Hello again,

It’s been another busy week.  Well done to the pupils who received Star of the Day,  Over and Above and Star Worker awards this week.  We have also had lots of pupils with their name on our Recognition Board every day. Keep up the good work.

This week we have been working hard to finish off our Forces topic.  We looked at the effects of magnetism and carried out some practical investigations.  Next week we will revise what we have learned to prepare us for our end of topic assessment.  For taught writing we wrote acrostic poems about fireworks then used pastels to create a dramatic background for our poems.  Today we took our maths outside and used trundle wheels to measure length.  To commemorate Poppy Day, we worked in groups to make large collage poppies . We then put them in our classroom windows.
