Elm Spring
ENGLISH
This half-term we have been writing our own inspirational speech about refugees. We have read the story 'The Colour of Home' which is about a boy called Hassan who flees his worn-torn country in Somalia. We have studied the features of a good speech and applied this to our own writing.
LEEDS GALLERY
During the last week of February half term, we joined up with St Mary's school to take part in a collaborative art event at Leeds Gallery. We loved exploring the gallery and finding out about the various artists and the messages in their artwork. Our favourite part was the 'draw and talk' workshop, which saw us working with our peers at St Mary's to develop conversation through art. Miss McLaughlin was so impressed with our impeccable behaviour and outstanding attitude to learning.
MATHS - TIMESTABLEs
Elm class are working really hard in maths and are showing determination and ressilience with soe tricky concepts. Times table fluency is crucial to supporting the fluency of many concepts. Therefore, I have asked the children to continue to practice their timetables at home as well as at school. All children have a logon to TTRockstars which can be accessed here:
