Category: Our Classes

This month, the children have done a wonderful job learning the Lord’s prayer. It was very moving for them to finish the Holy Thursday liturgy by saying this prayer when they returned to the classroom after ‘Jesus, Remember me’ had finished in the hall.

Later in the morning, the children shared hot cross buns together, focussing on the symbolism of the cross.  Thank you very much for your kind donations of buns, which were greatly enjoyed by the children.

Have a very happy and holy Easter together and enjoy your Easter celebrations that the children are looking forward to on Easter Sunday!

Have a lovely, relaxing holiday. Thanks again to Mrs McAndrew, Mr Pearman, Mrs Alexander,  Mrs Vazquez, Mrs Brennan and Mrs Cox for helping us make such amazing habitats to finish off our science topic.

Please note Wednesday will be the last day for changing reading  books for the holiday. The children can have up to 5 books but must bring in any current books with a signed reading record.

Further to the homework email earlier, we forgot to give out the homework folders today which of course have the MyMaths login details inside. I’m very sorry for this, the children will have to collect their folders on Monday. The homework is designed for the holidays so there is nothing that has to be completed for next week, we were just trying to get a head start on it but best laid plans…

Year 5 spring week 10

 

The children had been very excited at the prospect of appearing on stage at the Alban Arena.  When the time came for them to share their talents, I’m sure that those of you who were fortunate enough to get tickets  will agree that they were a credit to the school, their parents and of course themselves. I could feel my eyes prick with pride as I watched from the wings!

Well done everyone who was able to join in the pre-school golden mile.

We continued with our embroidery this week and here are some photos of the children experimenting with different types of stitch.

 

Have a great weekend,

 

Mr Creaton

The children have received their MyMaths instructions today, you should find a letter in their homework folder. I have set them up with a Year 2 booster pack, which includes over 40 different activities. You are not expected to do them all, but just to choose those ones where you feel you need to practise the most. In particular it would be good to look at 2D and 3D shape and fractions as we will be covering these after the holiday and it would give a head start.

I will also set a holiday reading task next week.

Next Wednesday will be the last time for changing books before the holiday, the children can choose up to 5 books and need to also have their reading record with them.

Finally, thank you to those parents who have volunteered to help with our ‘habitats’ day next Wednesday afternoon. We still need more helpers so if you can spare the afternoon please let the office know. It’s a fun afternoon where you can work closely with the children on a project they really enjoy doing.

Thanks to all those who attended the SATs meeting last night, I  hope you found it useful. Confirmation of the ‘maths methods’ evening will be sent out shortly.
