We started the week with writing our own versions of the song ‘Twelve days of Christmas’. The boys thought of their own ideas, e.g. ‘twelve chocolate coins and eleven hugs’.
The boys were very excited about the visit from Judge Rinder on Tuesday; some of them recognised him from Strictly Come Dancing.
We had a Christmas party with RGM, we listened to Christmas songs and played pass the parcel.
We have been busy making Christmas crafts and cards, we hope you like them!
On Wednesday we had lots of Christmas fun! We came into school in our own clothes, there were some fantastic Christmas outfits and jumpers. We went on a treasure hunt with the maps we had made and then created our own pirate ship. We also had our yummy Christmas lunch followed by some exciting Christmas entertainment.
Thank you to all the boys who made a decoration for the Christmas Giving Tree, it’s full of love and Christmas cheer!
Mrs Curran and I want to congratulate the boys on such a successful first term. They have all been working very hard and are so keen and positive towards learning. It has been great fun and a pleasure teaching the boys and we look forward to welcoming them back in the New Year. Have a fun and relaxing break.

Please bring a photo of your family on Christmas day or over the holidays.
We have sent home some half term challenges. Please find the Maths questions below for over the holidays:
How many different ways can you make 10 and then 20 by counting on and using your fingers?
Using toys in your house can you line them up and find one more and one less than the amount you lined up?
Can you find these shapes in your house… square, triangle, circle, rectangle, pentagon, hexagon and octagon?
Christopher has been counting buttons to find different ways to make 10. He found 17 different ways.
Well done Christopher! I am looking forward to you sharing your findings.
William found 11 ways to make 10 and 21 ways to make 20
Going round the house, he found cushions to be square, the back of the chairs to have a triangle design, the door handles to be round/circular, his Star Wars toy’s wings to have an hexagon shape, the pattern on his football to be a Pentagon, and the sequin on his school photo to be an Octagon.
Fantastic work William, I am impressed with the many different shapes you found around your house!
