Two beautiful events on consecutive weekends! Well done to all children who made their First Holy Communion in the last fortnight. You must feel so close to Jesus. This week, in RE lessons, children have looked at ways in which the people of the church continue the work of Jesus and have studied the communion of Saints.
This week in maths, children have been looking at how to scale numbers and how this can help them solve multiplication and division with much larger numbers. We have now moved onto learning about shape - it has been all about different triangles in the last few days.
This week in our English lessons, we have been describing the Fire-Fiend and then finishing our novel. Children have then written stories based on this and also composed limericks about the characters!
On Tuesday afternoon, many Year children represented the school in A striking and Fielding event. They were impeccably behaved as usual and enjoyed practising their techniques.
Our last Science lesson on souns saw us learning about loudness and pitch. We discovered what is actually happening to sound waves in these two different phenomena.
In PE, we have been practising for sports day - and honing our catching, aiming and running skills

Our learning certificate this week is another double whammy. A Lizzie Ladybird/Bobby Bee goes to Albert for being such an enthusiastic learner who asks for advice in the net steps in his learning. We are loving your growing resilience!
Our virtue star this week is Emilia . You are such an active learner! You want to do your very best and so you put everything into achieving this. You also help others to do well too.
