Week 4 Spring 2 in 5HC

Date: 22nd Mar 2024 @ 4:25pm

Many children were very upset today as it was the last day of Miss Doherty's placement. They can be such a caring class and it was lovely to see how much they cared. We wish Miss Doherty all the best!

In English this week, we have been exploring different balanaced arguments, with the aim of writing one of our own next week. We have learned about the past perfect tense and various cohesive phrases that we can use to link different parts of the argument together.

In maths, we have been learning about the volume of cuboids. Some children took a while to understand why the formula involves multiplying the width, height and depth but we got there! I love how enthusiastic the class are about their maths learning!

Miss Doherty also taught a lovely wellbeing lesson this week about positive affirmations. The children wrote secret post-its to each other about what they like or admire. The atmosphere was calm and everyone was very kind to one another- definitely something we need to continue doing regularly!

I also thoroughly enjoyed speaking to all the parents at our progress evenings this week. I hope you found it useful and can join me in celebrating the children's successes.

I can't believe its nearly Easter! Have a great weekend.
