Happy New Year!
What a start to 2026! We came back on Tuesday to a light dusting of snow! Very exciting!
We have started 2026 with some really tricky Maths! We have started our work on long multiplication! It is quite hard but once we know the steps, we will be super confident. For now though, we are being very resilient!
We have started a new topic: Rainforests. To help us, we have got a programme to watch each Geography lesson about people visiting the rainforest and the Achuar tribe. It will help us understand more about the rainforest and why it is so important to protect it.
Not only is it a new calendar year and a new school term but for one of us, its a brand new school! We have welcomed Evie into our class family! We are very excited to have you!
In PE, we have started hockey. We have had a hockey assessment to show Mrs Carr what we can do- and we are moving onto defending next week.
We are also focusing on "a" and "o" in handwriting to help us form our words correctly. We must remember that we join a from the bottom and o from the top!
Finally, in English we are doing instructions. We are learning about imperative verbs and how to structure them correctly.
We have started a new class book called "Asha and the Spirit bird". It is full of cliff hangers and Mrs Carr loves leaving us on really good ones. So, we are going to leave you on one too!
Next week, we will be doing.......
