Term 3 Week 1 10.1.25
Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas break and I want to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you for all the wonderful gifts you kindly gifted. They were truly appreciated!
This week has been an exciting one as we’ve jumped straight back into our lessons. In Literacy, we delved into letter writing, focusing on writing a formal letter for our cold write. We spent most of the week discussing and debating what we would change at Park Way if we were the head teacher and why. The children did an excellent job writing persuasive letters to Mrs. Dhanecha. From this we will be learning the skills to write a formal letter. We will also start to read The Demon Headmaster next week.
In Maths, Year 5 tackled the challenge of multiplying numbers up to three digits by two-digit numbers, while Year 6 explored the intriguing world of ratios.
Our Science lesson saw the class retrieve their knowledge of creating simple circuits, sparking a lot of curiosity and discussion.
In DT, we have started using Micro:bits, exploring their inputs and outputs.
Additionally, we had some engaging discussions about healthy eating in PSHE, and in PE, we kicked off our Gymnastics topic and will be collaborating with Commando Josh every Friday.
In Spanish, we’ve embarked on our 'Mi Casa' topic, which I’m sure the children will enjoy.
Well done to Cedar Class for a great assembly sharing all of our learning from last term. We could only show a snippet but there was a lot of learning last term.
Reminders
PE is now Thursday and Friday (with Commando Josh)
Stud earrings should be worn to school and not hoops. Earrings should not be worn for PE.
Well done to everyone for an excellent start to Term 3.
