English – Poets in the Making!
This week in English, we’ve been exploring the world of poetry—specifically Clerihews! These short, funny poems about real or imaginary people have given children a chance to play with rhythm, rhyme, and creativity. We’ve been working hard on planning our ideas, using strong vocabulary, and focusing on performance skills to bring our poems to life. There were some brilliant performances, full of expression, humour, and even a few props! Lily said it was really exciting listening to other people’s poetry.

Maths – Times Tables and Decimals
In Maths, we’ve had a big focus on timetables, helping to build confidence and speed with quick recall. Regular practice at home has really helped with this too! We’ve also continued our work on decimals, partitioning and comparing decimals. Children are using place value tables to support their learning. Archie said ordering decimals became easier once he understood ascending and descending order.

Geography – Learning Means the World
Our curriculum creature, Shackleton, has been helping us explore the amazing island of Fiji! We've been learning about the physical and human features of Fiji, and comparing it with Scotland and Brazil. The children enjoyed spotting similarities and differences in landscapes, weather, culture, and population. It’s been a brilliant way to connect our learning to the wider world. Joshua thinks that Fiji is an exciting place to learn about!

PE
In PE, we’ve kicked off our Athletics unit with a focus on the basics: running, jumping, and throwing. The children have shown excellent sportsmanship while working on their technique, stamina, and coordination. We look forward to seeing their confidence grow as we introduce new activities to our learning. Miracle said she enjoyed practising jumping!

Thank you for your continued support at home—whether it's reading together, practising timestables, or just chatting about the day’s learning, it all makes a big difference. Please could all homework books be brought into school as new homework sheets for this term are ready to go out.
