As always, we’ve had a great week in Rachael’s class! Late last week began our temporary move to our new classroom, so this week has been a settling in period. We’ve been so impressed with everyone’s attitude towards the move. We’re making the new classroom feel like home until we can be back to our own classroom.

We’ve started a new topic in Maths and have begun to develop our measuring skills. We have been using a nonstandard measurement (cubes) to measure everyday objects, guessing whether the objects will be more or less than 5 cubes.

In English, we have been focusing on Shakespeare. With our performance of ‘King Lear’ fast approaching, we have been meeting for sessions to develop our acting skills. Now roles have been given, we have been practicing the scenes and we’re ready to bring the stories to life in our performance!

In swimming this week, we were blown away by the confidence the children were showing in the water. Children who were previously nervous just stepping into the pool are now submerging their heads and retrieving objects from the bottom of the pool. We can’t wait to see the progression from here.

On Thursday, we celebrated St Patrick’s Day. Unfortunately, we were unable to have our usual St Patricks Assembly. However, we made sure to have a discussion around the holiday and had some St Patrick’s Day themed activities and colouring.

Finally, we finished the week with Red Nose Day! The children all looked great dressed in red or as superheroes and we raised some money for a great cause.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
