End of Term 4: 2/4/26

🎉 Wow! What a Fantastic Term! 🎉

What an incredible term of learning, laughter, and achievement it has been! As we reach the end of Term 4, everyone is more than ready for a well-deserved break 😄🌸

Here’s a little snapshot of everything we’ve been up to this week:

📖 English
We’ve been busy polishing our Grammar and Punctuation skills, helping to strengthen our writing and revisiting key areas as part of our Year 6 SATs retrieval practice 🖊️✅

🔢 Maths

• Year 6 explored angles in triangles, learning that they always total 180° 📐
• Year 5 focused on statistics, developing their skills in reading tables and charts 📊

💻 Computing
We turned into travel agents for the day ✈️🌍, using our database skills to search for flights and holidays—lots of excitement and excellent computing skills on display!

🔬 Science
We completed our fascinating ‘Out of Africa’ topic by examining fossils and learning about the incredible work of Charles Darwin and Mary Anning 🦴🧬

⚽ PE
Easter-themed team games kept us active and smiling 😊🐣—plenty of new games and lots of racing hearts!

Spanish
We’ve now finished learning all about dates—¡muy bien, everyone!

🎶 Music
Using percussion instruments, we worked hard to keep to a steady beat. This topic has been a real favourite, and the enthusiasm has been fantastic 🥁🎵
