A very hot end to the week!
The highlight of this week was our 'Skipping Festival' on Wednesday at Leeds Trinity University. The children all had an amazing time and skipped their hearts out! We had a few wins too both for individual skips and both group skips. The children all showed great resilience and determination. Most importantly though they all enjoyed themselves. I was very proud of them all!
We have continued our writing, in English, based on the book 'Somebody Swallowed Stanley'. The children have planned and written their own versions of the story creating their own main character. They enjoyed sharing their stories with each other saying what they enjoyed about other's stories.
In maths we have been recapping on 2D and 3D shapes. We have been using mathematical vocabulary to describe their properties.
Next week will see us going into the final 4 weeks of the term and year. We still have lots to do including our next DT project which is to plan and make our own bunting.
Enjoy your sunny weekend.

A fun packed week with Sports Day and more DT Lunchbox Testing!
In English we have continued with the story 'Somebody Swallowed Stanley'. The children have created their own character inspired by a piece of rubbish. Next week they will be planning a different version of the story using their new character.
In maths we have continued our assessments. We have also been recapping on shape and charts and tables.
Sports Day on Wednesday was the highlight of the week. The children all had a great time and I was very impressed with their overall attitude and resilience.
On Wednesday afternoon, Mrs Hand, continued the Lunchbox Testing. Next week the children will be evaluating their designs.
Next week we have our Skipping Festival on Wednesday afternoon. Please make sure that your child comes to school in their PE kit that day. Thank you!
Enjoy your weekend of sunshine and showers.

A great first week back!
We started the week off by releasing our butterflies. We had 5 altogether which had been carefully looked after by ME in the holidays. The children enjoyed watching them develop and finally being released.
In English we have started a new book called 'Somebody Swallowed Stanley'. The children have been making predictions about the story and describing the main character 'Stanley'. The book has also inspired some great discussions about looking about our environment and plastic pollution.
In maths we have been very busy. We have been recapping on mental and written strategies to solve both arithmetic and reasoning problems. We have also had a recap on both 2D and 3D shapes.
On Wednesday the children enjoyed an afternoon of testing with Mrs Hand. They were testing their lunchboxes to see if they could be sent across a rope. Part of their design brief was that the boxes must be able to be sent across a rope to the Pirate Ship.
We have also been busy getting ready for Sports Day. We look forward to seeing some of you there on Wednesday morning.
Have a great weekend!
