Rawdon Littlemoor Primary School

What a busy week this has been! You can tell it's almost Christmas, and we are enjoying learning our carols ready for the carol concert in church on the last day of term.

In other music news, we are almost at the end of our time with Mrs Cosavella now, and are bringing all of our learning together by composing our own pieces. We have worked incredibly well in our groups, sharing ideas and cooperating brilliantly to produce our final pieces.

In DT lessons, we have started to build our Onagers (Roman catapults) and enjoyed improving our sawing and drilling skills. When they are completed, we shall be having our whole keystage Onager-off Competition to see whose catapult can fire a missile over the longets distance!

Today was Christmas dinner/ jumper day and we enjoyed eating together in the hall, pulling crackers (and telling terrible jokes) whilst listening to Christmas tunes. And after school today we have just finished our Christmas fair - it was lovely, and we are now all in the mood for the real thing in a couple of weeks' time!

On Monday, the children will be bringing home information about their Christmas party - so check planners for this.

Have a lovely weekend!

A busy week filled with Maths, English and Science! We have started to think of out tomb story in English where in Maths we have been practicing our short multiplication. We are moving onto division next week! In Science we have completed more experiments looking at different gases.

A very festive week we have had near the end! Today we had our Christmas jumper day AND Christmas dinner. The children enjoyed their dinner and crackers. To end the week we had our Christmas fair that is a fun filled event!

Have a lovely weekend!

Another full-on week in Blackbirds. 

In English, our newspaper report is well underway. We've thought a lot about Caesar's early life this week and will move on to his life as emporer next week. As always, I am impressed with the thought the class put into their writing and how they constantly strive to improve. 

In Maths, we have completed our work on Area. Whilst this was tricky to begin with, we have mastered the formula and are now tackling using it in more problem-solving style questions.

We had a fantastic trip out to Benton Park on Thursday to see the dress rehearsal of their Performing Arts Showcase. It was great for the children to see what the possibilities are when they get to high school and it was throroughly enjoyed by everyone. 

What a lovely array of Christmas jumpers there were on display today - it feels like Christmas has really arrived! Christmas Dinner was enjoyed by all who had it and it was lovely to share a table with such polite children. 

Have a lovely weekend, 

The Blackbird Team.
