Wednesday the 24th May is Unicef day for change and the Rights Respecting Committee are hoping to raise money for children in danger. We will be collecting as much loose change as we can from today so if you have any lying around your houses, down the sides of your sofas we would appreciate all coins you can spare. We want to inspire our classmates to help other children around the world who are not as fortunate as we are. We are having an assembly on Wednesday morning which you are welcome to attend. The pupils can pay a £1 for dress down or in blue and there are a few other activities which we hope will help us reach our target of £150 which could provide 6 malnourished children with a month’s supply of life- saving emergency food.

Thank you in advance and any coins you can spare will be greatly appreciated.

In maths today we were learning about number stories and used cubes (concrete), pictures (pictorial) and written sums (abstract) to work them out.

Please note that the art exhibition on Wednesday will be from 10 (after Mrs Browne’s assembly). We look forward to seeing you at some point during the day.

We decided to take advantage of the sunshine while it’s still here – despite a little gust of wind every now and then and go outside and succeed together in our maths. We demonstrated our understanding of equivalent fractions with sticks and consolidated our multiplication facts using leaves as inspiration for the calculations. We also explored some problem solving activities involving volume and shape. We all worked well together to try and meet each of the challenges.

Staff have developed a draft vision for the school and nursery for the future.

Today we were discussing and researching the information contained on food labels. We discovered that certain information must be included by law and how the laws about this have changed. We will now go on to learn more about how we as consumers can use this information to help us make informed decisions about what we eat. We also measured out,as a group, what we thought was a recommended portion size of muesli….. we were quite surprised by what constituted a recommended portion compared to what we had served ourselves. #portioncontrol
