13th February 2006

The children had a great time with making their animations last week. Annabelle Unsworth, who worked with each of the three classes, was extremely complimentary and was amazed at how the children worked in their co-operative learning teams.
This week, we are looking at how to write an effective explanation in literacy. In numeracy, we are measuring objects and reading from scales accurately. You could help at home, by asking your child to read the bathroom scales, or reading the kitchen scales when measuring out ingredients. In science, we are investigating the solubility of a variety of materials and reviewing work on forces and magnetism.
After the half term, we are making musical instruments as part of our design and technology curriculum. Please start to save any boxes, tubes or any materials which would be useful when building these.
Also, a reminder that Year 6 children will be going up to St. Gregs on Tuesday afternoon for the drama performance. Please return any permission slips by tomorrow.
