We have continued our unit on William Shakespeare. This week we created character webs, wrote agony aunt letters and created emotion graphs for one character from the play.
We continued our learning on materials with a practical investigation on the properties of transparency, conductivity and magnetism.
This week, we have continued our Multiplication and Division (B) learning by practising our short division methods with remainders and problem solving with multiplication & division.
This week, we have been using our learning from the trip to plan a new sustainable village in Oman. We thought about the features needed to make the village fit in with the traditions and cultures but fit for the future.
We created collages of Omani dhow boats using papers that we had already painted previously.

Please can we request that all children come to school on the day of their swimming lessons with the following equipment:
Swim Uniform in accordance with guidelines.
Swim hats for those with long hair. ALL hats must be secure on the head with no risk of slipping down over the face.
Goggles
Towel
Pool shoes (crocs or equivalent)
A waterproof bag to carry everything in.
Please see our Swimwear Guidelines on the website.
Please do not wear 'swim uniform' into school for hygiene reasons. Please do not wear an alternative gym or running kit for swimming lessons. It's important to use only 'Swim Uniform' and the recommendations listed above in the pool, as other fabrics become incredibly heavy when wet.
We have created WhatsApp groups for parents to know about urgent messages or reminders. Email will continue to be the main form of communication. Please see our BSM WhatsApp Groups Document for all the links. Please read the code of conduct carefully before joining any BSM WhatsApp groups.
