It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Christmas is well and truly approaching. The Nativity practises are beginning to take shape and we are all busy learning our lines. Learners have had a busy week in the classroom this week. We have welcomed families in to share with our maths learning, where each activity gave an ingredient of our typical maths lessons – eg maths key skills, number sense, times tables and problem and reasoning questions. We had a huge response to this and many families were able to attend, which was wonderful.

In RE, we have been busy learning about Advent and the traditions that occur in Christian lives. We discussed the meaning of the word Advent and why it was important for Christians to celebrate.

In English, we have completed our adverts to raise awareness for the Zambezi Sunrise Trust. We are busy making preparations for our own class fundraiser Movie Night. We have set our own target of £100 and are excited to see if we achieve it. We are all looking forward to enjoying a Christmas Movie and a slice of pizza together!

After a few frosty mornings, we have been looking at how frost and ice forms in Science. We were very interested to learn the freezing temperature of a liquid to solid and drew some wintry frosty pictures during the lesson.

Keep an eye on the diary dates in the newsletter, which will give you all the Christmas information you need.

Learners are looking forward to celebrating Christmas!
