the half term. This year really is going very fast!
Happy weekend.
