Materials needed for Science

In Science this half term we are looking at Rocks. As part of this topic, we will also be looking at soil formation. Next Tuesday, we will be making mini compost bins in small groups. We would be very grateful if anyone has any spare empty 2 litre pop bottles, shredded paper and any fruit and vegetable scraps (please no nuts or anything that has come into contact with nuts). If you can help with any of these things please could they be brought into school by next Tuesday. The fruit and vegetable scraps can be brought in on Tuesday. Thank you so much for your help!

Homework 25.1.24

You have all been working really hard on multiplication this week in Maths. I have set your homework on EdShed. Year 3 are looking at multiplying 2 digit by 1 digit numbers and year 4 are looking at either multiplying 2 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers or multiplying 3 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers depending on which activity I have set for you. Remember to also keep practising your times tables as they will really help you in our Maths lessons!

Bookfest 2024

Today we introduced the books for the Bookfest to Red Class and all of the children were so excited to get started! We have chosen a mixture of different books for the children to read, some are shorter than others and some of the books may require an adult to help the children to read them. The children have chosen their first book and should have taken it home with them. As soon as they have finished reading their book, they can bring it back into school and choose another. It would be lovely for them to try and read as many of the books as possible. We hope that they will enjoy taking part in the Bookfest this year!
