This week in music we started learning songs for the Nativity. I’m sure over the coming weeks you will find yourself singing along as your child continues to sing them at home! If you child has some lines to say, please can you help your child to recite them so they can enjoy performing them with confidence when on the stage. As a school we will provide costumes, although you may be asked to provide some clothing items such as tights, but this will be communicated to individual parents in due course.
In computing, we are continuing to discuss who are trustworthy and untrustworthy adults and what information is ok to share whilst online. This week, we designed some super information posters to help other children to learn this important message.
In science, we learned some similarities and differences between turtles and tortoises. Mrs Lightfoot talked about her pet tortoise and how it hibernates for winter in a fridge!
In PSHE, we talked about why some children might bully other children and how bullied children might feel. We learnt the meaning of the word ‘bullied’ and when to use it.
In history, we compared how football today is different from when Walter Tull played. As homework, you might like to watch a modern football match as there is an important match being played tonight!
