We’ve had another exciting and busy week! In English, we continued reading The Last Bear and explored how April’s relationship with her dad has changed over time. We also discovered more about her magical bond with Bear and loved seeing how their friendship has grown.

In Maths, we completed our first fractions unit—every child worked exceptionally hard, and we’re so proud of their efforts! In Geography, we learned about biomes in the polar regions, including polar deserts and tundras, and began comparing the North and South Poles.

We were also super lucky to join in and watch the first ever assembly from Antartica with Robert Swan - we loved hearing about his expeditions and his mission for 2041!

Our DT lessons have been hands-on as we started sewing our winter hats—we can’t wait to see the finished designs! In Science, we carried out an experiment to find which material is the best thermal insulator and discussed why these materials are so important.

PE was full of festive fun with our “Crimbo Limbo” Christmas-themed session, and during lunchtimes, we’ve started our 12 Days of Fitness challenge. It was lovely to meet you all at parents’ evening, and we hope you have a wonderful weekend!
