This week, we have delved straight into our new RE topic, Trusting in God.’ Our focus is now on the New Testament. Children wrote some super letters as Zechariah, whose speech was taken away because he questioned the path God wanted for him. We then moved onto Mary and admired her for her obedience to God and deep faith in His plans for her. We love RE lessons in our class because children are so expressive in their feelings towards their faith and said such beautiful things about our Blessed Lady.

This week in Kidsafe we have focused on Computer and Internet safety and discussed age ratings on films and games. Please read the important letter below outlining what we discussed and what implications it has.
In English this week, children have been outraged that despite being such a loving and terrific pig, Mr Zuckerman still plans to butcher him at Christmastime! We have learned the power of persuasive language this week (so I apologise if your children get even better at persuading you for something they want!) Here they are in action, persuading their friends.
They have written some fantastic persuasive letters to Mr. Zuckerman expressing their feelings about this injustice.
In maths we have finished our block on place value - it is important to keep this ticking over - alongside revision of telling the time too. We are now moving onto addition and subtraction.
History has been so exciting this week and has created such a buzz. We have learned all about Tutankhamun and many children have shared their extra knowledge about this subject. Children worked together to write newspaper reports about this exciting discovery 99 years ago in the valley of the kings!
Let’s Celebrate!
