The boys looked amazing in their spooky and scary costumes today. It brightened up a dreary and wet day for sure!
2OA did well in the judging of the pumpkin competition.
Andreas L won the best pumpkin and Emilio was a runner up. Well done boys. There was an amazing selection of pumpkins to view which we had a look at before going into the dining room for lunch!
We hope you have a wonderful half term
The boys absolutely loved both making and eating their sandwiches yesterday afternoon!
They followed their plans well and the finished sandwiches reflected their planning. They showed good spreading and cutting skills. The taking of turns to share the knives was very impressive.
It was great to see that some boys decided to add some extra salad to make it even healthier!
This morning they evaluated their sandwich thinking about what they found easy, what they would change next time and whether they enjoyed their sandwich. Most responses were that their sandwich was the best they had ever had!!!
Enjoy some photos below of this activity.
In Maths this week we have continued with column addition and crossing over 10’s. The carrying element was quite tricky and a skill we will continue to build on!
Our History lesson was chronologically ordering images of seaside holidays. The boys are bringing together all of the knowledge and information we have learnt over the half term.
Whilst in Geography we were comparing British beaches with a foreign beach. The boys were surprised at some of the images I showed them. There were beaches in Cornwall that looked like they could be abroad! The only clue was the colour difference in the sea!
Super seaside themed acrostic poems were written in English. Ask your son how an acrostic poem is set out. Can you write one? Can your son write one for the word sandwich?

NEXT WEEK –
OUR SPELLING TEST WILL BE ON THURSDAY AS WE ARE NOT IN SCHOOL ON THE FRIDAY!
It has been another busy but fun filled week.
Enjoy the weekend when it comes
It was lovely to welcome parents into our classroom this week for the Open Afternoon. I hope you enjoyed looking through all the wonderful work that your son’s have produced in a relatively short time frame! The boys really enjoyed having you in and being the teacher, explaining what they have learnt.
The boys have been working on addition in Maths and did some great column addition today. They really enjoyed the work and showed a good understanding of place value.
In DT the boys excitedly planned their ‘sandwich’ that we will be making next week in class. When they were told it was real and that they could eat them excitement levels were high! This links into our Science work about healthy eating and exercise.
We continued to compare seaside holidays past and present using photographs and postcards as our evidence and our study on what Blackpool had to offer makes it a great seaside town to visit. The Posters they made covered all the fabulous things there are to see and do.
In English we have worked on writing our own version of the “Lighthouse Keeper’s Picnic Lunch.” The lunches written about sounded delicious.
Have a lovely weekend
