This month has seen us say goodbye to Mrs Gardner and welcome to Mrs Cook and Mrs Wilson who will be working with us now.

We really enjoyed Global Play Day and had great fun using our imagination and developing our social skills. At Thinking Circles we had to justify our reasoning for repeating this in 2020, hopefully Mrs Wilson was convinced !

We all took part in the 2 day programme on Developing The Young Workforce and learned a great deal about the range of career opportunities that are available from being a teacher or an engineer right through to becoming  an entrepreneur making bird food.Here are some photos of the humane mouse traps we were designing as part of our engineering focus with Mrs leblond.We have been starting to look at our environmental footprint and what we can do to affect and reduce this as part of our interdisciplinary learning this month. February isn’t over yet and we are looking forward to next week and the launch of Fairtrade fortnight when the whole school will be participating in lots of fun activities from face painting to baking banana loaf! Thursday will be our focus day for this and we are very excited by the wide range of ideas that are being suggested for us to raise awareness of Fairtrade fortnight.

In literacy we have been learning to write newspaper articles

In numeracy we have been deepening our understanding of subtraction and decomposition.

In RE we have been learning about the muslim faith and the significance of the Qur’aan. We have also been drawing our own Arabic prayer mats.

We are looking forward to the month ahead and addressing our social studies and technologies targets.
