NB 1: This week's parent newsletter (#27) can be found here: https://www.stratton.cornwall.sch.uk/newsletters-1/

NB 2: With SATs approaching, we want the children to stay on top of their learning so we can hit the ground running when we return! Attached below this update are the Easter homework 'Ten-for-Ten' booklets. We will be sending each child home with one, but if it's lost, you may want to look at them on here or download them. They are also available on your child's Google Classroom page, along with the answers. The idea is that these are done for ten minutes a day for ten days (as per the name!). Please also ensure your child reads regularly through the Easter break.

This week, we had project day, did some orienteering and wrote reports on volcanoes (as well as our Alma story).

Project Day was the focal point of this week, with the majority of the children bringing in a wonderful project linked to our topics for the term. The turn out from the parents was equally impressive, and the children were excited to see how many signatures they collected on their certificates!

In science, we studied Darwin's finches, exploring how different beaks might be suitable for different food sources.

As we have looked at the Galapagos and tectonic plates this term, we wrote a report on volcanoes, including a section on the volcanic Galapagos.

We also wrote a sequel to the Alma animation in our English sessions this week, while in maths, we studied translations and reflections.

To celebrate Easter, we had an orienteering session, taking the children on an adventure around the school to earn their eggs!

Have a lovely 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!
