Another week completed and another week that has flown by. Time must really fly when you’re having fun. This week has been taken over the focus of our class assembly. We have been in the hall doing our dress rehearsals, along with script practices and our song. The children have really come together and put the effort into remembering their lines and really expressing themselves on stage. I cant’ wait for everyone else to see it in action on Tuesday 15th November. Today, we paid our respects as a school and took a minute silence for all those that lost their lives for us during the world wars. We discussed what remembrance day means to us, during assembly, by learning about some important figures such as Desmond Doss.
In Maths, we have been mastering our decimals, looking at tenths. The children have been representing decimals in so many different ways and have been completing larger decimal calculations, using the column method. At the end of the week, we introduced hundredths, where the children have learnt the relationships between ones, tenths and hundredths.
In RE, we have finished our creation topic by looking into God’s great helpers and looking into their lives to see what they did that made them stand out. We researched different saints, such as Martin De Porres and St Vincent De Paul, and the impact of all of their wonderful acts of kindness.
