Thank you to all the parents/carers who came to our curriculum evening this week. You can find the presentations on the school website: https://www.bybrookvalleyschool.co.uk/page/?title=%2ACurriculum+Evening%2A&pid=482 

Lots of you also asked for a copy of the handwriting handout we have in class. Here are the images and I will save them in Home Learning on our Kestrels page.

In worship this week, we continued to focus on our value of thankfulness and in our KS1 class worship we thought about who we are thankful for. The children gave brilliant answers and explained why they thought we should be thankful to all these different people. 

In English, we have been looking at different sentence types. We have written statements, commands, questions and exclamations and used 'Where the Wild Things' to inspire our sentences. Here is some work on statements and commands:

We were very lucky this week in PE as year 6 joined us to teach us different team games. The year 6's were great young leaders and the children loved learning new games that they can play together at break and lunchtimes.

In science, we were comparing and grouping different materials. We learnt words that can be used to describe the properties of materials and used these to help us group different materials. 

Star of the Week is….

Ariana! For brilliant repeating sound patterns in music.
