Dear readers,

We hope you are all either very well or getting better!

This week started with our visit to the woodlands to enjoy some minutes of free play with our friends! We absolutely loved exploring, picking up falling leaves, playing and having a bit of fun together in such a beautiful space!😃😃😃

We felt energized when we went back to have our lunch after that fun time!

We have done a lot in Literacy having started with our new spelling words, their meaning and how to use them in context. We have also done another week of reading comprehension, this time on Chapter 8 of the Secret Garden and every week we seem to understand it better and better. To make our writing more interesting, we have learned about Personification and how to write amazing sentences using it. We have also learned how to identify personification in sentences.

In maths, this week has been dedicated to master subtraction with up to 6 digits and also on how to check that it is correct at the end.

RE was about the beautiful biblical story of the Genesis and we have had the opportunity to draw and write what happened day by day, until God rested on the 7th day.

All the boys and girls loved our new topic of the Wars of Independence and we have only just started to learn about it!

Because we wanted to surprise Mrs McKissack on her birthday and we could not sing to her, we have all learned how to do it with sign language and we all did it at the same time throughout the school through Teams. We think she liked it a lot!🥳

Of course we would not finish off the week without our spelling assessment and Big Maths, beat that,  and also by awarding the Hot Chocolate prize and send the Three notes home to let parents and carers know how amazing a week we have had!🥇Congratulations to Alex, Susanna, Sophie and Amelia! Well done and keep up with your kindness, care and participation!👍👍👍👍🥇🥇🥇🥇

Have a wonderful weekend and stay safe!😘😘

Love from Primary 5B and Mrs Valente
