A week to remember

Date: 12th Nov 2016 @ 3:32pm

This week has been a week to remember in so many different ways.

Friday saw our whole school remembrance service which gave us all time to reflect and remember the fallen. Our two minute silence was impeccably observed by all. The children had many questions to ask about Armistace Day and we had a thought provoking discussion about it. For their homework, the children have been asked to write a poem designed to remember the fallen. I am looking forward to reading them on Monday morning.

In our maths lessons this week we have been looking at multiplication. If anything, this series of lessons taught us that it is vitally important to know our tables. It would be great if adults at home would complement the work we are doing in school by helping us learn our tables.

English has been a particular highlight of the week. We have been exploring different types of poems. The 3 types of poems we have looked at in depth are; Kennings, Haikus and Tankas. The children have written some fabulous poems and had the chance to read them out loud to their peers!

Our new guided reading book is Bill's New Frock. The children are really intrigued to find out how Bill has ended up wearing a frock!

We have been learning about the digestive system in Science. Where does our food actually go after we have put it in our mouth? We are looking forward to exploring this in more detail in next Wednesday's lesson.

In Geography, we have been focusing on the country Italy. We now know which continent it is in, its capital, what countries it borders and what oceans surround it!! We have been busy.

Congratulations to Harvey who won out Star Badge award this week for his brilliant times tables knowledge. A big well done to Ruby and Charlie who topped the Dojo charts this week!

That's all for now! Have a great weekend.
