Well done and a big thank you to everyone who helped Class 3 with their 'Car Boot' Sales. We have made a profit of over £65 towards our upcoming trip to Thinktank in Birmingham on Wednesday 12th Feb.
Our summer term topic is "India" - this will run across the whole of the summer term. We have already had an exciting start with our visit to the Sikh Gurdwara in Hadley!
Have you seen our cuddly snow leopard? Class 3 decided that they wanted to support the conservation of this wonderful creature and raised the money to sponsor a leopard for a year. Our cuddly leopard "Tigger" may make visits to Class 3's homes! If you would like to take photographs to show/display in class we can follow Tigger's out of school adventures!
We had a fantastic day today as part of our "World of Work" day when children dressed up in their 'chosen' professions. Congratuations to Ethan and Matthew who were awarded the job in our Y5/6 job interviews.
Week 1 spellings will be handed out on Tuesday 2nd September for a test on Friday 5th September. All children will be given words relating to our topic for the first half of Autumn term: "Healthy me!"
Spelling groups will be more formally organised in week 2 of Autumn term when we have all settled in and I have begun to know some of the children a little better. Personalised lists for some individuals will also begin in week 2.
Week 1: List 1: lungs body heart germ teeth brain blood liver cell pump
