Eisteddfod

Dear Parents/Carers,

On Friday 14th February, the 5 semi-finalists performed in front of the whole school and they were amazing. It was a tough decision as they all performed well but the 2 children selected were Tiffany and Elodie!

Congratulations Girls and to everyone who took part.

The final will take place on Thursday 6th March at Cox Green School.

Class Assembly

The children performed brilliantly at church for our collective worship. They read beautifully, clearly and with great emphasis about our value - Courage. 

Well done to you all!

Our learning this week:

English

This week, the children completed their explanation instruction text based around capturing the Iron Man. They have designed a trap and then using heading and sub-headings, set out their work to instruct Hogarth and others to capture the Iron Man. The children been using many language features to help them plan their work. We looked at using a or an, noun phrases and prepositions. 

Maths

We have been begun our unit on length and perimeter. The children have learnt how to measure in cm, mm and m and have had many practical opportunities to measure and convert different units. 

Computing

The children learnt about how to construct a quiz using Microsoft PowerPoint. We begun the unit by recapping our learning about the Victorians and created some multiple choice questions. The children then had to create a quiz using the resources on the software. They learnt to create new slides, change and add text, insert pictures and use animations and how to change the backgrounds. They really enjoyed this unit and learnt some key skills. 

PE

We have been learning our dance for the Dance Extravaganza and worked hard on understanding beat, rhythm and timing to ensure we perform to the song. In basketball, we continued with building our skills when dribbling and how we can beat an opponent in a 3v3 situation during game related practice. The children worked hard and thoroughly enjoyed the lessons.
