In our penalutimate week, we are being to round off and reflecting on our learning for this shorter half term.

In English, we having completed the planning of narrative writing inspired by the the short film, ‘Ruin’, reading to write next week.

Maths saw the children continuing to refresh, repeat and apply their calculation and problem solving strategies in addition and subtraction before they move onto problem solving investigations next week.

In Science, we having been looking at substances and whether they form a reversible or irreversible state.

RE saw us round off our Lent unit before Holy Week next week. The children reflected on and illustrated their own path of repentance so that they may live a fufilling life. Also, as part of Diversity Week, we looked at Sikhism through Sikh stories and compared how the values of a different faith reflect in our own Christian faith.

On Tuesday in collective worship we honoured the National Day of Reflection in our classes where the children wrote prayers for the families that have been affected by loss during the last year. We hope as a nation and a community that we can begin to heal from this period of uncertainty and loss and move forward into a sunnier and more hopeful time ahead.
