Hello everyone! Miss Ventisei and P5A have had a wonderful second week back at school! Everyone has settled into our new classroom really well and we are looking forward to the year ahead. This week we have been revising our knowledge of place value and rounding in maths- the children particularly enjoyed the maths games and ‘play dough place value’! We also paid a visit to the school woodland this week where we have been working really hard to clear and weed the area. Our class favourite moments of the week include:

• Playing football in the MUGA at playtime
• Playing basketball during P.E. with Mrs Lafferty
• Engaging with lots of fun games and activities during numeracy
• Reading our class novel (Wonder by Rj Palacio)
• Visiting the solar system through a virtual tour (Miss Ventisei also loved this!)

Over the next few months we will be visiting the woodland area for outdoor learning every Thursday afternoon. If possible, it would be helpful if your child could bring some wellies/boots and old, warm clothes to wear outdoors on this day.
