The week in Review

Maths

In Maths, we have been working on money and applying our knowledge of decimals to this work. We have converted quantities of money from pounds to pence and vice versa and solved problems involving money.

Humanities

In Humanities we have focused on why the Indus Civilisation was so impressive and more advanced than much more recent eras.

English

This week in English we have been doing lots of Shared Writing as well as Independent Writing to create our own legends.

Science

In Science we planned and conducted a Fair Test to investigate which materials conduct electricity.

Art

In Art, we choose a different world landmark to draw and paint, practising the techniques we have learned in the past two lessons.

PSHE

In PSHE, we have discussed money; what it is used for and how to make responsible choices regarding how we use it.

Next DT Project

Our next DT project involves sewing! We will be asking for some parent helpers to come and support the children in learning this new skill so watch out for a google form soon!

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.
