Term Highlights: Inspiration, Learning & Creativity
Dear Parents and Carers,
We’ve had a fantastic term full of exciting learning opportunities, and we’re thrilled to share some of the highlights with you!
Inspirational Figures
Our class has been learning about some truly remarkable people. The students chose Emma Watson as a favourite for her inspiring work in acting and gender equality. We also explored the achievements of Simon Farwell, who has contributed to the world of computing education, and the pioneering scientist Marie Curie, whose groundbreaking research in physics and chemistry has fascinated us all. These figures sparked meaningful conversations about determination, equality, and the power of knowledge and students wrote a biography of their favourite person.
Marvellous Maths
In maths, we’ve been exploring rectangles and squares. The children have been measuring, drawing, and comparing shapes, and applying their knowledge to practical problems. They’ve done brilliantly in recognising the properties of 2D shapes and even created their own shape-based puzzles.
Creative Computing
Computing lessons have been all about selection in quizzes—learning how computers make decisions using if/else logic. The children applied this knowledge using Scratch, a fun and accessible programming platform. They’ve created interactive quizzes and games where players make choices and see different outcomes, which has really boosted their problem-solving and coding skills.
