Weekly News 14th December 2018

Wow! What a busy week! Year 4 spent the first part of this week performing 'Bah Humbug!', first to the school and then to parents and family. Throughout, they maintained an extremely high standard of both performance and behaviour and should be very proud of what they have achieved.

Throughout all of this, the children have continued to learn and practise their times tables and will be looking to improve their score on the '66 tables facts' at the end of the week.

We have nearly reached the end of 'The Pugs of the frozen North' and the children are excited to find out how the story ends. They loved the idea of echosnow, screechsnow, slumbersnow and shrinksnow and then  had a lot of fun inventing new kinds of snow and describing its effects.

Reading Champions
Would you be willing, and are you able to spare some time, to come into school on a regular basis and read with some children? If so, we would love to hear from you.

This week, we received a nocturnal visit from Father Christmas. He left snowy footprints outside the door and a letter inviting the children to tell him what they have been up to this year and what they wanted for Christmas. The children were really excited to draft and write letters back to him.

We have also been rehearsing for the play. The children now know their lines really well and are excited to get into their costumes for the performances.

In maths, we have continued to use the 6 and 9 times tables to solve problems and challenges. 

Next week, we will challenge the children to remember the 66 times tables facts. If you want to give your child a challenge, they can have a go at the times table activity on this site: https://collins.co.uk/pages/primary-mathematics-times-tables-test-simulator.
