Welcome back, we hope that you have all had a lovely half term!

This week we have started our PSHE topic. We have been looking at how to keep our bodies healthy. We now know what foods are healthy and unhealthy and why getting enough sleep is important for us.

We LOVE our new English topic. We have been learning about castles! It has been so interesting finding out about the different uses of castles over time and the jobs that we might have been able to do if we lived inside a castle a long time ago.

In maths we have started anew topic this week. We are looking at FRACTIONS. We are beginning to understand how to find a half and a quarter of a shape, set of objects and number. We will continue our work on fractions next week, looking at thirds and equivalence.

In computing we have been programming using Code Studio. We found out how to use a loop or 'repeat' symbol in our algorithms.

PE has changed this half term slightly. We have continued our lessons on a Thursday with Coach Olivia but now have an outdoor PE session on a Wednesday with Mrs Dixon.

Next week we will be starting a new History topic. We are going to be finding out about Kings, Queens and castles. It is also world book day on Friday and we are allowed to come to school dressed as our favourite character from a book! Due to our attendence being so good we have also earned a whole school party!! I CANT WAIT for next week!
