| Class 8 really enjoyed reading The Undefeated by Kwame Alexander. We were moved and inspired and wrote some reflections in our thinking journals. |  |

Class 7 had great fun singing along to 'Jingle Bell Rock' today. We hope that you enjoy watching it as much as we did and we wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
Class 7 are so proud of their performance of 'How to Build a Poem'. We hope that you enjoy it too!
 We are coming up to the end of 2020 and what a year it has been! This afternoon, Class 7 spent some time time reflecting on what we have enjoyed this year and the challenges that we have overcome. We then discussed what we are looking forward to in 2021.
In quick maths, we had a look at some additive yohaku puzzles. Each row and each column must add together to create the total that is given to you. They were trickier than we expected and we moved in an out of the learning pit as the totals got higher. We persevered with them and in the end we didn't want the lesson to finish! In geography year 5 have been using mapmaker to explore the population concentration in England, Spain and Brazil. In year 5, we have been making Christmas cards that will be sent to people that are living on their own. We used a mixture of resources to create collages and unique designs. Today Alice's maths group had a go at Nrich problem: Rounding decimal dice.  We worked through the problem, being systematic to find all the possibilities and spotting patterns in our work. We discussed what we had noticed and made links to previous learning. At the end of the lesson, we weren't satisfied... We had so many 'what if' questions to explore! In pairs, we chose the question we wanted to dig deeper at and worked together on it. This half term, Class 7 have been working with Liz to practice their drawing and painting skills. They have spent time closely observing drains and then creating what they see. Here are some examples of what the children have made.
