Hi,
The children have been busy completing a range of assessments this week. I have been impressed by their fantastic focus and maturity in the feedback sessions. The biographies on Thomas Barnardo have also been been completed and the children have taken great pride when publishing their work.
To complete the week, the children enjoyed beginning the practical element of their design and technology project 'Marbellous Structures'. They learned how to join materials in order to make a bridge. Please could the children continue to bring cardboard tubes into school to help complete this project.
Enjoy the weekend

Hi,
Some super writing in Maple Tree Class this week. The children have completed editing and improving their biographies on Thomas Barnardo and will be publishing next week. As always, they are eager to use the vocabulary we discuss in class and adventurous vocabulary of their own.
Both maths groups are working on fractions. My group has completed adding and subtracting and are now moving onto multiplying and dividing.
In history, we have started to discuss Victorian life in Yeadon. We focused on William Murgatroyd and will continue to learn about his impact in the local area.
Thank you for the bottles, jars and chocolates for the Christmas Fayre on Saturday. I know the children are looking forward to visiting it.
Have a fabulous weekend

Hi,
A shorter week at school but busy as ever.
The children have been busy researching about the life of the very famous Victorian Thomas Barnardo and have started to write a biography about him. This is supporting both the literacy and history curriculum.
In maths, my group has been focusing on converting fractions in order to add and subtract mixed numbers. The children are working hard to do this by choosing the most efficient method for the particular fractions involved. We will continue this work at the beginning of next week before moving onto multiplying and dividing fractions.
The children have enjoyed both odd socks day this week in support of anti-bullying week and a non-uniform day in support of Children in Need.
Preparations for UKS2 Christmas performance has begun....
Have a lovely weekend.
