This Week In School…
Year 3 – have begun to write their own stories that tell the tale of a pebble’s journey to our pockets. They have worked hard to think about the language they use and how it paints a picture for the reader. They have also worked hard in Maths as they have started to use and apply the expanded method for addition. It has been tricky but they have shown great perseverance and commitment to their learning.
Year 4 – have continued working on their place value including rounding negative numbers and Roman numerals. In English, they have written two poems about the Tin Forest using adventurous vocabulary!
Year 5 – have started writing a descriptive narrative on The Journey using personification and onomatopoeia. In Maths, they have looked at negative numbers and how it would be used in real life. They have investigated properties of materials in and around the classroom in Science too.
Year 6 – have participated in the Heathrow Coding Challenge and had a fantastic morning! They have also edited and begun publishing their various story openers.

Harvest is traditionally a time to be thankful for the food we have, and to share food with others.  We will welcome any donations of tins or packets of food (not fresh or perishable foods please). The food will then be distributed to local people by our Vicar Rev. Robert Gooding.
