Good afternoon all,
What should we talk about, the weather? Darker and darker evenings? OR 1 FAB NATIVITY – perhaps the latter! I must begin with thanks to my incredible colleagues. Mrs Davies, Miss McCrone and Mrs Devine. The effort from them all has been truly above and beyond and they are the overwhelming reason why your children have done so well and preformed to such a high standard. Thank you to everyone at home for working on the songs, lines and actions. A final and most important thank you to Pendle and Parlick class! Standing at the front in a very busy hall is never an easy task let alone preforming and singing! I sincerely hope you enjoyed our show, well done everyone. In our phonics we are targeting a range of sounds within phase 3. I did promise all the children an incredible present at the end of this term, a sound mat to take home! You will be proud and slightly surprised by how keen they are over this, so save money this Christmas and do some phonics. In mathematics we have plotted out shapes and gave reasoning for a guess (when the shape is hidden) and then key identifying properties of a shape when we see it. For a wonderful art masterpiece we worked with our buddy friends in Beacon Class! As a team we tried to recreate the famous Van Gogh ‘Starry Night’ painting. Our buddies showed us some interesting techniques, one was a ‘splatter’ which sounds very messy but if done carefully looks incredible and showers the canvas with colour. I would like to remind you all that the Christmas Fair will be this evening afterschool. I shall see you all then. Please remember that the school trip to the Lowther is Tuesday 17th December. Any questions, please ask. Thank you all for a very special week we are all going to remember and see you all Monday. Pictures and clips of the Nativity will be with you ASAP!
With love,
Mr McGill
