Endeavour Class: Term 2, Week 5

Last week we learned a lot about why King Alfred is the only English Monarch to be called 'Great'.

This week will learn all about his battle strategies as we delve into the Battle of Edington. We will do some drama around this before writing a newspaper recount of the whole ordeal - I'm looking forward to some detailed battle descriptions!

In maths, Fractions is the unit of work that all upper school year groups are working on. Y6 are beginning to multiply and divide fractions by integers and fractions!

We are beginning to turn our attention to Christmas; the carol practise has begun! Our annual Christmas Star competition has been launched and will be judged next Friday - please ensure the children bring their stars in then, they should be made to endure all weathers and made as naturally as possible. I can't wait to see what the children manage to produce!

Please do ensure the children are bringing in a healthy snack for breaktime as they are quite hungry by 10:45am, thank you.

Have a lovely week.

Mrs Burbedge
