Preparing for the Isle of Wight
It has been lovely to see the children return to school after the half-term break, full of excitement about our imminent residential trip. There has been a decidedly Isle of Wight flavour to lessons this week! In maths, we have continued our work on decimals, which will prove very handy when considering how best to spend pocket money on the trip. We've also been busy orienteering, which will be useful in making sure that we get to all the right places at all the right times. In art, we've been finishing our landscape watercolours and finding out about the work of Turner, Cezanne and O'Keefe - which will help us to better appreciate the scenery from an artist's perspective, and finally, we've been making sure that everyone is up to speed with what to bring. Fingers crossed for some sunshine!
