Performance Reading 
Every week, the children learn how to read with prosody and get the chance to practise in front of the class. These girls asked if they could perform the poem We Refugees after practising it together. I hope you will agree how brave and talented they are in their performance. 

Learner of the Week  - 27.11.20
This member of our Class 7 has been working their socks off at everything even if she is finding something tricky! Well done and keep up the hard work. 

Learner of the Week  - 20.11.20
This week, this young lady created a fabulous textured hand using different types of pencil. The children were given a range of H and B pencils to practise drawing texture. How fantastic is her art work? 

Marvellous Maths
Last week in Maths, we were exploring factors, factor pairs and common factors. We used cubes to help work out what factors some numbers had by arranging them into arrays. 

Let There Be Light! 
In Science we have started a new unit all about LIGHT! On Friday, we used torches to investigate what shadows are and how they can change depending on the position of the light source. We learned that light can not travel through opaque objects and there is no gap between the object and the shadow. We then had a go at creating some scientific diagrams to show this which was a tricky task! Take a look at our the photos below to see the shadows we created. 

In Geography we are learning about The United Kingdom. So far we have learnt the four countries, what a county is and some of the major towns and cities. Here we are using atlases to find out more.

Children in Need
Today, we have come together to celebrate Children in Need. The children have made a great effort and all donated 50p to the charity. We have loved being cosy and warm in our PJs! 

Learner of the Week! 
Here is our Learner of the Week! This young lady received her award for always being so helpful and conscientious in the classroom. All teachers would benefit from having her in their classroom - Mrs Webb and I are lucky to have her. 

PE - Basketball 
In PE, Mr Gorner has been teaching us all about Basketball. Before we learned some of these skills, we had to warm up. Take a look at the photos to see our efforts. 

Today, in Literacy we have been learning all about PRONOUNS! To make this a little bit more exciting we played a game. The children were put into teams and were each given a sentence that had 3 pronouns missing (words that we use instead of repeating the same noun over and over again). Each team had a pile of pronouns which they took in turn to turn over. If it fit anywhere in their sentence, they got to keep it. If not, they had to put it down (face up) for another team mate to steal if they wanted to when it was their turn. The winner was the person who managed to complete their sentence first, WON. The children got quite competitive and wanted to play again tomorrow..
