It was a bit of a shock to the system being back to school this week- setting the alarm, getting up earlier to come to school and getting back into the learning groove. .  Leah enjoys our check ins/ outs in class where we talk about how we are feeling and what we have been doing.

We finished off the science work connected with the ‘Our World’ topic. Leon said that he enjoyed learning about the different types of rocks that we have on Earth and Sonny brought in some of his dad’s rock collection from home. Jack really enjoyed making the rock posters because you learned about the different rocks that you see in everyday life but don’t know about. Did you know that slate is a type of metamorphic rock?

Joshua found the division work in maths really satisfying. He said, “I really liked doing the great big division sum. It was easy when you knew how to do it.” Shannon thought that this work was fun and challenging too.  Caitlin liked our Countdown warm up in writing where we had to use the letters to make a word. ‘It was a good way to warm up and it was fun. The teachers always make our learning fun.’ Hannah- Beth said the she enjoyed writing ‘Into the Future’  because it makes you think about how you feel about going to High School

We are looking forward to starting our WW2 topic next week, especially Jak who is really keen to get going.
