What a Busy Week We’ve Had!

This Monday, we welcomed our school’s mental health team for a really important session. They talked to us about low moods and shared some brilliant tips on how to change our outlook when we’re feeling down. It was a great reminder that looking after our minds is just as important as looking after our bodies!

In Maths, we’ve been diving into division – and not just the easy stuff! We’re tackling two-digit numbers all the way up to four-digit numbers. There’s been lots of regrouping and even some tricky remainders to keep us on our toes. The children have shown fantastic perseverance – well done, everyone!

Over in English, we’ve been exploring an extract from The Phantom Coach by Amelia B. Edwards. It’s full of suspense and atmosphere, and we’ve had some brilliant discussions about how the author creates tension. The pupils are really enjoying getting into the mystery!

Tinier and less incongruous in its arrangements than the outside, the room was awakening my curiosity. The fire was puffing out smoke by the second. The walls were bare except for the scientific and mathematical scribbles. A mummy stood in the front room surrounded by organs, acid puddles and chairs.

Science has begun to take us on a fascinating journey into the world of reproduction – both in humans and other animals. There have been lots of “wow” moments as we’ve begun to learn about life cycles and how amazing nature really is.

Finally, in History, we’ve been looking at the incredible legacy of the Greeks and Romans on Britain. From language to architecture, their influence is everywhere – and the children have loved beginning spotting examples in modern life, and relating them to their own experiences.

What a week of Wisdom, Friendship, and Endurance! Here’s to more exciting learning ahead!
