Tim Peake have had a super week that began last Friday when they achieved the Attendance Cup!

We have all been working hard to ensure that we are at school every day, ready and on time and we are well on our way to our next attendance treat by spelling out the words ‘ST BLASIUS’ – what treat will they choose?

On Wednesday, those children selected to take part in DCAT Enriched (a third of the class!) took part in a West End Workshop to begin to learn their piece – Mrs Bushell popped in to see how they were at break time and has never seen so much enthusiasm, energy and enjoyment in one song – well done all!

We have introduced ‘cones’ to enable us to challenge our brains and our motor movements in between lessons – when books are being handed out, we work on beating our prior score to stack and unstack the cones with our left and right hands – our partner keeps score!

In English we have begun a unit based on Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi and we have been using drama prior to our writing tasks – look at us acting out the scene when Master Cherry was about to chop the piece of wood! 

In Maths we have been learning about fractions and yesterday we had to make a whole using unit fractions – there was a lot of calculating, and movement, to ensure we had the right amount of parts!

And even a wet play in June didn’t dampen our enthusiasm, creativity and fun!

What a super week – and an amazing year we have had – Mrs Bushell will miss you all lots when you move up to Year 4!
