Dear Readers,

We hope you are all well.

Here are the highlights of our week:

• Continuing learning about decimal numbers and how to turn them into fractions.
• Reading comprehension about the Life of a shepherd in Bethlehem, which most boys and girls found particularly tricky but also very interesting.
• The new Spelling Words and all the work to practise them during the week so that Friday’s score continues being really good, just like last week!
• Learning about the Global Goals for sustainability, being able to discuss them in groups and making beautiful posters to display in our class explaining them!
• For our Climate Smarter project, we have learned many important things about Forest Management, learned how the forest management cycle works, developed our understanding on the reasons why wood is considered the most sustainable building material and have followed closely what happens to it, from the moment it is cut out to the moment it comes to our houses as a beautiful piece of furniture, for example.
• We have also learned about something very sad that was remembered in the last few days, The Holocaust. All children felt very shocked while learning about the events related to it and, of course, while learning about the terrible atrocities of the time. Fortunately they all understood that the reason why it is so important to learn about terrible events from the past is to make sure we learn lessons from them in order not to repeat them in the future. Since in our everyday Prayers we always ask for God to stop the current wars and prevent any others from starting, it was very sad to have realised that the people who have started the current wars don’t seem to have learned any lessons from the past.
• Our weekly spelling assessment had great scores which will be shared with the class on Monday. Well done for the great spelling work!
• Super congratulations to our Hot Chocolate of the Week, Miss Sophia, who will be wearing our new and special class medal! 😘🏆👏🥇
• Super sweet congratulations also to our Kindness Champions, Mr. Aaron, Mr. John and Miss Pixie! Your kind gestures are very much appreciated by all of us and we are very proud of you!👏👏👏🥇🥇🥇❤❤❤
• Finally, congratulations to our House winners of the week, The Cursed Child! Well done and keep it up!👏👏👏👏🏆

We say goodbye for now wishing you all a great weekend!

P5A and Mrs Valente❤😘
