Thank you to all the children who have been working hard on their spellings, reading at home, and going on TT Rockstars.\u00a0 It is great to see the children taking responsibility for their own learning with a little nudge from an adult at home too I’m sure, thank you for your support.\u00a0 Maths has involved problem solving and more number line work this week.\u00a0 In English, we are nearly at the end of the Paddington story.\u00a0 We are all really enjoying finding out about Paddington’s adventures and the many quandaries he gets himself into!!\u00a0 We will be planning our own chapter next week and writing our own version, I look forward to being able to share those with you.\u00a0 We are also coming to the end of our topic ‘Light’ in Science and are very close to solving the crime!\u00a0 Finding out about the size of shadows depending on their proximity to the light source was our investigation this week.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll let you know the date of the non-uniform day as soon as it is confirmed. Children have been completing their Christmas card designs in school this week so as soon as the samples are ready you will be sent them along with an order form, all profits from card sales go towards the PTA funds. If you would like to help out with the PTA or find out more about what we do, there is a closed Facebook group you can request to join, or speak to Mrs Sharpe and she will put you in touch with us \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
