How is it possible that we only have one week left until October Half Term Holiday?   The children have worked incredibly hard this week in English, completing their scripts as part of their 'Big Write' for our book Tar Beach.    They have produced some excellent work and just need to finish publishing next week.

In Maths, we have been working on addition and subtraction.  The main focus has been on subtraction and exchanging across a zero.  

Investigating sound continues to be noisy, and we have started to investigate why sounds get quieter the further they are from the sound source.  We will continue with this after half-term, as next week we will be doing a day of computing instead.

We have considered the hierarchy in a Roman Patriarchal society; the children are quite shocked by not only the difference in wealth between the rich and the poor but also the role of the man in ancient Rome. 

The children looked great today in their yellow and thank you to all those who sent in money to support a very worthy cause.
