Indoor ‘Cross Country!’

Even though we couldn’t go off site on Friday for cross country club, the children really enjoyed the indoor circuit training instead.

 

Mexican Day!

Dear Parents,

As part of our geography topic on comparing people and places, Class 4 have been learning about Mexico. We would like to have a Mexican Fiesta and Feast Day in school on Wednesday 30th November.  We would really appreciate it if the children could dress up for that day in some Mexican themed clothes.  For example :  ponchos, sombreros and/or lots of brightly coloured clothes.

We are looking forward to seeing what the children wear and to having lots of fun that day.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Many thanks for your support,

Samantha Foster

Update

In English we have been looking at ‘slam poetry.’  The children wrote their own poems about Bicton School.  We have been thinking about what makes our school special in PSHCE and these ideas helped us write our poems.

In maths we continued our work on shapes and looked at multiples of numbers and numbers with common multiples.

In geography we did some follow up work from our trip last week.  We discussed what makes Shrewsbury special and what we knew about these features of Shrewsbury.  The children worked in groups to try and persuade the rest of the class that a particular feature of Shrewsbury was the best one.

We wish everyone a happy half term and will see you all next half term!
