Hello everyone,
Wow – that half term really flew by! I can’t quite believe the next one is even shorter. The children have packed so much in already this year and we have still have so many exciting things ahead!
A big thank you to everyone who was able to come along to our open afternoon on Wednesday. I know the children were incredibly proud to show off their work – and rightly so!
In English, we’ve been writing non-chronological reports about the Women's Land Army. The children worked hard to organise their information clearly and include all the key features of this style of writing. I’ve been really impressed with how confidently they are using headings, subheadings and factual language.
We also had a visit from Hello Vets, who spoke to the children about what it’s like to work as a vet. They learned all about the different roles within the profession and asked some fantastic questions – we may well have a few future vets in Year 4!
And of course, we ended the week with the school disco. I think it’s fair to say the bubble machine was a huge success – along with some very enthusiastic dancing!
After half term, we’re straight back into the excitement. On Wednesday, the children will be heading to Young Voices at The O2. It’s always such an amazing event and a real highlight of the year. They’ve worked so hard learning the songs and I know they’ll be brilliant.
Then on Thursday, we kick off our new History topic on Ancient Egypt with an in-school workshop. The children are very welcome to dress up – the more pharaohs, mummies and archaeologists the better! It should be a fantastic way to start the topic.
Just a quick reminder that Geography projects are due in during the first week back. The children need to create a poster, presentation or video explaining how their local woodland is used and why it is important. I’m really looking forward to seeing their creativity shine through.
I hope you all have a lovely, restful and safe February half term. Enjoy the break and I’ll see you all back ready for another busy (and slightly shorter!) half term.
Best wishes,
Mr Chanter
