Welcome back! We hope you all had a wonderful and restful half-term break. It has been fantastic to see the children return to school ready to learn and full of enthusiasm.

In Maths, we have been developing our understanding of money. The children have been adding, multiplying and dividing amounts, using both written methods and practical problem-solving activities. They have shown great confidence when working out totals and calculating change.

In English, we explored the features of a playscript. The children chose from several fun prompts and created their own imaginative scripts, focusing on dialogue, stage directions and character expression. It has been wonderful to see their creativity shine.

In Science, we began our new topic on sound. We investigated pitch and discussed how sounds can be high or low depending on vibrations. The class enjoyed exploring how different sounds are made. In History, we started learning about the Vikings. We discussed who they were, where they came from and why they travelled to Britain. The children are already asking some fantastic questions!

Finally, we were very excited to step onto the stage for the first time to begin rehearsals for our production of Joseph! It was a wonderful experience to start putting the performance together, and we are all looking forward to the rehearsals ahead.
