Weekend wonder…
I wonder if you can make a healthy snack. What might you include? You could write down the recipe so we can all try it!
Over the last few weeks we have been learning some fantastic songs for the Junior Music Festival in March. The songs and the words are very tricky but we are enjoying learning different styles and parts that are already sounding brilliant. We enjoyed a rehearsal with 4 other local schools via Zoom and got an idea of just how powerful singing in a large choir can be.
Owls are doing so well with their new method for division. We have reminded ourselves that new learning can be tricky but with practice things become easier. The class have been exploring numbers and representing them with counters, base 10 and other manipulatives to learn how the method of short division works. It is incredibly important that the children use their times table knowledge to support these calculations which is why you may have noticed the homework is focused on building fluency around times tables and related facts.
In RE this term we are thinking about why people may go on special journeys and in particular why pilgrimages are an important aspect of many religions around the world. This week we have reflected on life as a journey and the milestones that may be encountered along life’s journey. Some interesting and insightful comments from class discussion.
Have a great weekend.
