Hello everybody, we are all looking forward to Christmas! Making cards, decorating our classrooms and presenting our Christmas performance has been very exciting and exhausting. We are all looking forward to the Christmas holidays. Well done to Year 6 for their achievements. They have received their Young Pioneers certificates  and First Aid badges which were presented in a special assembly on Friday.

We would like to wish you all a very merry and peaceful Christmas and look forward to seeing you again in the New Year.

Year 3 have been enjoying planning and story-boarding their stories about 'The Magic Brush'.They will soon be learning about and using interesting words and punctuation to help them write fantastic stories.
In mathematics, they have been extending their learning by practicing column addition.They found out that it was really easy to add big numbers using this method. Some can even add  up to two or three digit numbers.

Year 4 had a fantastic time at the Gudwara in Gravesend. They learned all about Sikhism.They said, "the temple was amazing!"In mathematics, they also made 3D shapes with pipe cleaners and beads.
This helped them learn the properties of shapes.I was really exciting when they put their Christmas tree up on Tuesday 3rd December 2013. Then they made lots of 3D shapes from nets and put them under the tree.
