What a nice way to end the week, with some Comic Relief joke telling! We definitely have some stand-up comediens of the future in Kestrel Class!! Well done to Amelie who won with: "Why do seagulls live by the sea? Because if they lived by the bay they'd be bagels.". Priceless.
We have been busily finishing our diary entries this week, and I have been genuinely moved by the empathy and understanding the children have show for the characters in our class book. Today, we began to write an informal letter from one of our other characters, and I look forward to reading them next week!
In maths, we have been learning how to find percentages of amounts and will continue next week with finding increases and decreases of percentages. It's tricky, but we're getting there!
Through our map work, we have been learning more about the major rivers, oceans and seas of the world, as well as how to find our way around an atlas effectively to gain different types of information.
Next week we have our trip to Linton and Burnsall to look forward to, where we can see for ourselves how rivers affect our landscape, and gather some field data- let's hope for good weather!
Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Jarvis
Peacocks class enjoyed a heated debate about deforestation this week. They role played the part of different characters such as timber loggers, cattle ranchers, environmental campaigners, scientists and more. Everyone in our class believes we should protect the rainforest so it was quite hard for those people playing the part of cutting it down. They soon got into it though!
Our English lessons this week are based on a beautiful book by Jeannie Baker which is also about deforestation. Next week we need to work on our class assembly for the following Monday and try to improve on our recorder playing skills so that we can impress our audience.
Have A lovely weekend!

Hi there,
We will be going on our trip next week and we are out in the elements all day, so we just wanted to make sure we are all prepared and ready! Here are a few reminders…
The children need to arrive at school at the usual time, ready for departure at 9:15am.
Kestrel class will be going on Tuesday 19th March
Puffin class will be going on Wednesday 20th March
Blackbird class will be going on Thursday 21st March
We aim to return to school by 4:00pm, and ask that children are collected from their cloakroom doors, not the front of the building, so we can properly monitor who has been collected safely.
They will need to wear their uniform as normal (PE kit is fine) on the top half but may wish to wear warmer jogging bottoms on the bottom half, especially if the forecast is poor. Jeans are unsuitable. Warm, waterproof coats are needed, and comfortable shoes as we will be walking around both villages (sticking to paths).
They will need to bring a backpack containing their lunch and enough drink to last the day. They do not need any spending money.
If you child is travel sick, please ensure they have taken a tablet before we set off, and provide one, in a labelled bag, for the return journey.
Many thanks,
