This week, we have finished our first class novel, “Charlotte’s Web.’ Children have got so much from this amazing text - through the eyes of the characters they have learned what friendship is and isn’t. They have experienced fierce loyalty and heroism and followed Wilbur and Fern’s journey as they grew and changed. They have also developed analytical reading skills and written passionate letters of persuasion. We will miss these characters, but never fear! We will be starting a new novel next week and also progressing in our next unit on Fairy Tales

In history this week, we have learned all about the discovery of Tutankhamun’s grave and all the ‘wonderful things’ inside. Children have been intrigued by the mummy’s curse which apparently impacted after the discovery!

In other news, children have been showing off their skills in Coding in computer lessons and learning to calculate multiples of 100 over 1000.

Let’s Celebrate!

This week, Teddy received a Cooper Crab certificate for his excellent focus in lessons and completion of tasks. Louis received a Bobby Bee certificate for his enthusiasm towards all learned, especially Charlotte’s Web
