Dina Asher-Smith class update

It’s been straight back to business in our first week back after half term. 

Whilst the weather has been pretty grim, it hasn’t deterred or affected our attitude to learning.

In English this term we are studying the art of quest writing; imaging courageous heroes or heroines journeying across mythical lands to do battle with ferocious creatures in an attempt to collect or return something. We’re only a couple of lessons in but the children are already showing a keen grasp of how to create suspense in this style of writing.

We are nearing the end of David Almond’s fantastic text, Skellig. This has been a really enjoyable book about how the main protagonist, Michael, battles with change in his life – in more ways than one.

Monday afternoon saw us start our P.E topic this half term of basketball. I was immediately impressed with the leadership skills and ability of some of the class, and it was very evident that they play this outside of school. I am already looking forward to taking a team over to the January basketball tournament at Medina. Included below are some pictures from last term’s tag rugby sessions.



Finally, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank and congratulate everyone who participated in any sports fixtures last term. Once again, we have many fixtures coming up this month, starting with the rescheduled Y3/4 match against Haylands on Tuesday.
