Rawdon Littlemoor Primary School

We've had another full-on but lovely week in Kestrels. In maths, we have been continung with our mesuring work, and then in the latter part of the week, we have been revising our understanding of 2D and 3D shapes, culminating in a investigation into the nets of cubes today!

We have also managed to complete our dragonfly explanation texts - there is now nothing we do not know about this incredible little insect - truly amazing!

On Tuesday, we got a sneak preview of the lower Key Stage 2 performance of Abbarella at the dress rehearsal, and what a show it was! We had some proud big brothers and sisiters watching on and we were all very impressed with their confidence on stage. Well done Year 3 and 4! Year 6 also got to watch their Foundation Buddies at their Easter Bonnet parade and came back brimming with pride.

On Wednesday we enjoyed hunting for our Easter eggs with the Easter bunny too. A very action-packed week all in all!

Have a lovely holiday; let's hope the rain stops for us!

P.S. To the person who's left their mobile phone at school, I will keep it locked away in the stock cupboard for safe keeping. I will be in school 10- 1 on Monday, should you wish to collect.

What a show! Well done to everyone for an amazing performance this week. Fabulous dancing, singing, signing, musicianship and acting. The children worked so hard and really put in the maximum effort! Thank you for supporting your child to take part in this confidence building and fun, performing arts experience. 

Other egggciting events of the week were our Easter  egg hunt and our year three visit to church for the Easter Story. 

Everyone has written a detailed newspaper report about the show and completed a beautiful Piece of Stone Henge art work. In maths, we have made a start on decimals this week which we will continue after Easter.

No homework this holiday except keep reading and practising your times tables on TTRS!

I hope every family has a relaxing and peaceful Easter.

Best wishes 

Miss Kemp

What a busy week with all our lovely Easter activities! The children have enjoyed making Easter cards, performing in our Easter Bonnet Parade and hunting for Easter eggs around school. 

Children also enjoyed a visit from the dentists. The dentists were very impressed with the children's knowledge of how to keep our teeth clean and healthy.

When we come back, our first week on our 'Growth' topic will focus on the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. We are hoping to change our role play to a Garden Centre - if you have any spare seed packets (full or empty), plant pots or anything else that we could use, we would be really grateful. 

We hope you all have a lovely Easter and eat lots of chocolate!

See you on Monday 17th. 

Take care,

Miss Macey and Miss Dempster

To finish an action packed term, we have had a fun filled week in Nightingales class. 

During our science lessons, we have designed and carried out our own investigations using magnets. Some of us decided to test the effectiveness of a magnet in water. We have also been looking at the real world uses of magnets such as maglev trains in Japan. 

To go alongside our amazing Abbarella shows, we have written a newspaper article about our dress rehearsal. This involved us acting as reporters and interviewing our friends and teachers about their opinions. We finished publishing these today and can't wait for the parents to read them in our topic books. 

What a brilliant term this has been with story telling projects, Lineham farm and our Abbarella spectacular! Thanks again to all parents and carers for your continued support. 

Next half term our PE days are Wednesday (swimming) and Thursday.
