Dear all,

I hope that you and your children had a restful Christmas break filled with happiness and good health. I would just like to say a big thank you for your kind cards and gifts. It is an absolutely pleasure to teach your children and I am looking forward to getting back into the classroom tomorrow!

This is just a quick reminder that the children do have PE on a Monday afternoon so can you please ensure that they have their PE kits to hand!

I look forward to seeing all of you tomorrow ready for another busy half term!

Mrs Teixeira 🙂

During the last week of the Christmas term, the children had a lovely time, filled with anticipation and excitement. The children started their week with a panto, then enjoyed a visit from Father Christmas (in response to the letters that they sent him at the beginning of December!), ate a delicious Christmas lunch together, attended a mass presided over by Father Francis and shared an advent celebration during which kriskringle gifts were exchanged. The children have certainly responded to Father Francis’s message to share the gift of Jesus by living with hope, joy and love in their relationships with others.

Please note that if you click on any photo, you will be able to watch a slide show of all the photos.

Thank you very much for your generous Christmas gifts. Teaching your children is a privilege, which we enjoy every day. May you have a holy Christmas and a new year that is filled with peace, happiness and good health.

Thank you so much to you all for your generous gifts and kind words from all of us who have the joy of working with Year 4.

We hope that you and all of your families have a happy and peaceful Christmas and looking forward to seeing you all again in the new year when term begins of 7th January.

(In the meantime, enjoy being at home with your families, help your parents, read a book or three, keep your tables sharp and stay on top of your spellings. Lastly, be good!)

Well done to all of you who entered this week’s National SumDog competition. 3506 classes entered and we came a very impressive 173rd, scoring 347 points – exactly the same score as our friends in Year 5. They may have sneaked ahead of us on speed, but Year 4 triumph with the top placed student, Aidan, who came 40th out of 31,737 students – great job.

The competition may be over, but SumDog is always on hand to help sharpen your maths skills and while away the hours whilst you are waiting for school to start again on January 7th!

Following our visit to see Hansel and Gretel on Tuesday, we were lucky enough to be visited by Natalie’s mum today, who told us a little of her role with the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House. Natalie’s mum played her viola for us and answered our questions about playing and performing as part of an orchestra.  

Thank you to Natalie, for planning what your mum should tell us, and to your mum for taking the time to come and visit.

Year Four had a wonderful day today, visiting the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden to see Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel. The opportunity to see this story staged was a great way to conclude our English writing sequence on this Grimm’s tale. 

We were lucky enough to have seats right at the front of the orchestra stalls which meant we were also able to see Natalie’s mum in the orchestra.

Dear all,

You will now find Year 1’s home learning under the tab on the right hand side. The password is the one discussed at our parent meeting in the first couple of weeks of term.

Thank you,

Mrs Teixeira

Below, you will find pictures of the hand made Advent wreaths sent in over the past week. The children clearly enjoyed making them and enjoyed discussing all they had learnt at home. They look fantastic!

Our learning continues with an investigation into the science of string telephones. We learnt that  vibrations from sounds travel through a medium to the ear: in our phones, the vibrations travelled through the air and the cup, through the string and then into our ears.
