This week we have been very involved in our Christmas Concert presentations. We gave four performances of the pantomime, Cinderella - two in the afternoons and two evening performances. It all went very well indeed.

In English, we have been continuing our work on recounts, writing pieces reporting fictional stories as well as recounts of recent events and activities at school (including our pantomime). We have done some place value work in maths and written reports of some of our science experiments.

We had an art day in which we produced our "talking textile" piece. We used a range of media to produce a large-scale piece of artwork on cloth which told the story of Theseus and the Minotaur (fitting in with our history work on ancient Greece). These were group efforts, involving children working together in teams of five or six to design and make the piece. The outcomes were very pleasing.

We have also continued with our weaving and some of the class have already finished their first picture panel very satisfactorily. We will be making these into cards or calendars next week.
