The Bongos have had a very busy week.
They have done some amazing work in maths learning how to use arrays to do multiplication calculations. They have created some wonderful city scales where the buildings have arrays for windows.
In writing this week the class have written fantastic traditional stories building on the work we have done on Hansel and Gretel and Baba Yaga.
Thank you to everyone for coming to parents evening it was great to share with you how well your little Bongos are doing.
Finding half of a set of objects, by Miss Adamson
Date: 19th Nov 2016 @ 1:36pm
On Friday we found half of a set of objects by sharing treasure between Pirate Jenny and Pirate Jack. We had to make sure that it was equal so that there wasn't a mutany. Some children also worked out how much treasure there was at the beginning, before it had been halved.
The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe , by Miss Leigh
Date: 18th Nov 2016 @ 3:52pm
I'm sure you've all been hearing about the wonderful adventures of Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter. We've been reading the story and have begun to explore the mysterious world that is Narnia. What an interesting place it seems to be. Imagine living in a place where it's always winter and never Christmas!
The children have been working very hard looking at historical language and trying to use it. We've written diarys and letters. We've debated if Mr Tumnus can be trusted and if is his really a good Faun! We are glad that Lucy decided to go with him, although we know that going with strangers is not something we should ever do. We have found lots of evidence of the characters trusting each other and when their trust has been tested.
We've just met Mr and Mrs Beaver and have heard about Aslan. What will happen next?
Religious Fanoos and projects , by Mrs Pratten
Date: 18th Nov 2016 @ 3:10pm

Biscuits 1, by Mrs Catterall
Date: 11th Nov 2016 @ 10:58pm
This afternoon the children showed great team work while baking chocolate chip biscuits. Each week they will be making and evaluating a different type of biscuit and then deciding which ones to make and sell at the Christmas play performances. I hope there are a few extra biscuits every week, I really enjoyed them today.
Skeletons, by Mrs Catterall
Date: 11th Nov 2016 @ 10:48pm
On Monday this week we had great fun exploring what we already know about our skeletons. There were some very interesting ideas. Throughout the afternoon we developed our understanding of where bones go and what shape they are and have begun to learn the scientific names for them. Over the next few weeks we will be comparing animal skeletons, looking at how our muscles work and then designing our owns skeletons for a specific task. Watch this space.
