Thankfulness & Investigating Sound


This week in Gascoigne class our curriculum has been incredibly varied and very busy. The children have produced some excellent fronted adverbial work in literacy as well as acrostic poems about Thankfulness and Harvest. Each child was also asked to create a ‘plate’ that represented which foods they were thankful for.



We have continued to work on Ancient Greek DT projects this week and some children have shown a real flair for design and creativity. In addition, the children continue to impress our visiting teachers during their vocal coaching and woodwind sessions.

Today our curriculum became more investigative as the children were tasked with being scientists – testing materials and their ability to provide effective sound insulation. They were absolutely fantastic in their approach to working scientifically, taking time and care to produce accurate and clear results.



Finally, when you rummage through school bags this weekend you will notice the children have been given homework for the first time. This includes a variety of tasks and information about the learning taking place in class. There is no obligation to complete every task, many are just suggestions that children can complete if they want to further develop their learning in a particular curriculum area. Please just have a look and discuss with your child.

Have a great weekend.
