What a brilliant start to the final term of the year!

We started our week, like any other week, with a new book in Phonics regardless of our group. Children have been working hard to carefully learn the remaining few sounds, and or, revise previous sounds, applying this knowledge to both our reading and writing. We will continue to focus on developing our knowledge as the weeks progress.

In Maths, we began our new topic, Multiplication and Division, with a special focus on the 2-, 5- and 10-times tables as well as understanding and making equal groups. The children worked hard to revise previous knowledge whilst applying this to our new concept. Next week, we will continue to focus on this and will look at adding equal groups, arrays, and doubles.

In RE, we recapped the Easter story to consolidate our previous learning. We were able to connect our learning back and recall STAR vocab such as ‘Maundy Thursday’ and ‘Shrove Tuesday’. After, we thought critically about how Jesus’ disciples might have felt at his resurrection and how we would feel if we were there. Next week, we will start our new topic, ‘Why is Baptism Special?’

In Art, we also began our new topic which is based on the artist, ‘Henri Rousseau’.  We started this topic by exploring their art work in detail before creating a fact file based on their life.

Sadly, on Friday we had to say goodbye to our lovely student teacher, Miss McNamara, who has been with us since February. I know that staff, and children alike, will miss her dearly but wish her the best of luck in her future career.
