Hello again everyone!

Another week has whizzed by, and it's been a busy week!

In Maths, we've been continuing our fractions topic, and this week have been exploring equivalent fractions.  In English, we've started a topic on persuasive writing - I set the class a task of using persuasive techniques to make me give them extra playtime, and there were some great ideas!  We've been thinking more about the vocabulary we can use in our writing, and have been looking at some tier 2 vocabulary in a persuasive letter.

In History, we continued to learn about Ancient Greece, this week focussing on iconic philosophers, such as Socrates and Plato.  We looked at their achievements, and thought about why their ideas might have been a bit strange in the Ancient world!  

During PE, Mrs Edwards introduced to a new game, which was almost a mixture between cricket and rounders.  We tried it with her on Monday, and built on those skills again on Friday.  I'm really proud of Oak class for trying their best, and for showing good sportsmanship!  Ask one of Oak class to explain how it works!

​It was also 'Break the Rules' day this week, and (although children should never break the rules regarding uniform, teddies, etc!!!) it was great to see all the creative rule-breaking for one day only!  Even myself and Betsy break the uniform rules!)

Today, all the children in the school came home with an invitation to Chagford's very own Jubilee Tea Party, which will be taking place on Friday 27th, in the afternoon (the last day of term!)  The dress code is 'Royalty!' so wear your best clothes, your crowns, tiaras, your suits, dresses, anything that you think royalty might wear!

Have a great weekend everyone!
