The week in Review

In English this week, we have continued focusing on developing our sentences through fronted adverbials and conjunctions. We then sequenced the events of chapter 4 and created a story map before moving on to identify the features of a diary entry.

In Maths we have learned to subtract using re-grouping.

In Humanities, we ordered events from the Age of Exploration into chronological order.

In Science, we drew sound waves to show how a sound wave changes depending on its pitch and volume.

In PSHE, we have focused on our listening targets and set targets for ourselves.

In Art, we used the work of an artist to inspire our own pattern-making. We used the skills we have learned in mixing different tones, tints and shades to create attractive colour combinations for our work.

Have a wonderful half term break. We look forward to seeing you back in school on Sunday 26th October.

Swimming Kit

Please can we request that all children come to school on the day of their swimming lessons with the following equipment:

Swim Uniform in accordance with guidelines.
Swim hats for those with long hair. ALL hats must be secure on the head with no risk of slipping down over the face.
Goggles
Towel
Pool shoes (crocs or equivalent)
A waterproof bag to carry everything in.

Please see our Swimwear Guidelines on the website.

Please do not wear 'swim uniform' into school for hygiene reasons. Please do not wear an alternative gym or running kit for swimming lessons. It's important to use only 'Swim Uniform' and the recommendations listed above in the pool, as other fabrics become incredibly heavy when wet.

WhatsApp Groups

We have created WhatsApp groups for parents to know about urgent messages or reminders. Email will continue to be the main form of communication. Please see our BSM WhatsApp Groups Document for all the links. Please read the code of conduct carefully before joining any BSM WhatsApp groups.
