Year 5 have been busy learning to read, speak and write in French. Holly and Jordan wrote a super paragraph all about themselves and their family and had a go at reading it out loud. Year 5 are very lucky to have Mrs Brooks who teaches French weekly to both classes, so far the children have learnt…

It’s been a day for excellent work today. Emma and Elsie popped along to my office to show their excellent work on solids, liquids and gases. 

They were able to explain how the molecules within each of these states of matter were different and how to change from one state of matter to…

Rasmus and Alicia (6MB) both came along to my office today to show me their excellent problem solving with fractions in Maths today. I was very impressed with their systematic working and the ease in which they could explain their strategies.

In PE this week we explored using hoops.

We practised hula hooping, skipping with our hoop and rolling it.

It was hard work. We were all excited to learn something new!

Last Friday, I spoke to the children about our new Christian Values and asked the children if they could write their own prayers reflecting one of these values.

Over the weekend, it occurred to me that it may be useful for the children to have a 'prompt' in order to reflect upon what these…
