Week ending 27th February 2026

Welcome back to Term 4!  Hopefully that means that the rain will finally end and the sun will make an appearance!

In literacy we have started our new text - Escape from Pompeii by Christina Balit - as this links with our topic of Active Planet. It tells the story of a Roman boy called Tranio when Mount Vesuvius erupts in AD79.  We look forward to reading more about his story as the term progresses.

In numeracy, Year 3 have started learning about perimeter and how this is calculated by counting the number of squares whilst Year 4 are continuing their learning about fractions and how to find an equivalent.

Finally, can I say how proud I was of all the children on Wednesday during our visit to Leeds Castle.  They behaved with respect and kindness and showed their knowledge and interest in the castle.  I hope they enjoyed themselves and didn’t complain too much about achy feet when they got home!

Enjoy you weekend.
