W/E: 02/10/2026.

In Maths, we have now finished our topic on Place Value. To celebrate and consolidate everything we have learnt, the children took part in a fun, practical Maths carousel, moving around different activities and using a range of resources to apply their place value skills. The children really enjoyed working together and showing what they know! Next week, we will be moving on to our new topic of Addition and Subtraction.

In RSE, we explored the question “How can I let others know what is okay or not okay for me?” The children discussed how we can communicate our feelings and boundaries clearly and respectfully, as well as the importance of listening when somebody else tells us how they feel.

In History, we travelled back in time to find out what Victorian schools were like. We looked at what classrooms, lessons, rules and school life were like for Victorian children and compared them with schools today. The children were very interested to discover just how different going to school would have been!

In Computing, we went on a Technology Safari around our school. The children searched for different pieces of technology and thought carefully about which objects might have computers inside them. It was a great opportunity to discover that computers can be found in many more places than just laptops and tablets.

We are also very excited about our visit to Rickmansworth Museum on Monday morning, where we will be finding out more about our local area and its history. We are looking forward to an exciting learning experience outside the classroom!

Notices 📌

Doodle Maths: We are aware that there have been some issues accessing the Doodle Maths homework. We have contacted the company and they are currently looking into this for us. Another activity will be set today (Friday 2nd), so if you are able to see it, please ask your child to complete it. Apologies in advance if it is still not working for you, and thank you for your patience while we try to resolve the issue.
PE continues to be on Mondays (indoors) and Wednesdays (outdoors).
Spellings are tested every Wednesday, so please continue to practise them regularly at home. You will now receive a paper copy of next week's spellings with your child's score from this week.
This week's spellings: badge, castle, scene, head, again, colour, enjoy, friend, pretty, young.
Please remember that book bags need to be brought into school every Wednesday.

We are very proud of how hard the children have been working this week. We hope you have a lovely weekend.
