Happy Easter. I hope you are having a lovely holiday.
Have you been busy reading? If you have, can you read a book of your own and persuade us to try it?
You could: design a poster
write a book review
write a poem
or anything you can create to inspire us to read your book. Make sure you bring in your ideas and your book on Monday 24th May. I can’t wait to hear them.

Wow! Didn’t the children perform an amazing pantomime!
Oh yes they did!
If you were lucky enough to see it live, why not write us a letter to tell us about the parts you liked best. If you took some photos, please send us a copy.
Thank you to all the grown ups who helped us with costumes and props. You did a brilliant job. A special thank you goes to the lady who filmed the panto on our iPad. You did a great job. 🙂

Tickets for the pantomime have now been distributed, so please ask your child if they have still got them in their bag! There is still time to request further tickets before the performance on Friday. All the children are really looking forward to it. Oh yes they are! We hope you are too.
Our spellings this week are homophones, words which sound the same but have different spellings. It is really important that you talk to your child about what the words mean as they need to understand when to use the words. Here are some examples.
Can you create a poster to advertise our pantomime? Homework

Thursday 5th January
Happy New Year!
We have now had a read through of our script (which the children wrote sections of). Everyone has a part and knows what their character will be saying and the costume that they would like their character to wear. There is no need to buy anything new, often costumes can be borrowed from family and friends. Please come to see me by Friday 13th January if you have any questions about this.
The date for the pantomime is Friday 3rd February at 2pm. This will be a ticket only event but each family will be able to buy as many tickets as they would like (depending on fire regulations!) More details on how to get tickets will be sent on Monday 16th January. All the children are very excited and have worked very hard when reading the script this week.
Today we all worked on our rugby skills. Here are a few photos.

On Friday, we made a stir fry using the Roman ingredients. We all agreed that it was very tasty. The children made comments such as,
“The texture was nicer with the lettuce because it gave a bit of crunch.”
“The onions stood out as a different flavour as they were sweet.”
“The onions were soft in my mouth.”
” I liked it because it is healthy because it is made from vegetables.”
We also made a fruit salad.
