It’s hard to believe that the children have completed their first term in Year 2; and what a successful term it’s been! The class have worked incredibly hard and have grown so much already - I can’t wait to see what they will achieve when they return to school after Christmas!

I can’t believe we have come to the end of our first term in Year 3, and what a pleasure it has been! The children have been truly wonderful, working so hard and have really blossomed in to sensible, resilient and enthusiastic juniors- we couldn’t be prouder of them. We also just want to take this time, to thank you all for your support throughout this time and entrusting us with your most precious gifts, your children. We are now looking forward to the spring term, where we can see each of them fly even more!

Year 4 blog "Christmas isn't a season - its a feeling."
Advent in Year 4 has felt like a real journey this year because of the children’s deep reflection, kind words for each other and a real drive for their learning. This week we have done so much! We learned about other Ancient Civilisations in History on Tuesday and how they were similar in ways, to Ancient Egypt. Then we ended our History topic with a celebration of all the Achievements and inventions of this society.
In maths, we have now mastered the formal method of column addition with 4 digit numbers. Children showed such a sense of pride to grasp this. In English, children have been very busy composing their own stories based on the Pied Piper. My goodness - the progress they have made with writing already! I cannot tell you how proud I am of their work ethic.
In RE we have been learning about the Trinity and how our Catholic believe in who Jesus really is is the true meaning of Christmas.
What a joyous feeling it was on Thursday to celebrate with this beautiful class of children. We had a well-deserved day off school work and the children partied their little socks off! Even though they are all tired, they have remained hard-working and kind to the very end. They have kept me going! Here is a film of the fun we had!
When you have settled down for Christmas, please take some time (whilst munching a mince pie or two) to watch our KS2 Christmas concert. It is beautiful and will well and truly get you in the Christmas spirit. We do long for the days when we can invite you all to watch these performances live again though.
Let’s Celebrate!
These children have met their reading targets this week: Matilda, Rosa, Dominic and Leo.
This week our certificate winners are:
1. Matilda (Kiki Chameleon) For trying so hard and putting so much thought into all she does. Super story this week!
2.Millie (Bobby Bee) for showing such enthusiasm and drive for her learning. Super story too this week!

This week we have been gaining a greater understanding of the special prayer, the Hail Mary.
Please find your 2Do on Purple Mash. Similarly to our class discussion, I want you to choose two lines from the Hail Mary. Think about, and write what these lines mean. Draw illustrations to show the meaning of both these parts of the prayer

So sorry about the late post of homework last week! I know how busy families are at this time preparing for Christmas and I’m sure this failure to link the webpage was not helpful - please see this weeks shorter homework - I wanted to give the children time to complete their databases on Purple Mash so we have less this week.
Another busy week of learning in Year 5 …..

What a lovely week in Year 4. Our classroom is looking a little more Christmassy as we put our tree up and decorated with tinsel. Children are still working harder than ever! In maths, children have practised many mental strategies for addition and subtraction and they are now selecting the most efficient one to use - reasoning about the numbers in their calculations, which is lovely to see. We have started learning all about fairy tales, using ‘The Pied Piper of Hamelin,’ as our model. Children have been practising lots of grammar skills and are now applying these to their own stories which they have created.
This afternoon, children shared their wonderful homework with each other, finding out about Christmas in many different cultures. We also made snowflakes to decorate our class!
In other news, Children have performed in class a medley of recorder songs - some Christmas ones and some others. I have put them in order that they learned them so you can see their progress. Enjoy!
Let’s Celebrate!

Year 3 blog 10.12.21 'The beauty of Christmas is not in the presents but in His presence'
The last week of our Autumn term is here and there is definitely a sense of excitement in the classroom, however, children are still working incredibly hard and are getting through so much work- Miss Bassett and I can hardly believe it! The elf has been making it rounds around the classroom this week, although not causing too much mischief, as its incredibly well behaved. There was just one day, where we did worry that its magic may have faded, but thankfully the next day we had seen it had moved positions! This week we have filmed the children’s two songs to add to our Key Stage Two Christmas Concert film, which will be live on the blog next Friday. We can’t wait for you to see it, the children are signing like angels and have clearly been practicing lots at home and at school, so thank you for your help.

On Wednesday, the class ventured down to church to celebrate mass and record their lines for the Christmas Concert. As I sat there listening to the children, I could not help but smile. The words that they said and how they spoke with such emotion, filled me with hope.
