This Week In School… Year 3 – have begun to write descriptive poems about the iron man - focusing on using descriptive language, similes and metaphors. In maths we have started to use addition to find the perimeter of 2D shapes. Year 4 – have been writing a descriptive narrative setting and have performed their Christmas production this week! What a wonderful job everyone! Year 5 – have started writing a news script and will perform it once it is completed. In Maths, they have looked at statistics which was quite challenging! In Humanities, they have looked at how England became a unified kingdom. In Science, they have been doing an experiment which involves looking at ice hands! They looked at different materials to test the best insulator to design a new lunchbox. Year 6 – have been working really hard doing their assessments, as well as continuing to write their newspaper reports linked to the book they are reading, 'The Last Wild' and learning how to divide fractions. They really enjoyed watching the Lower school Christmas performance at the beginning of the week - thank you Years 3 and 4! What a show! Thank you to the Year 4s for such a fantastic performance! The singing, the dancing, the quips! Everyone did such an incredible job, a special thank you to the Year 3s who supported the actors with their angelic voices! They certainly put the fun back into funky!
The Christmas themed Art Gallery will be open all this week. The framed drawings can be purchased by parents; they make the perfect gift this Christmas! Friday night was our very first PJs and Hot Chocolate evening, where parents and children were invited to come back to school dressed in their PJs and enjoy a bedtime story. Everyone was treated to a hot drink and a biscuit whilst they curled up and enjoyed their favourite bedtime story. It was a very well attended event and we would like to thank everyone who attended and Miss Bjorck for arranging such a wonderful evening! Every child that had 100% attendance this week and no lates was rewarded with a 'hot chocolate' to warm them up on Friday afternoon!

Thank you to all the parents who attended our Coffee Morning today. We discussed the topic of P4C (Philosophy 4 Children). What is P4C? P4C stands for Philosophy for Children. The aim is to help children become more thoughtful, more reflective, more considerate and more reason-able individuals. Children are taught how to create their own philosophical questions. They then choose one question that is the focus of a philosophical enquiry, or dialogue. The teacher becomes a facilitator, supporting the children in their thinking, reasoning and questioning, as well as the way the children speak and listen to each other.
