Good afternoon,
It was lovely to see so many of you at the Harvest service this morning. The children were thrilled to perform their songs and truly enjoyed the experience! Also, thank you for your support at the Book Fair so far. Just a reminder that it will also be running on Monday and Tuesday of next week, so there’s still time to grab some great books.
In class this week, we’ve been diving into the fascinating story of the fall of the ancient city of Troy. The children have been captivated by the tale! In maths, we’ve explored Roman numerals and compared them to our modern number system, as well as practicing rounding numbers to 10, 100, and 1,000.
Now, to cut to the chase—this week in science, we’ve been making artificial poo! It’s all part of understanding the digestive system and how everything works, which has definitely been an interesting (and slightly messy) lesson for everyone.
In PSHE, we’ve been learning about rights, responsibilities, and democracy, discussing why these are so important to us and how they shape the way we live and work together.
Looking ahead to next week, some of the children will be taking part in the first of our sharing assemblies on Monday, where they will talk about the work they’ve been doing so far this year.
In English, we’ll be exploring the rise of Rome through the story of Romulus and Remus and practicing writing multi-clause sentences based on this exciting tale. In maths, we will be moving on to a new topic focused on addition and subtraction. Meanwhile, in art, we’ll continue our work inspired by Picasso. The children will be working on their own Cubist portraits, using geometric shapes, clear lines, and bold colours to create their masterpieces.
In other news, we’re excited to invite the children to take part in this year's 500 Word Challenge! It’s a fantastic opportunity for them to showcase their creativity and writing skills, with a chance to win some amazing prizes for themselves and the school. If your child would like to learn more or submit their entry, they can find all the details here: 500 Word Challenge.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
