Spare Clothes
If you have any children’s skirts, trousers or underwear that you no longer need, we would be very grateful if you could bring them into school. It is always helpful for us to have some spare items of clothing just in case we need them. Thank you for your help.

English
In English this week, we have continued reading our Greek myth, Theseus and the Minotaur. We have begun to explore the inner thoughts of different characters and on Wednesday, we took an imaginary journey through a labyrinth like the main character Theseus. What an incredible experience for the children! Next week we will finish reading the myth and share our opinions of the ending
Maths
This week, our marvellous mathematicians have continued their learning about fractions. They have delved deeper into non-unit fractions of a set of objects and reasoning with fractions of an amount. They finished the week with an assessment of their knowledge of fractions. Next week, we will be starting a block of lessons on Money!
History
In History this week we have studied significant Ancient Greek cities/polis such as Athens and Corinth and we have compared this civilization with Ancient Egypt which we studied last term. In our next lesson we will be learning about Alexander the Great.
PSHRE
In our lesson this week, the children have discussed how they can use their friendship skills to solve conflicts with their peers. They have explored how to compromise in order to find a win-win solution.
