A fantastic start for these children!
Welcome back to school for Summer 1 – the countdown to your children moving up to Year 6! Every morning, the children have been listening to a little snippet of opera as they entered the classroom. (The song from Mr Bean most certainly gained the biggest reaction – O Mio Babbino Caro!)
In Maths, we have been completing a unit on Statistics– the children have done very well with this unit; homework this week reflects this new learning – tables, charts and timetables.
Thursday morning was another time when all of UKS2 worked together – we launched our new topic of Ancient Greece. Time was spent in each of the three classrooms, delving into art, literacy and geography and the enthusiasm was very evident. We are all looking forward to further work on this exciting period of history.
This term’s class novel is by Maz Evans and is called ‘Who Let the Gods out?’ The children have looked at the cover, made predictions and read/ listened to the first four chapters. It is a fantastic book – full of humour and adventure and everyone seems to be enjoying it so far.
PE this term is Athletics and Striking Games– two fun lessons have happened already this week. We have been practising basic skills so to start off with, but we will soon move onto small games of Rounders or cricket.
PE sessions for Oak Tree Class this term revert back to Mondays and Thursdays.
As you can tell, it has been a busy start – and I haven’t even mentioned the fabulous songwriting project in our ukulele session with Mr Jennings – more about that next week!
Have a super weekend.
Yours,
Mrs Adrienne Amos
