Lyrics for School Show
Ac-cent-tchu-ate the Positive
You’ve got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don’t mess with Mister In-Between
You’ve got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene
To illustrate his last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark
Man, they said we better, accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don’t mess with Mister In-Between
No, do not mess with Mister In-Between
Do you hear me?
Oh, listen to me children and-a you will hear
About the elininatin’ of the negative
And the accent on the positive
And gather ’round me children if you’re willin’
And sit tight while I start reviewin’
The attitude of doin’ right
You’ve gotta accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don’t mess with Mister In-Between
You’ve got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom, down to the minimum
Otherwise pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene
To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they say
Say when everything looked so dark
Man, they said we better accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don’t mess with Mister In-Between
No, don’t mess with Mister In-Between
Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There’s a land that I’ve heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Way above the chimney tops,
That’s where you’ll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can’t I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can’t I?
The Week Ahead
School trip is on Thursday. Uniform required on top half. There is a small shop at the museum if you really want to buy something.
Snapshot jotters should be returned asap.
We have chosen our songs for the school show and are now working our way through rehearsals. Have to say it’s sounding fab so far!
Maths
Pentagons – working on decimals this week. Multiplying, dividing and solving problems.
Squares/Triangles – last few days on time. A few of you could still do with a little more revision of duration. Keep revising at home.
Circles – working on division. Need to revise tables to help with this.
Writing – peer assessment of Fairytale Stories.
Science – STEM bridge challenge. Pictures to follow. Will any of our bridges be strong enough? Body Systems – the skeletal system.

Parents’ Night
A huge thank you to all the parents who came on Thursday night, especially those of you who had to wait a while. It was lovely to meet you all and chat about your child’s learning. Remember if you have any concerns, questions or would like to speak to me for any other reason, feel free to email me or pop into the school to make an appointment.
Thanks.
Mrs Maxwell
