We’ve had a busy week in Caradoc with some great learning.  We have been using describing words in English and looking at number bonds in Maths. In RE we looked at the Parable of The Lost Son and in Computing we looked at using technology.  In PE we used the equipment to balance and in Geography we looked at aerial photographs, creating our own of the classroom. In Science we looked at different materials in the classroom and in Art we created artwork in nature.

Well done to our star of the week, Aurora, for being a ray of sunshine.  Also to Artur for last week for always being a great role model.

The children have settled into Caradoc beautifully this week, everyone has been happy and eager to join in. We spent our first three days getting to know each other, learning our class rules and expectations, and working as a team.  The children have shown me their writing skills, how far the can count up to and the numbers they recognise, as well as building, junk modelling and sharing how the adults in class can support them best. We also visited our school library on Friday.

We are all looking forward to the year ahead and diving straight into our first learning week. Please remember we have our PE sessions on a Monday and Thursday so all children need their school PE kits in.

If you have any questions, please do let me know via dojo.

Wow, what a final week we have had! We have had so much fun showing off what we have been learning in our lessons by making posters, and working together to make up our own PE games and playing board games.  We have also done some free crafts as well as playing one of Mrs Lewis’ alphabet picture games. We have watched the Year Six Leavers Assembly and took part in Holy Trinity’s got Talent. We also said well done to Mathew who was our values champion for being such a kind and caring boy, a great role model and showing resilience in his writing.

It has been a pleasure teaching your children this year.  Their progress has amazed us and they are all more than ready to start Year Three.  Thank you for the cards, gifts and kind words.  We wish you all a fantastic and safe Summer.

Thank you,

Mrs Thompstone, Mrs Morgan and Mrs Lewis.

We have had a fun and busy week in Caradoc.  We have finished off our Secret Giant stories in English and completed our units in the majority of lessons with quizzes to demonstrate the children’s learning and understanding. On Monday we prepared our chosen fruit and made fruit kebabs.  We held a Great Fire of London morning on Thursday which was great fun and all the children went home with a bread roll they had baked – they were delicious! On Friday we joined the rest of the school in our Holi Colour Run and we found our about why Hindu’s so this.
