NB: Project homework information can be found below this week's update.

After a tough half term, we're all tired and ready for a break! This week, we have finished writing balanced arguments on whether animals should be kept in zoos, continued learning about our weekend activities in French (qu'est ce tu fait le week-end?) and played a highly competitive netball tournament across the year group!

Our maths to finish the half term was all about decimals and how to calculate with them. We will use this in the coming weeks as we learn to compare fractions, decimals and percentages.

Mrs Glasby was excited to take the Year Six classes for geography this week, and was lucky to watch their dances based on the natural disasters we have looked at (volcanoes, earthquakes, tornadoes...)

In RE, we concluded our Hinduism unit by looking at some Hindus who have made a difference in the world, including Ghandi.

We held an eight team netball tournament on Wednesday afternoon, with each team playing seven games as part of a round robin tournament. Everyone joined in well and had a great attitude to teamwork and fair play.

We finished the week by playing card games, including Top Trumps, Dobble and Uno.

Have a great half term break,

Mr Craig & Mr Daly

Homework:

Each week, children will be expected to:

• complete the TTRS work set online (and complete their maths sheet starting in the Spring Term)
• practise spellings (using Spelling Shed) set online
• read at least five times a week (preferably to an adult!)

All of the children should be able to log in to TTRS and Spelling Shed as we have had a practice in school to ensure they know what they're doing! If you have any issues, please let us know sooner rather than later!
