The children have had a great first week and have settled back into school well. This week our learning will be as follows;

• In mathematics we will continue our work on place value. We will be focussing on rounding and estimating.
• In English we will continue our work around the Boy at the Back of the Class by Onjali Rauf. We will be working on developing a piece of persuasive writing around a positive school culture which we will then record as an infomercial.
• In science we will investigate the question what is sound?
• In RHE we will  look at the life and death of  Queen Elizabeth II,
• Our blocked foundation subject is music. This term we have an exciting opportunity to work with the English National Opera. We will be working on composing a piece of music.

This half term Millennium Class will go swimming every Tuesday morning. They will need to bring to school as swimming costume and towels. They may also bring a swimming hat and/or goggles.

Don’t forget our harvest festival is on Tuesday 13th September. Food contributions can be brought in on Monday and Tuesday mornings.
