Dear readers,

Another busy week has come to an end and here is a little note to keep you posted on how we have been spending our time in school.

The beginning of the week was spent learning about our new spelling words, trickier by the minute, and also practising them so them we can get a 10/10 score in our weekly spelling tests. Also in Literacy, we have learned more about adverbs and did our reading comprehension about a new chapter of the Secret Garden, chapter 7. The reading comprehension questions can be very tricky and we have been trying really hard to truly understand what Mrs Valente expects us to answer.

Our Writing session was very enjoyable and very different from what we do every week, since we have been asked to make a big A3 poster to warn people about the dangers of fireworks and how to be careful about them. Everyone seemed to enjoy doing it, which was great!🖼🎨😍👍

In Maths, this week has been dedicated to working on subtraction, from very easy sums at the beginning of the week to really amazingly challenging 5 digit and beyond ones! We all loved it!

We have changed our seats to try and behave even better and because some of us had been absolutely brilliant with their behaviour already, they even got to seat beside a person of their choice. Mrs Valente has warned that all the boys and girls need to behave in a way that they deserve this treat and therefore seats will be changed again if people forget about that. We have been trying hard to work as a team to achieve our goal of becoming one of the most well behaved classes in school and because of that Mrs Valente has to keep on reminding us about that.😊

We have ended up our week with our usual Big Maths, beat that, our spelling assessments and an amazing Art activity, our Autumn leaves wreaths. It was very good to see boys and girls choosing carefully their leaves and arranging them according to the instructions to make fantastic wreaths to decorate our classroom!

Throughout the week we have also, as always, been working on our listening skills by watching Newsround to keep us well informed of what is happening in the world and also to show how good we are at listening. That is why many of us like to take notes to be able to answer to Mrs Valente’s questions and get lots of points for our houses!

This was only a bit of what our week looked like because we have, as always, been super busy bees!😂

We would like to congratulate our Hot Chocolate girl for her amazing behaviour and also for always following the school’s rules of being ready, respectful and safe! Well done, Hanna!

Our notes home have been awarded to people who have contributed everyday to make our class, which is a bit like our family outside of our homes, a better place! well done to Connor, Rebecca, Caiden and Zak!

We say goodbye for now wishing you all a great weekend full of joyful moments with your families!

Primary 5B and Mrs Valente 😘😘😘😘
