Week ending 22nd May 2015

This week is our Big Write assessment in English and the children have been creating their own story. We used Jasper's Beanstalk as our entry point and the children have come up with a huge range of ideas for what plant they could grow. They will be applying all of their English and handwriting skills learnt to date when they write their stories independently on Thursday. In maths we have been looking at money and different ways of making an amount (e.g. 5 pence can be made up using a 5p coin; 5 x 1p coins, 2 x 2p and a 1p coin). We have also been busy preparing for the fete and the children have been creating signs for the stalls, making and decorating cookies, and labelling the toys ready for this afternoon. In PE we have finished our dance lessons for the year and the whole school will come together to film their welly beat challenge after half term. PE will continue to be on a Tuesday and Thursday after half term, when it will be games, so please send in a PE kit for these days. Finally, we would like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has supported our fundraising fete today and we look forward to seeing you all there at 3pm!
