This week in school…
Year 3 – have been writing amazing diary entries about the great fire of London in English. In Maths, they have looked at telling the time on analogue clocks. Year 4 – have been retelling the story ‘Wing’ in their own words. They have learnt how to create suspense using an eerie setting description. In Maths, they have been learning about decimals and have rounded to the nearest whole number. They have also begun their history topic on the English Monarchy by writing to the Queen! Year 5 – have had a super scientific day at the Science Museum on Tuesday. They visited the Imax to see ‘Hidden Universe’ and experimented in the Wonderlab. In English, they have started their new topic, writing the next chapter in Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. Year 6 – have worked on their persuasive writing, focusing on writing letters to their crayons who have gone on strike! They have used the story from ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’. Their work shows what fantastic authors Year 6 are! Click here to view this week's bulletin. We are very proud of the effort being made by our Year 6 pupils as they prepare for their SATs papers and we would like to thank you for the support that you are giving your child with their homework.

What a day! Yesterday, our Year 5s were whisked off to the fantastic London Science Museum. Everyone had such an incredible time visiting the New Wonderlab, where they got to blow smoke rings, pully themselves up and demonstrate friction on slides. They visited the incredible exhibitions including a very far out look at the Moon landing recreation and saw the outstanding 'Hidden Universe' in the IMax. They even had their very own lecturer answer some very important questions, wow, no wonder they were so excited!
This year, World Book Day takes place on Thursday 2nd March 2017. We would like to invite you to join us in helping your child to make the most of this special occasion. We are giving the children the chance to come into school dressed as their favourite literary character for the day on the day.
