Please help your child to remember their kit, as although we do have spares, most children would rather wear their own clothing. This week class three have been doing several short mini-projects. They have undertaken an investigation into who is the healthiest girls or boys? Year 5s or year 6s? They collected data and presented carefully, showing how the data backs up their conclusions. They have also been looking at Science Fiction writing and imagined a time in the future when people would live on the moon. Our persuasive posters have been designed to convince people to start a new life in space. We will display them for you to read. This week we have continued our work on rhyming texts and Miss Bramley has read us lots of really good stories which use rhyming words. In history we talked about all the things we have learnt about Florence Nightingale and the Year 1s and Year 2s wrote some excellent accounts. We are all looking forward to the Jubilee celebrations next week! This week we have welcomed Miss Broomfield a student teacher into Class 2. We hope she enjoys her time with us. We are going to do some research about Beamish open air Victorian museum so that we know what it will be like. Enjoy the sunshine this weekend.
