Four year 6 pupils went to the University of Kent to carry out extra maths activities.  Their first session involved cracking codes.  They managed to work out the combination of numbers to open the briefcase and won some sweets!

I have just finished reading ‘The House with Chicken Legs’ by Sophie Anderson.  I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will now be adding it to Elm’s Book Corner to be enjoyed by others.

Summary:

Marinka dreams of a normal life, where her house stays in one place long enough for her to make friends. But her house has chicken legs and moves on without warning. For Marinka’s grandmother is Baba Yaga, who guides spirits between this world and the next. Marinka longs to change her destiny and sets out to break free from her grandmother’s footsteps, but her house has other ideas…

 

I look forward to being able to add some book reviews from the children on here!

Well done to Louisa in Elm class!  Louisa is a model pupil and applies herself well in all subject areas!

Well done to Medard in Elm.

Medard works hard in all subject areas and shows high levels of perseverance!

This week children have been asked to complete the Modal verb worksheet. We have been working on Modal verbs in class.

They should also attempt to complete all of their Reading Plus activities and can also spend some time on TTRS.

Have a great weekend!
