Tickled Pink

• We have a new student teacher, Miss Tillbrook, who started with us this week and will stay with our class until the end of term. We are very excited to share our classroom with her and can’t wait to see what exciting lessons she and Miss Halliday have in store for us.
• We have begun doing more mental maths before our numeracy lessons this week. We love being challenged to answer 15 questions in a short space of time. We can already see that we are getting quicker and more accurate after only a few turns.
• The first week back has been great, we thought about 1 word to inspire us for the new year, some of us chose brave, kind, sporty, courage and confidence. We designed these words to look 3D and glued them on to paper so that in one direction it shows our word and in another direction it shows 2024. They need to be seen to be believed.

Green for Growth

• Today we tried a problem solving task where we had 9 small triangles with numbers on them. The aim was to make one large triangle but the numbers that touched had to make 10. this was really tricky for most of us and we had to have a lot of resilience to keep trying and not giving up.
• When we use the hall, we can be a little loud and forget that other classes are trying to work. Our aim is to not scream and shout so that we can continue to be happy and safe in PE.

Lead Learners this week are Jodie for being respectful and Ella for being ambitious.
