Hello Thornham

I hope you have had a great week despite the weather.

We have been busy this week completing some Maths and English assessments.  Well done to all who have worked really hard this week. Hopefully we will complete the all by the end of next week.

We had another great swimming lesson this week and are looking forward our next lesson on Monday.

Unfortunately due to the rather wet and windy weather we did not do PE outside this week however we discussed how to run and jump and land safely so we are ready for next week (weather permitting).

Next week is our last week before the half term break.  It doesn’t seem possible we only have a few nore weeks in Thronham before the summer holidays.

Hello Thornham,

I hope you have had a good week.  We have enjoyed our learning this week. In Art we are learning about the artist Georges Seurat.  We have started to learn how he used the style of Pointilism to create his amazing paintings. We  have had a go at using his style of shading.

Here are a few examples.

Amelia for her story she wrote at home and times tables work.
