Prayers of peace

This afternoon the children have changed St Francis' prayer of peace to make their own prayers. They are very thoughtful prayers.

Amazing calculation

In numeracy we have been learning column method this week. Today the children have been solving problems that involve carrying over the tens. Amazing! some children wanted to be given more questions for homework! If you want to make your own questions you can create the work sheets from The Maths Worksheet Site.com.

Heroes

As part of our Olympics topic we have been learning about heroes. Yesterday we discussed what makes a hero, such as being brave and determined. Today we had been inventing our own superheroes. They look great!

Stole designs

In RE today the children have been designing stoles. Stoles are the bands of cloth that priests wear around their neck. In their designs they've included symbols of forgiveness as we have been learning about reconciliation.

Sharing our learning

Parents have come in this afternoon so that the children can share their books and their learning.

Abacus adding

In numeracy we have been looking at how to use an abacus. Today we used them to help us with our adding. Some of us were able to add hundreds, tens and units and some were even able to add four digit numbers!

Olympic stories

For a big write today the children have written stories about a character going to the olympics. Their story had to include a problem that gets solved. They were very interesting.
The children also marked their own work to make sure they included their targets.

Pirate animations

The children have spent a couple of lessons making some amazing animations about pirates. They used their improved sentences as a starting point and now they look fantastic.

Singing in the courtyard

We had some super singing in the courtyard. The children performed the actions really well, including going 'down the alley'.

Our Topic Assembly

Today we shared our learning with the rest of the school and with parents and carers. We used loud voices. The children wrote the script yesterday and we only had one chance to practice before we performed.
Thank you to all the parents and carers who came to share our learning.

Homework

It's nice to come back from the holiday and be handed a project folder from a child who wants to continue learning in the holidays.
Well done K for this bit of homework on our topics of Bristol and Pirates. Keep up the good learning!

More map making

The children did a fantastic Big Write giving directions to their hidden treasure today. They also used their map making skills to make a map of the courtyard. I wonder if there is treasure buried there?
