We will be welcoming governors into our school for governors to see a snapshot of our school in action, to soak up the ethos and see some curriculum subjects in action. Governors will be in the playground between 3:15 and 3:30 to speak to parents, so please do approach them and talk to them.

Writing
This week we will be basing our writing around Bristol. We will creating posters and will be writing about all of the things we love about Bristol and why!
We will also be writing up our science experiments.

This week we will focusing on doubling and liknking this back to the repeated addition we were doing a couple of weeks ago. E.g. double 9 is 18 and 9+9=18.

We will then be moving onto halving and quartering of shapes and objects. In order to be halved and quartered the shape must be split into 2 or 4 equal parts.
