This week during Maths week we have been exploring measure – length and height. We have been using the language of measure and exploring how to measure using forms of non-standard measure. We know we can measure using anything, as long as the item is the same. Take a look at all the measuring we have been doing!
On Friday Year 2 performed their class assembly exploring Christmas around the world.
The children learned their lines, learned new songs and used their acting skills to put on a fantastic show. Their voices were loud and clear and they sang beautifully – well done!
We visited China, Australia and Poland to see how they celebrate Christmas. We found out that in Poland they believe the star (Gwiazjda) is very important at Christmas and when they see it on Christmas eve, they can begin their feast!
In China they believe Jesus is the light of the world so lights play a very special part in their celebrations. Many Christians in China make paper lanterns to decorate their trees.
In Australia Christmas falls right in the middle of their summer holidays so it is very hot! Many Australian Christians head to the beach for a barbeque and games on the sand!

During last week Year 6 have been looking at Victorian Workhouses in topic work. They had to imagine they were a child from the workhouse keeping a diary. They used the features of diary writing and even managed a shift in formality.
In Year 1 we have been focusing on the book the Smartest Giant in Town. This week we have become authors and written our own versions of the story. We made sure we included story language and we also thought carefully about the punctuation we need to remember in our sentences.
Have a read of our stories!
