If your child will be taking early-leave before the summer holidays, please inform the class teacher beforehand. We can make sure that your child brings home their folders and exercise books.

Please remind your child to return their portfolios next Monday 23rd June. We will be delivering them to your child’s Y4 class teachers for “Getting-to-know-you” activities at the beginning of the new academic year.

The children will not be borrowing home-readers next week as we will be taking stock of the books. They can read from a book at home or Big Universe next week.

We will be using the money raised from our mini market day to buy some pizza and drinks for the children to celebrate the end of the school year. This party will be held on Wednesday. The children can come into school dressed in their party clothes. We also ask them to bring in a reusable plate and cup.

Lunch forms can now be collected from Ms Anna at reception for new registrants.

Here are some photos of our second last week of school! The children have busied themselves preparing for their mini-market day and had a total blast today. We are still working to find out the total amounts raised. It is safe to say we will have enough for an awesome pizza party next Wednesday!

Central Idea:

Different approaches to collaboration influence the productivity of groups

The children will be inquiring into:

Shared goals in group situations (connection)

Skills and behaviour that support collaboration (responsibility)

The impact of their behaviour on a shared goal (reflection)

Next week, the children will be consolidating this unit with some reflections and celebrating the end of the school year!

Problem Solving (Four Operations)

The children will gain first hand experience using money next week at the mini market day. The children will use addition and subtraction to calculate totals and change given.

Next week, the children will be consolidating this unit with some reflections and celebrating the end of the school year!
