Newquay Zoo Trip: Thank you to our volunteers for joining us on our trip to Newquay Zoo today. The children had a fantastic time and particularly enjoyed seeing the lions, sloths and penguins. We were really proud of how the children moved sensibly and respectfully around the zoo showing consideration to both the animals and other users of the zoo. It really was a lovely day out. We will upload photos of the trip to this page below.

Making kebabs: On Monday, as part of our work in DT, the children made fruit kebabs in small groups. They followed their design and prepared the fruit they needed. Afterwards, they carefully positioned the fruit onto their skewer and enjoyed eating their kebab. Photos from the kebab-making activity can be found below.

English: This week, in English, the children wrote a fruit kebab recount where they practised writing sentences in the past tense to retell events from our kebab-making activity. They worked hard to sequence their sentences in chronological order, using adverbs of time and tried to include conjunctions to extend their sentences.

Maths: In maths, the children have started learning about division through making equal groups by grouping and sharing. We will continue our work on division next week.

Homework:

Maths – Please complete 5 sessions of Times Tables Rockstars in the garage setting.

Reading – Please read five times at home with your child. Reading completed in school does not count towards the five times.

Spelling – Please select 7 common exception words to practise spelling from the list in your child’s purple homework book.

Thank you,

Mrs Loudwill, Mrs Sayers and Miss Smith
