The highlight of this week has got to be the 'Skipping Festival' we attended on Wednesday.
The children had a fantastic time! They all got a chance to skip during the morning, learning some new skills along the way. We got some bronze, silver and gold awards for individual skips and our skipping teams. The children should be very proud of their resilience, sportsmanship and overall behaviour at the event.
In English we have continued with our poetry unit. The children have written diamante poems about Africa. Next week we are beginning a new story to inspire our writing.
In maths we have been recapping on subtraction. We have focused on subtractions that cross the tens. The children have been using exchanging to solve these number sentences.
In PE we have started to prepare for next week's Sports Day. Let's hope the weather is kind!
Have a wonderful weekend.

A shorter week for the children but as always a very busy one!
In English we have continued to use the story 'Lila and the Secret of Rain' to inspire our writing. We have been writing 'Diamante' Poems. These are poems written in the shape of a diamond using nouns, verbs and adjectives. The children have written some wonderful poems. Next week we will be writing Africa inspired poems using the same structure.
In maths we have been partitioning numbers in different ways using tens and ones. The children have worked well in pairs using base 10 to find as many different ways as they can. We have also been recapping on subtraction where there is no crossing of the tens, trying hard to improve our mental skills.
We are continuing our topic 'African Adventure' this half term. This week we have been comparing a typical school day for a child in Urban Kenya with our own school day. We have listed similarities and differences.
Next week is our Skipping Festival and the children have been busy working on their skips. I am sure it will be a wonderful morning for all the children.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Today sees a very different end to a half term with the children making some of their own rules. It is hard to believe that after this holiday we will be in the final half term of this school year.
This week we have continued our work looking at the Human and Physical Features of both Urban and Rural Kenya. The children have used this knowledge to think about where they would prefer to live (Rural or Urban Kenya). They have used geographical reasons for their answers.
In English we have been planning and writing a different version of the story 'Lila and the Secret of Rain'. The children have written some amazing stories and enjoyed sharing them with a partner and some the whole class. We will be continuing this story after the holidays using it to inspire some poetry writing.
We have lots of exciting things to look forward to after the holidays. Our Skipping Festival and trip to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park to name but a few.
Have a wonderful holiday!
