Our first week in Leaders

The children have had a brilliant first week back in school.

This week, marked the whole school coming back together in the hall for lunch for the first time since 2020. Leaders were tasked with taking on the role of servers and have done a fabulous job so far. On Wednesday, children also paired up with children in Pioneers to walk from school to watch the Tour of Britain. The children were great role models for the pioneers, demonstrating exactly what it means to be a leader. 

The children have worked extremely hard in all lessons this week. In maths, the children have tackled Roman numerals and place value, working with numbers up to 1,000,000 and 10,000,000. 

In English, our writing focus has been on The Tour of Britain. The children have used a range of conjunctions in their writing so far and we are looking forward to completing this work next week.

To finish off our week, the children researched their focus artist for this half term, Esther Mahlangu. We are looking forward to learning more about her artwork and using it to inspire ours. 

Next week marks the return of swimming lessons and music with Ralph, which we are all looking forward to. Keep an eye on our class blog page for updates!
