Dear Readers,

We hope you have all had a good week and are getting ready for your weekend.

In P5A we have been super busy, as always.These are the highlights of our week:

• Super learning about decimal numbers and fractions. The whole class are completely addicted to fractions and are always asking for more and more work! It’s amazing!
• Excellent note taking skills. As children are now much more used to taking notes from clips and texts, we have learned all about the BBC Microbit, which we are going to use for our Climate Smarter program, and they have taken notes which they then used to write their Information reports on the next day. So proud!😊
• Learning about inference in a picture or a text and answering to many inferential questions about pictures. The children have given some very good answers to most of them and could always explain why they have given those answers.
• Free Writing Friday is one of the weekly favourites, especially when followed by some boys and girls kindly sharing their stories. Today’s stories were hilarious and the whole class laughed and laughed!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
• Learning more about wood and why it is the most environmentally friendly building material.🌳🌳🌳🌳
• Looking at the pictures of the winning models of last year’s Climate Smarter challenge and starting to think about the features we would like our own models to have.
• Our New Spelling Words and spelling assessment which have had great scores!
• Learning about the differences in the narratives of Matthew, Mark and Luke when describing the Temptation of Jesus in the Bible. The children were very surprised at how much information Matthew and Luke had as opposed to Mark, who briefly writes about it without any detail.
• We would like to congratulate Ben, our Hot Chocolate of the week for an absolutely remarkable week during which he has set an amazing example on how to follow the school rules! Well done, Ben!👏👏👏🥇 Ben realised that when he puts his mind to being amazing, he is amazing!
• Congratulations again to our Cursed Child Table for their victory! Well done! 👏👏👏✨🏆 Hopefully next week others will follow their example and take the cup!
• Finally, many congratulations to our Kindness Champions: Ailsa 👏🥇, Sophia 👏🥈 and Aaron👏🥉, always ready to help and assist you in any need!

We say goodbye for now hoping you have enjoyed our post,

P5A and Mrs Valente 😘😘
