This week in Wheatgrass Class...

·         In English this week we have been talking about our new topic, discussing what we already know about castles and what we want to find out this term. We thought of lots of great questions we wanted to ask during our trip!

·         In Maths this week the Reception children have been working on using words to describe position and direction. The Y1s have been working on describing position, direction and whole, half and quarter turns. 

·         This week have been learning about the different features of a castle. We also took part in a problem-solving morning, finding out which was the most popular destination for our school trip.

Christenings

On Tuesday we learned about Christenings and why they take place. We were lucky enough to be visited by Canon Valerie who performed a Christening service for us. We also had a go at making some stained glass windows.
