What a week!

I think we can all agree that Sports Day was a huge success- we were so lucky with the weather! Thank you for all who came to support Class 3- I was very proud of their determination and sportsmanship.

This week we have been promoting the importance of having a 'Growth Mindset'. Miss Vidler has helped us to understand just what this means a little better- she's even started a Growth Mindset blog (please check it out!). In Class 3 we all decided upon a skill or challenge as individuals that we would like to accomplish by the end of the week. Ashton was determined to learn how to tie his laces, Amalea worked so hard to learn the 'Cup Song' and Charlotte and Sophie worked tirelessly to improve their clapping song skills! In class, we all learned how to either make a paper aeroplane or a 'fortune teller'- I'm really sorry if your house is currently filled with bits of paper... I know that the classroom is! Special recognition should go to the Year 2 children for their resilience right from the start. They never doubted that they could achieve the challenge- even if it was tricky.

Murray & Louie persevering with the challenge!

Charlotte was super proud of her progress!

Maya took on the challenge independently!

Alongside our Growth Mindset work, we have been writing stories based upon Charlie & The Chocolate Factory in English and interpreting and presenting data in Maths. In Science, the Year 3 children made fossils. They look absolutely awesome! I didn't have a chance to take photos of them yesterday but feel free to come in and have a look at them before the children take them home.

Finally... the Year 2 children attended the Infant Music Festival on Monday morning and I've heard that they were absolutely fantastic! Well done all of you- you should be very proud!

Looking forward to more fun filled days!

Hope you've had a lovely weekend,

Mrs Ward :)
