What a Circus!

We certainly had a jam-packed end to our 3rd week of school!  The children participated in Circus-Style workshops in The Big Top (which we also watched being assembled!) and we had a great time watching a special performance just for the Swallowtail Federation with our friends before having a glorious picnic outside!  It was a very special week for us all!  We were delighted to see so many of you join in for more fun on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon too!  Well done Mrs. Amos for her excellent clown dancing!  ;)

For our Creative Writing this week, we listened to a song by the Rascal Flatts called "My Wish".  The children wrote about what they thought the lyrics meant, who it was written for, how it made them feel and some even wrote about a wish they had for someone important to them!  The children wrote lovely, thoughtful responses to the message of the song.  Some of it very close to their hearts, so watch out for that piece of writing in their books!  I will however, share a couple of excerpts from Alfie's wonderful writing:

"The song makes me think about a clear night with lots of bright stars.  It makes me feel calm and happy because it has a mixture of up tempo and down tempo.  It makes me feel relaxed and want to sing!"

Despite our hectic schedule on Thursday and Friday, we did manage to get some Maths done!  Year 3 have wowed me with their great times table practice!  Keep up the great work!  And a very well done this week to Alfie, Gracie & Jack!
