Thursday 24th November 2022:

Dear Parents and Carers,

Well, this week, we have been looking at conjunctions as well as similarities and differences between the main character in our book, Ug, and ourselves. We have been writing descriptions of a cave-style home, as well as revising our adverbs and prepositions. In Maths, we have been consolidating our times tables as well as looking at one and two-step word problems. In History, we have been exploring how the discovery of Bronze led to a division of class for the Beaker People during the bronze Age, while in PSHE, we have been thinking about similarities and differences between ourselves and others.

This week, our Golden Frame winners are Ruby and Patrick - well done to both of you for you fabulous writing! And our lucky 'Star of the Week' who got to take Lemon home for the weekend was Chrisn. Well done, Chrisn!

The Home Learning is below with an exciting arts and crafts project to do this week. Please ensure that your child is reading - and logging onto Boom Reader - and that they return the Punctuation and Grammar Home Learning sheet on Tuesday 29th November.

Finally, your child has taken home a letter outlining what character they are in our forthcoming Nativity, and what costume they need to wear. Please can all costumes be brought into school by 2nd December. The vocal track and lyrics for our class song is attached.

Have a lovely weekend!

Dr Tara Wilson
