We have enjoyed a wonderful half term in Caradoc. During the final two weeks the children have been busy completing assessments in Maths and English, I am very proud of the progress they have made.

We have also been enjoying building Minotaur heads using papier mache in preparation for our Greek celebration day on the first day back after half term (more about that later).

In science the children have been investigating which materials are attracted to magnets.

Here are a few photographs from our final week:

I would like to say congratulations to Tyler for achieving Star of the Week this week, very much deserved and to Kam for earning our Values Champion pin this half term:

Finally, don’t forget that on Monday 7th June (the first day back) we will be holding our ‘Greek’ day. We are all going to dress up as an ancient Greek god or goddess or mythical beast. Please don’t feel you need to buy and special clothing for this, you could make a robe from a bed sheet, make a crown or mask or adapt an animal onesie to become a mythical beast. We will be preparing food and taking part in lots of different activities and of course showcasing our completed Minotaur heads!

I would encourage you to read with your child over the half term break and talk about the stories and books together. Enjoy the half term holiday, stay safe and thank you all again for your continued support.

Well, we have certainly had some interesting weather this week. The children were sure that Zeus, the Ancient Greek god of thunder Paid Holy Trinity a visit earlier this week! The children have been writing about Ancient Greek gods and goddesses and also producing pastel and watercolour pictures of their chosen god or goddess. We have completed our work on performance poetry, we have really enjoyed listening to and discussing poems by Michael Rosen, Brian Moses and Roald Dahl. In Maths, we have been mastering short multiplication. Can I ask that anyone who didn’t return their reading book today does so on Monday so that we can change the books.

Here are just a few photographs from our week.
Have a lovely weekend, we look forward to welcoming the children back on Monday.

We have had another exciting week in Caradoc. The children are really enjoying researching facts bout Ancient Greek gods and goddesses. We were treated to a short presentation by each group about their chosen god or goddess. In our reading comprehension we have been focusing on performance poetry and have listened to poems by a range of poets including Brian Moses and Michael Rosen. I have been very impressed with the children’s thoughtful responses. In Maths we have been multiplying a 2 digit number by a 1 digit number.
Our birthday party on Thursday was a great success. I hope you enjoy looking at some of the photographs from our week.
