Writing Part 4

Today in writing they copied the sentence making sure they used a capital letter at the beginning of the sentence followed by a full stop at the end of the sentence. We made sure that we had finger spaces in between our words. In activate (do now ) we checked that we knew what who?, doing? and where? .We made sure by completing a task first before our writing.

Scooter Fun!

We’ve been making the most of the beautiful spring sunshine by heading outdoors to develop our scooter skills! The children have been practising their balance, co-ordination and control as they weave, glide and steer with growing confidence. It’s been wonderful to see their determination, teamwork and big smiles as they challenge themselves and cheer each other on.

The Student Becomes the Master

Today the students became the masters of their own learning during our maths consolidation lesson on statistics. They confidently explained concepts and challenged each other with thoughtful questions and worked collaboratively to solve problems. Amazing work, keep it up!
