Jess’ Class Week 6 Term 2

Everyone in the school started their new sports choices this week and I was lucky enough to take a beautiful sunny winter walk down to St Aidan’s Church Hall with a group of very excited children, for their first jazz dance lesson. Basketball was a huge success as was yoga and the usual ‘games at school’, and Susan ran a small group through their fitness strides in a circuit set-up.

In English, we have been learning about coordinating conjunctions that are used to groooowww sentences. We have discussed the sometimes subtle differences in meaning between words such as ‘and’, ‘but’, ‘so’ and ‘or’. In maths we have explored fractions and some of the children have used their knowledge to make bookmarks by folding and decorating paper in parts.

Thursday was of course a highlight, with so many of the children coming to school with costumes and jewellery from their family heritage. They all did a wonderful job getting up in from of their peers and then the parents to explain the significance of the clothing and the connection to their roots.

A gorgeous way to bring us all together in the classroom.

Warm wishes,
Jess
