What an amazing week we have had this week. The children have tried their best during a week of assessments. They should be incredibly proud of their efforts as they have shown excellent behaviour and effort despite the change to the school day. As well as the assessments, we were also lucky enough to have a STEM lesson with staff from Sheffield University and end the week by practising a range of techniques that we can use when we prepare the ingredients for our soups in a couple of weeks.

Notices:

Next week, the children need their P.E. kits on Monday and Thursday although we do ask them to be in school all week if possible. Earrings should be removed before school please. Please ensure children have a suitable outdoor kit on Monday (white t-shirt, a warm jumper, jogging bottoms and trainers).

Please encourage the children to spend a little time each day reading, which we would be grateful if you logged on boomreader so that the children get dojos in school, practise their spelling patterns and spend a little time working on mastering their times tables.

Next week's learning:
- In maths, we will finish looking at questions based on information in tables.
- In reading, we will continue to analyse the story 'How to Train Your Dragon'
