What a busy few weeks we have had!  Our base has been hard at work preparing for our show ‘The Circus Extravaganza’ and have now finished all performances.  We were so good that we are having a celebration afternoon to celebrate our hard work and success!

Recently we have been working on PV (Place Value) and following the Lynda Keith numeracy planner.  We have used a lot of active learning to engage and learn and enjoy being challenged.  We have been looking at 2 figure to 4 figure numbers and are recording our learning through pictures as a new method as studies show that this helps us remember what we have done and learned.

In our literacy work we have been working on common and, most recently, proper nouns and enjoy the group challenges set; we all try to get to our challenge as it earns us more dojos!

Christmas is just around the corner so once we have finished our ‘Circus’ topic we will be getting into the Christmas spirit by learning about traditions at Christmas and conjuring up a few pictures to decorate our classroom then our home.

We also took part in a survey related to homework and are bringing a survey home for parents to fill in.  The school are keen to get your view on this so please send in as soon as you can so that the staff can get to work on the results of this.

We loved performing and seeing all our proud parents/family at the show and would like to say thank you for sharing this special day with us.
