This week in 5/6

Today has been Christmas Jumper Day and the children (and staff) all looked fabulous in their range of jumpers. 
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to our chosen charity. We have raised £289.02.

This year the School Council decided to donate the proceeds of our Christmas jumper day to Action Aid. Through this scheme we will sponsor a child to go to school and help support their community. We have already been paired up with a 6 year old girl from Malawi in Africa. Her name is Thoko and we have raised enough funds to support her education for an entire year! We will receive updates throughout the year of her progress which we will share with you and our children. Many thanks to you all for your continued support in supporting children's rights on a global scale.

This week in English we have been writing a description narrative with a Christmas theme. 

In Maths the children got quite a treat when we asked them to draw on the tables - and yes, we said draw ON the tables!The children asked us a few times if we meant actually on the tables. They were amazing at working collaboratively and rather enjoyed this lesson. We wanted them to use their knowledge of rectangles and other shapes to find missing angles and lengths. 

I wonder how many you can find.....?
