This week's news:

Dydd Gwener Hapus / Happy Friday! 

This week, our Superhero Spelling focus was the long ‘e’ sound. In our language lessons, we have been developing the skills the children will need for next week’s diary writing. This has included changing verbs from past to present tense and using adjectives to make writing more engaging for the reader. The children certainly rose to the challenge, describing books as “enchanting” and “magical”, lunches as “delicious” and “filling”, and ice cream as “incredibly sticky”. These imaginative descriptions definitely made their work more enjoyable for us to read and mark!

In maths, we have been practising rounding numbers to the nearest 10, 100 and 1,000, as well as revisiting number bonds to 100. These important skills will support the children as we move on to addition and subtraction with larger numbers next week.

In PE, we continued to develop our netball skills and enjoyed taking part in a range of team games that can be played without equipment during break and lunchtime. We were particularly proud of the excellent sportsmanship, teamwork and cooperation shown by all of the children.

As part of our inquiry project, we explored the work of Welsh artist Gwen John, focusing on her use of oil paint and colour. Inspired by her techniques, we created our own oil pastel drawings, experimenting with layering colours to add texture and depth to our artwork.
