We have had another busy week, getting to grips with fractions and empathising with Ernest Shackleton’s predicament whilst on board his ship, Endurance. We have also completed our Easter Unit in RE, which has enabled the children to answer in greater depth our big question – ‘Why is the Resurrection such an important event for Christians?’

There is a lot to look forward to in the coming weeks either side of half-term – a Brazilian dance workshop next Friday awaits, led by a qualified expert (certainly not Mr P or Mr L!). Following this, after half-term, the children have a European Day on Friday 11th June, where a Euros football tournament will be hosted and a European country discovery day will take place in class.

It is great that we have been able to secure a day for each class at the Andrew Simpson Centre in June and early July. This is a venue that is in high demand at the moment from schools requesting day trips, so it is brilliant that we have this organised. A letter for this is being sent out in the next few days on parentmail. The price for the whole day with four activities is £37 – details of how to pay are enclosed in the parentmail.

Wishing you all a great weekend
