Weekly Blog

This week, we began our new core text 'Scott of the Antarctic'. This book is a non-fiction book about Robert Scott's trip to the Antarctic with other scientists and officers. We are now in our multiplication and division topic in maths. So far, the class have excelled in multiplication. Next up, division. We continue to love the book 'Cosmic' in Guided Reading, and are enjoying topics across various other areas of the curriculum. The highlight of this week was Forest School, in which we had free choice of all the activities we have encountered this half-term, including the use of knives. We look forward to DT day next week, in which we will cook spaghetti bolognaise.

Key information

PE will take place on Monday and Wednesday. Please come into school wearing your PE kit on these days.

Homework and reading books will be sent home on a Friday and must be returned on Wednesday. Reading records need to be filled in at least three times a week and signed by an adult at home and brought into school on Fridays for us to check.

Please remember to send your child in with a water bottle and a healthy snack.
