Harvest Thank You

Thank you to our school family for a wonderful Harvest Festival today.

Well done to the children for superb performances this afternoon.

Huge thanks to everyone who made a donation for Newport Foodbank.

3M Art Shirts 10/10/24

Please could you send an old oversized (Dads, Mums, Grandads, Brothers) shirt into school tomorrow (Thurs 10/10) so the children can wear them as an Art shirt.

We are going to try and make some cave paintings, using a water based paint spray; so ideally I would like the children’s uniform covered as much as possible.

This shirt can then stay in their lockers and become their Art shirt for future activities.

Thanks

Mr M

6J Eat Well Session

6J had their Eat Well workshop yesterday; they learned about the main food groups, which foods are helpful for their development and how to sort food into the correct groups. It was a really useful session and the children thoroughly enjoyed it.

6J Maths – Division using Place Value

6J had an amazing maths lesson today: we looked at the concept of short division using a pictorial and concrete approach. We used the place value counters to represent our dividend and exchanged them where necessary. Visualising the learning really helped the children to develop their understanding of the procedure.

Class 3B English topic

Today the children enjoyed starting a new book for their English lesson focus – ‘Stone Age Boy’. This ties in nicely with our upcoming trip to the Shropshire Hills centre in the final week of this half term, and our History topic, Stone Age to Iron Age.
