A super well done to these pupils this week!
And the long term continues….! Just one week to go! But in the past week, we have been very busy in Oak Tree Class again.
SPaG and Reading have dominated our English lessons this week and the children have learned lots of new aspects of English: namely, possessive apostrophes and summarising – but we begin a very exciting unit on Onomatopoeia next week!
Maths has been all about solving word problems in addition and subtraction and ensuring all children have a sound method for these two operations. Homework shall also reflect this.
We had our final hockey lessons in PE and both Sam and I are really pleased to see how the children’s hockey skills have developed over the half term. We are looking forward to our inter-house tournament next week – keep your fingers crossed for kind weather!
Our most exciting learning over the past couple of weeks has been researching and presenting historical information about the jobs children did during the Victorian era. This week saw the finished products of all their labour and the children spent an interesting afternoon explaining their researched facts to their small groups.
Pretty soon we are looking at Marble Runs in DT, before we start to design and build one. If you have one kicking about that we could borrow, please do send in with your child!
It has been lovely to meet everybody at Parents’ Evenings this past week - I hope you have a splendid weekend!
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
