It's been another lovely week in Snow Leopards and the children have finished writing their stories. In ICT, we practised our keyboard and presentation skills by typing these stories up. The children have used the  features of Spell Check to edit their work and the thesaurus to help them to find alternative words. Next week, we will be starting our new topic, Hola Mexico,  and our class reader - Holes by Louis Sachar.  In maths, we have finished our unit on adding and subtracting fractions and are having a 'fraction break' for a week before returning to multiplying and dividing fractions. In this intervening week, we are learning about Geometry - specifically, position and direction.  Once again, we have exciting plans for our new topic and are currently planning a 'Wow' event which will take place early on in the Spring term.  Mrs Penton and Miss Savory
Thank you to everyone who was able to come to the reading cafe last Friday. This was a real success and the children enjoyed creating works of art, which will soon be on show in the upper school library. In maths this week, we have continued with our work with fractions and the children have been doing number line work as well as adding and subtracting fractions. In English, the children have planned a story based in the Antarctic, with an animal as the main character. During this piece of writing, we are focussing on speech punctuation and using a variety of clauses in our writing. In science, the children are creating food chains and food webs, based on animals which live in one of the polar regions. Finally, please keep an eye out for a letter which will be coming home in the next couple of weeks, inviting you to our end of term carol service on Tuesday 18th December at 9:45am.

Thankyou to all the adults who were able to come along to our reading cafe on Friday 16th November. Everyone worked together to produce some fabulous artwork. We are hoping to display the work in the library over the next week or so. Here are a few photographs from the morning.
