28th and 29th June
We had a special activity today when everyone in the class went to visit our infant school to form our Buddy Groups. (We make Buddy Groups at Westdale so that the children who join our school in September will already know some children and know that they have someone in addition to the teachers and dinner ladies who they can talk to and who will help them.)
In groups of two or three we joined up with groups of two or three infants. We took photographs and then helped our infant "buddies" to plan some writing about themselves. We are looking forward to the return visit when the infants come to our school next week. Then we will help them to write up their work on a sheet together with their photographs.
This afternoon we concentrated on history, thinking about the changes that happened in Nottingham soon after the Norman Conquest.
Yesterday, in addition to our PE session with the YMCA, we had Spanish and handwriting. In maths we revised some work on decimals and long multiplication and in English we planned a poster to persuade children to go along to a holiday club.
