Looking back:
So, it’s been a busy week with lots of preparation for next week’s tests, but lots of regular lessons being delivered too, just to keep our pupils’ feet firmly on the ground.
We’ve been busy revising grammar, spelling, reading and maths for our assessments next week and our pupils have been picking up tips on what to do (and what not to do) for next week. They are as prepared as can be and all that we ask is that they try their best and be proud of themselves. They brought home a (cream-coloured) letter on Friday to explain what they may bring into school next week to support them with their tests.
Mrs. Cooper has continued with the work on the history of Britain – there really is a lot of fascinating learning going on and the pupils are enjoying finding out about our country’s history. Mrs. Benson has continued with the music and it seems this is a hit too, with our pupils enjoying time in the hall, listening – and dancing – to a range of music. Premier Sports was lots of fun on Tuesday with Miss Clarke encouraging the class to let off steam with some fairly energetic team games.
What a great week – let’s hope that next week is just as kind. J
