Jazz music has ended the term for us in Oak Tree Class – Nina Simone’s ‘Feelin’ Good’ seemed to be the most preferred performance, I think.
The three performances of the Wizard of Oz this week have been incredible! I was so proud of each child and the important role they played – it seemed that everyone had a chance to shine. Many thanks, again, for your support with this show this term – from line learning and costume buying! From raffle ticket buying to attending the show – some of you even helping out with the FORP support. Wow! So amazing! I feel so lucky to be working with your children (and some of you, too!) – and many thanks for the flowers, fizz and gifts; I felt quite overwhelmed on Wednesday night. Mr Jennings was also chuffed! I know Mr Cooke has mentioned the show in his newsletter and that some pics have been uploaded onto the RPPS and Nursery Facebook page.
Just one more week to go until Easter – and in this week, we have the Scholastic Book Fair each evening, a trip to the local church and a ‘Wrap Party’ following the show.
In maths, we continue to work hard on percentages and once this work is completed, it is hoped that all the children’s arithmetic test scores will improve – I spoke to many of you at the last Parents’ Evening about this.
In English, we are continuing to write adventure stories about a yeti and we finished reading our class novel, King of the Cloud Forests too. Please do continue with home reading with your child. Even in Y5, this is so essential to the progress each child makes.
I hope you all have a restful weekend – just spellings and maths homework this week.
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
