Year 3 has enjoyed a fantastic start to the term by diving into their core text, The Accidental Prime Minister. The children have been busy imagining how a young boy could rise to the country's highest office. As part of our learning, we investigated the purpose of a manifesto and looked at the persuasive devices used to win over an audience. Putting their new knowledge into practice, the class has begun crafting their own school manifestos. It has been a brilliant week of creative thinking and hard work—well done, Year 3!

This week, Year 4 have immersed ourselves in our new core text Wonder, and our global theme of Identity and Diversity. We considered what 'normal' means and how disabilities cannot always be seen.  We made predictions using conjunctions and evidence before thinking about the thoughts and feelings of someone with a disability, as well as their appearance. 

Year 5 have enjoyed exploring their new core text this week - Too much trouble. The children also used their inference skills to understand how different characters were feeling throughout different events. This text links to our Curriculum learning of Crime and punishment in the Victorian era. During our first History lesson, we learnt about key events and key figures of the Victorian period.

This week, Year 6 have been immersing themselves into revision, ready for their end of key stage assessments. The children have worked tirelessly to achieve the best outcomes possible. They have been able to write their own short sotries using a variety of punctuation whilst also working hard to remember their arithmetic skills. To say the Year 6 teachers are proud of their attitude and hard work is an understatement. Keep it up Year 6, you've got this under control! 

DEC have enjoyed social skills this week and reconnecting with their friends. 

Jackson class celebrated St George's Day and enjoyed making shields to celebrate the patron saint of England as part of our British values. We have also started learning about the Roman Empire and cannot wait to learn more. 

Adams class are looking forward to learning about crime during Victorian times this term.
