Week ending 08.05.2015

This week we have been looking at the story of Mrs Armitage on Wheels by Quentin Blake. We all chose our favourite mode of transport and then modified it. We learnt how to label a picture by drawing our modified vehicles and labelling the modifications. Mrs Ellis modified her skateboard with a steering wheel to help her turn corners and a cushion for when she falls off! Miss Tovell modified her scooter with a book and I-pod in case she got bored, a coat hanger in case she got hot and a cushion again for safer landings! In maths we have moved on from halving and quartering to look at division. We have been doing lots of practical activities which involve sharing and dividing. If you have any pegs, pencils or objects which can be used for counting please let your children use them to help them complete their homework. Thank you to all those who attended the Big Book Share. We always appreciate the support we get. The plans for our summer fete are going well. Please keep donations for raffle prizes and the toy shop coming in. ***IMPORTANT NEWS*** Our trip to Gressenhall has unfortunately been postponed until Tuesday 9th June. We will shortly be sending out more information regarding this trip.
