Dear Readers,

We hope you are all doing very well.

The highlights of this week were:

• Our lessons with the Microbits during which we have learned how to use them, have programmed them on the laptops in MakeCode and have seen the Microbits doing what we wanted them to do! It was very exciting and all the boys and girls were super enthusiastic! We have made love hearts with the LEDs on the Microbit, have made our names appear in the LEDs and have used them to turn on a little lamp! We are now big Microbit fans and are looking forward to our next lessons!
• We’ve continued studying the Narrative through our Spiderwick Chronicles, which are absolutely addictive! When Mrs Valente says it’s time to stop, nobody wants to stop and all beg for more! P5A are loving the Spiderwick Chronicles! We have already learned about the importance of the setting’s description, the characters and the narrator and have done lots of work on each of these.
• We have had our New and always tricky Spelling Words and our Weekly Spelling Assessment, another one of our class’ favourites.
• Our Maths continued with multiplication sums of 1 by up to 5 digits and most boys and girls enjoy multiplication a lot by now! Well done!
• We have learned all about the requirements for our Eco School Models which will hopefully be started next week!
• The boys and girls went back to their Lenten promises and shared with the class how successful they were being at them. Also regarding sacrifice and self-control, we have asked one of the girls in our class, who follows the Muslim faith, to share with us her experience of fasting during Ramadan. The class have prepared several questions to which she kindly agreed to answer in order to make us all more aware of what she is going through. It was very interesting and a brilliant example of how people from different religions and beliefs can learn so much from one another.❤❤
• We would like to congratulate John for being the Hot Chocolate of last week!!!!!! Well done, John!!!! 👏👏👏🥇Always behaving and being kind to others!
• We would also like to congratulate Mia for being the Hot Chocolate of this week! It was lovely to see her positive attitude and great work throughout the week! well done, Mia!👏👏👏🥇
• After counting our kindness notes, we were super happy to see that most people had at least a couple of notes, which means our class is getting kinder by the day! Our Kindness Champions are: 1st 🥇👏❤- Ailsa, 2nd🥈👏👏❤ – Aaron and 3rd🥉👏👏❤ – Emily & Sophia! Super well done!!!!!Keep spreading the kindness!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
• Finally, many congratulations to our Table of the week, The Cursed Child! Well done! Super good work! Always tidy, organised and ( most of the times🤣) behaving!

That’s all for this week. Have a wonderful weekend!😀

P5A and Mrs Valente 😘😘
