Weekly update: Thursday 2nd April 2026

Maths - Across the week, we have looked at the close relationship between fractions and decimals.

English - To start our Easter week at school, we worked hard on bringing elements of RE and English together. We recapped our knowledge of the Easter story for Christians and what Christians might say in a prayer. We wrote our own Easter prayers.

In Reading, we have continued to read Holes by Louis Sachar and everyone has built a picture up in their head, of what Camp Green Lake, is really like!

The sound this week has been /s/ as in sincerely, section and guessed.

Bore Place - On Wednesday, we all enjoyed our time at Bore Place. The children did some science, learning about picking dandelions and then they used them to make dandelion cookies. After lunch, the class got to choose some of their own exploration in the woods. There was den building, forest games and hole digging to name a few!

PSHE - We had a wider class discussion about what we have learnt over the last few weeks and recapped our new knowledge of puberty changes in both male and females.

Computing - For Computing, the class have looked at the skills and tools we can use in Microsoft Word and the impact these can have on our work.

Easter Day - As a class, we moved across different rooms to do various activities. Each activity represented a different part of the Easter story. To represent Jesus being carried in the cross, we used balls being rolled in paint. For Simon helping carry the cross, we made our own crosses with lollipop sticks. For Jesus being laid in the tomb, we used magnetic tiles and LEGO to construct tombs.

Have a lovely Easter, Mrs Leach.

Home Learning

There is no home learning this week, as it is the Easter holidays. But if you wanted to..

- read lots!

- make a diary/journal about your time off

- build in nature (the garden, park or woods!)

From now on the Maths homework will be based on Purple Mash, not Mathletics. I will still be setting it in the same way on a Friday, due for the following Friday. All the children have/know their log-ins.
Do not forget to get rocking and use https://play.ttrockstars.com/ It is a fantastic way to consolidate and practise all the Times Tables.
app.sirlinkalot.org - for spelling practice .
