What a fantastic last week we have had, Kingfishers! You have all worked really hard and I'm very proud of the work we have accomplished this week!

Maths

We have continued subtracting using the column method. We have looked at borrowing from our tens column, but also from our hundreds. The children worked hard to complete these questions and even challenged themselves on reasoning questions. 

English

This week we have delved deeper into our knowledge on biographies. We discussed information about Jane Goodall's life and spoke about what she discovered about chimpanzees. We referred to the features found in a biography, such as a title, introduction, subheadings, key facts and quotations. 

The Harvest Festival 

On Monday the whole school visited St Wystan's Church to perform our harvest song 'Conkers.' I was so impressed with how Kingfishers performed their song; they sung beautifully and even remembered to add our actions. A huge thank you for all the help we received from parents, it was really appreciated! 

Notices

The spellings I have sent home will be due in the first Thursday back (6th). We have also sent home a times table activity booklet. 

I hope you all have a well earned break, Kingfishers. Well done on a fantastic first half term.
