What an exciting week it has been! It’s not often that the first thing on a Monday morning is full of excitement and something new but this week it was as we carried out our fourth enrichment session. This time, the children were in Year 1 with Miss Drummond where they took part in some science experiments involving food. I’m not too sure what they were creating but it looked delicious.

The focus of the week was starting our Easter assembly preparations, in which we handed out scripts and also completed our first stage practice. With less than two weeks until the assembly, it is vital that all children learn their lines and when they come in.

In Maths, the children started their new topic with Mrs Gregan and focused on volume- looking at how we use this in everyday practices and the relationships it has with other units of maths. In my maths topic, we have come to the end of division as we look to start multiplication next week. I have never taught a class that enjoys the bus stop method so much and I think that comes from their confidence in understanding the method.

In English, we have discussed, researched and independently written up our first discussion text from scratch which is ‘Should all children learn how to swim?’. The children have loved sharing their points of view and also look at ways to counter argue points previously made.

Let’s Celebrate

Pippa for being a co-operative learner: Such a friendly and caring member of the class. This makes you a brilliant learning partner as you are not concerned with who you are sat with- you still give it 100%. You treat all of your classmates the same, making them feel valued and apart of the team.

Sophia for being an enthusiastic learner: I really could not tell what your favourite or least favourite subject is because you have the same high level of enthusiasm throughout every lesson. You give everything a go and your sole focus is to learn and to tackle any learning task in front of you. A real mature and positive way of approaching the entire curriculum- Keep it up!
Virtue Butterflies: Our butterfly this week goes to Millie for being loving and compassionate. Your manners are impeccable- you always say please and thank you towards all members of staff and children.
