English:
The children wrote a poem titled “I Am a Roman Soldier” using their five senses. I was very impressed by their effort, and the standard of writing was fantastic.

Maths:
We completed Fraction Unit A and finished with an assessment. We have now moved on to our new topic: Measuring – Mass.

Roman Day:
The Roman Day experience was enjoyable for everyone. A special thank you to the parents who gave up their time to help on the day. Your support made this experience possible for the children.

African Dancing:
African dancing was a big hit! The children were beautifully behaved and fully engaged. By the end they were a little tired, but they thoroughly enjoyed it.

Next Week

Parents’ Evening:
Parents’ evening will take place on Tuesday and Thursday. I am looking forward to seeing you all and discussing the progress your child is making in Discovery.

Circus Visit:
Thanks to the Henley Youth Festival, we have a visiting circus coming to school. This will be a great opportunity for the children to see how performers use their bodies, with a little science involved too.

Science:
Over the next two weeks we will focus on science, exploring friction and magnetism.
Please could I ask that your child brings in a pair of woollen gloves. Grippy gloves would also be appreciated.

For the whole week, children are allowed to:
